The most powerful examples of meekness in the crucible come from Jesus. When He said to come and “learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart” (Matthew 11:29), He meant it in ways we probably can’t imagine. Read 1 Peter 2:18-25.

Read Exodus 32:1-14. What role do we find Moses playing here?

Sabbath School Net Posted on by avatar

Oswald Chambers has said that we are to become “broken bread and poured-out wine” for others. What do you think he means by this?
