They falsely called Jesus a blasphemer, a drunkard, a radical. They accused Him of heresy. But was Christ ever accused of abusing His authority, of arrogance, of using His heavenly position for personal gain? Was He ever accused of being unapproachable? Instead He gave much and healed many and then even gave His very life for all of mankind.

We are to have the mind of Christ, to follow in His steps (Philippians 2:5; 1 John 2:6). “Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous” (1 Peter 3:8). No matter how hard it may be, we must all strive to be like Christ in our daily dealings with one another.
