Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. – Phil. 4:5
The meaning of Maranatha is – “the Lord is coming”. Christians used to greet “Maranatha”, which is an encouragement to oppressed Christians. It’s a good reminder to all of us that Jesus Christ’s second coming is any time. while we wait for our Lord, Paul is reminding us to make known of our “gentleness” to all people.
The Bible says, “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger” – Pro 15:1. It’s easy to use a loose or harsh word, but it is difficult to be gentle, but it is a blessing to you and others. Remember, “gentleness” is one of the fruit of the Spirit, if you exercise, God will help you to attain this. Let us all be “gentle” like Jesus, who took the cross despising the shame.
Have a GENTLE day ahead.
