Kindness

Continuing in our series on the Fruit of the Spirit we examine the trait of kindness. The difficulty we experience with this trait is that we struggle to show kindness when we are looking out for our own interests. Selfishness reveals itself as the enemy of kindness. Jesus demonstrates kindness in the story of the woman caught in adultery. Here we see Jesus pause, invite, ask perceptive questions and instruct his audience in the way of kindness and righteousness. We can demonstrate the kindness of Jesus when we're secure in God's kindness to us.
