TOLERANCE
2
Tolerance is the ability to endure pain or hardship.
It means endurance. CHRIST exhibited tolerance because he obeyed his Father GOD
when sent to the world. GOD’s love toward mankind is unfathomable. He that
loves will tolerate, he that doesn’t love will not tolerate. Romans 5 vs. 8: But GOD commendeth his love
towards us in that while we were yet sinners, CHRIST died for us. We were tolerated
despites our sins and iniquity, CHRIST died for us. We were tolerated despite
our sins and iniquity, CHRIST died for us. If CHRIST could tolerate us then we
ought to tolerate others. CHRIST endured a lot just for our sake. Isaiah 53 vs. 5-7: But he was wounded for
our transgressions he was bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement of our
peace was upon him and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray we have turned everyone to his own
way and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and
he was afflicted yet he opened not his mouth; he is brought as a lamb to the
slaughter and as a sheep before her shearers in dumb, so he openeth not his
mouth.
Moreover, we should look at CHRIST as our role model. He should be the
author of our faith. If CHRIST is your role model and the Author and finisher
of your faith, then you will tolerate others. Hebrews 12 vs. 2: Looking unto JESUS the author and finisher of our
faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross despising the
shame and is set down at the right hand of the throne of GOD. He did these
because He is love. No wonder the bible says in 1 Corinthians 13 vs. 7: Beareth all things believeth all things,
hopeth all things, endureth all things. GOD’s tolerance shouldn’t be taken
for granted. Romans 9 vs. 22: Does not
GOD have a perfect right to show his fury and power against those who are fit
only for destruction, those he has been patient with for all this time? A
word is enough for the wise. Tolerate others today as GOD did, and don’t take
his tolerance for granted. Kindly, share with others. It is well with us.
