i was flipping through the bible today (something i definitely don't do enough) and ran into ephesians 4. it talks about being completely humble and letting go of any bitterness and malicious thoughts.
my mind wandered to whether or not jesus ever felt bitter. as a perfect being coming into a world full of some pretty bad people, how easy it would be to feel bitter and jaded at creation - meant for the light, but so often in the darkness. and yet i don't think jesus was very bitter at all. he may have been angry, he may have been chastising, but probably more than anything he was loving and he believed, by and large, in humanity - why else give everyone a chance to go to heaven?
now isn't that something? what another interesting shade of his perfect goodness and divinity.
