START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) 1 Thessalonians 2:7
But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:
LIKE A MOTHER CARING FOR HER LITTLE CHILDREN / 1 THESSALONIANS 2:7
Paul and his associates offer an example of the spiritual attitude that all missionaries, evangelists and pastors should have as they preach Christ’s message.
- As missionaries (ones taking Christ’s message to people of other cultures, communities and lands), they had a mother’s gentle and caring attitude. They were willing to make great sacrifices, doing whatever was necessary to nurture, protect and meet the spiritual needs of God’s people and those whom they had led to faith in Christ.
- Their gentleness implies that they did not act like important or superior people. They were patient rather than harsh with people as they grew in their faith.
- The missionaries possessed such a deep love for the Thessalonians that they were willing to share their very lives with the people (1 Thessalonians 2:8).
- They devoted long hours, even to the point of extreme fatigue, in order to bring them Christ’s message, help them grow spiritually and establish effective ministry in their church (1 Thessalonians 2:9).
- They lived hold and blameless lives (lives of moral purity, spiritual integrity and devotion to God) so that sincere people could not accuse them of wrongdoing. They guided and encouraged the people as any good father would (1 Thessalonians 1:10-12).
