Jesus’ gentleness and kindness are not indicators of weakness. He is showing us the new revelation of His Father. He is showing us a God of unconditional love who is not out to bash us to show His strength. There is nothing more revealing about God than Jesus. We too are to reveal our Father. Our un-Christlike representations of God through our statements and actions must go. When we are hostile and unkind, we are revealing our own self, we are not letting the Spirit shape us to be those who reveal the Father the way He really is.
Jesus said, “If you have seen me, you have seen the Father” (John 14:9).
