Christ's Unlimited Patience

"But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display His unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on Him and receive eternal life." (1 Timothy 1:16 NIV)

Post Comment: Looking back, Paul realized the great patience Jesus had shown him. Why did Jesus display His unlimited patience? Why should you show patience in your daily life?

Jesus knew Paul. He knew that Paul would grow into a man of great faith. God had a plan for Paul's life. Therefore Paul was the recipient of Jesus’ great patience. Jesus exhibited patience in many situations. He is an example of the character that all who believe in Him should develop and value in their lives. That speaks directly to me. I need to allow the Holy Spirit to produce patience in my heart so I can live and humbly be an example to others the way God wants me to be.
