BIG IDEAS:
  • The Greek word translated as  "gentle" and "gentleness" is also translated "meek" and "humble". It describes a person who does not self-assert even when they have the right and power to do so. It describes being reserved in the use of power or force.
  • Biblical gentleness has a strong relationship with restoration and forgiveness, bearing one another's burdens, and keeping unity
  • Biblical gentleness may be seen and taken advantage of by the world, but God rewards that gentleness in abundance
