Meekness reflects Christ's character and is essential for our witness to others.
The Apostle Paul instructs that Christians should be 'gentle, showing all meekness unto all men' (Titus 3:2). Meekness is an attribute of Christ and is vital for Christians as it denotes strength under control. It enables believers to engage positively with others, avoiding contentiousness, which can damage our witness. Moreover, Jesus exemplified meekness throughout His ministry, engaging with sinners and the marginalized. By displaying meekness, Christians reflect the love and character of Christ, enhancing their witness and adorning the doctrine of God our Savior. Such a disposition can bring about opportunities for sharing the gospel with those who may be resistant to harshness or judgment.
