Sunday, November 15

Husbands, continue loving your wives, just as the Christ also loved the congregation.—Eph. 5:25.

 

What can help a husband to overcome abusive and demeaning behavior? He can strive to imitate Jesus. The way he treated his disciples is a model for how a husband should treat his wife. Consider what husbands can learn from the way Jesus treated his apostles and from the way he spoke to them. Jesus treated his apostles in a kind and dignified way. He was never harsh or domineering. Jesus did not feel the need to prove his authority over them through displays of power. Instead, he humbly served them. (John 13:12-17) He told his disciples: “Learn from me, for I am mild-tempered and lowly in heart, and you will find refreshment for yourselves.” (Matt. 11:28-30) Note that Jesus was mild-tempered. A mild person is not weak. Rather, he has the inner strength to show restraint. When provoked, he remains calm and in control of his emotions. w25.01 10 ¶10-11

You can't walk with God while holding hands with the Devil.
