Because of Christ’s gentleness (kindness and tenderness) He yielded to death–death on a cross– for our gain. We are commanded to reflect (show) that same gentleness to others. Not only show it, but also to pursue it (chase after it) and to clothe yourself in it (put it on, like a garment). As it says in Philippians 4:5, “Let your gentleness be evident (clearly seen) to all”.
