Jesus is a gentleman.

Often (if not most of the time) I blog about when Jesus challenges me or brings me to examine something in my life or heart. (like David's prayer "examine my heart O Lord") 

Today though I'd like to share something short and simple: Jesus is a gentleman.

In John 4, Jesus crosses paths  with a Samaritan woman 

at a well and they begin discussing what 

is generally discussed at a well: WATER.

During the course of the conversation 

of living water(thirst quenching)

 vs. tap water(temporary fullfillment),

Jesus tells the woman "Go, call your husband and come back"  (verse 16)

Jesus knew that she didn't have a husband, that in fact she was a woman who had had several husbands and was currently sleeping with a man whom she wasn't married to. Jesus knew this and yet He was still being a gentleman. He could have called her out right then & there, but true to his character and His nature, He waited for her to tell Him that she didn't have a husband.

It can be easy to forget how compassionate,

kind, thoughtful and gentle God is

during the course of the daily walk; it's much

easier to see how He challenges, stretches and prunes us.

so here's a reminder for today: Jesus is a gentleman.

how are YOU going to show that side of Jesus to people around you today?
