Something extraordinary had transpired in my inner being. I had not lost my temper nor had I desired to do so.
This is what happened to James and John at Pentecost. They had been known as the “Sons of Thunder.” The Holy Spirit later enabled James to become the first martyr and John became known as the “Beloved Disciple.”
“Lord, how many times can my brother sin against me and I have to forgive him? Seven times?” Jesus replied, “No, not seven times but seventy times seven” (Matt. 18:21,22 GN). The deeper our love for Jesus, the easier it is to make His grace of forgiveness an essential.
home I laid claim to a promise that Jesus had made that the Holy Spirit would make me adequate. The Lord had declared, “Do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say; for what you are to say will be given you in that hour; for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you” (Matt. 10:19,20 RSV).
