Our paragraph topic is: (The mercy of Jesus) Part 3.
The battle continues and the prophecy is fulfilled. It was written of Christ before he came. It was told of his miracles before he was born. It was spoken of his meekness before it was known. For the Spirit of the Lord was upon him and he was the chosen one. He was the Christ. They did not know. The Pharisees plotted against him. They did not know. He was the Lord of the Sabbath. They did not know. He was greater than the Temple. But he was meek as a lamb.
Christ continued to preach and heal and perform miracles. He did not shout from the rooftops. He did not preach in the streets. He did not debate with the elders. For he was meek and mild of manner. It was written of him by Isaias, "He will not wrangle, nor cry aloud, neither will anyone hear his voice in the streets." For the Spirit of the Lord was upon him and he preached the good news of the kingdom of heaven. He declared judgment to the Gentiles who were in need of judgment. For the Gentiles had seen injustice far too long. They had been downtrodden. They had been the recipients of injustice. They had been without hope for too long.
Christ came meek and mild. He came to restore that which was taken away. He came to give life to the dead that they may have life eternally. He was a quiet man. He was a man of easy demeanor. He was a man without hatred or fear and he demonstrated to his disciples the ways of the kingdom which they were to preach after the completion of his mission here on earth. The prophecy was fulfilled. For it was written of the type of man he would be. It was spoken in the scripture of his actions. And he came to fulfill the writings of the scripture.
Can we say the same of our spiritual leaders today? Are they meek? Are they of mild demeanor? Do they cry aloud in the streets, in the synagogues, in the churches? Do they wrangle with their fellow man to prove a point, to win an issue, to be correct? Do they know the Spirit of the Lord? For Christ said, "Come, take my yoke for it is light and his burden is easy." The Spirit will teach all to those who seek Him. The Spirit knows all and will reveal all to those who want more than this world has to offer. Come! Walk in the Spirit! Take up the yoke of Christ and receive his blessings.
