Here is a picture of Christ; not as one who is weak, but one who is meek. He is full of mercy for the

weak, the faint-hearted, and the broken – that is, those who are weary by their sin.

He does not quench the smoking wick, but fans it into flame. He does not break those who are

already bending, but binds them up. Therefore, let none despair of coming to him. But take heed:

This gentleness is reserved for those who bend the knee; the proud shall find him to be a

consuming fire.
