Let us see to it
that we bear the reproaches of Christ as He bore them—with pity and
prayer for the erring and depraved, if perchance God may grant them
repentance; and with humble fortitude esteeming it a privilege to
prove our devotion to the Lord by enduring hardness in His service
as good soldiers. He was not surprised by the exhibitions of human
depravity; He knew that He was in an unfriendly world bound by sin
and largely under the dominion of the prince of darkness, and
therefore He expected reproaches, taunts and persecutions, all of
which He endured patiently while His great loving heart, almost
unmindful of its own sufferings, was full of pity and loving concern
for others.
