Tozer on the Son of GodSmakprov

The Kindness and Forgiveness of Christ Think how utterly kind our Lord Jesus is. The Love of God is kinder than the measure of man's mind. Think of the kindness of Jesus in contrast to the harshness, the severity, the sharpness, the bitterness, the acidity in so many people’s lives. How can a kind Savior feel perfectly at home with a harsh Christian? Then there is forgiveness. He is a forgiving Lord, and He forgave them while they beat Him. He forgave them while they put Him on the cross. But how hard and vengeful so many of the Lord’s children are! Can you remember bad things that happened to you twenty years ago? You can’t get over it; you say you’ve forgiven it, but you haven't. You're vengeful; Jesus is forgiving. And He proved He was forgiving by dying in blood. You prove that you’re vengeful and hard by many proofs and demonstrations. Lord Jesus, You are holy and righteous, yet You are also kind. You are gentle and love the lowly. Thank You for showing me Your kindness, and may I extend it to others this day. Amen.
