“But He answered him not one word, so that the governor marvelled greatly.” Matthew 27:14. One of the best things we can learn from Jesus is the art of being patient and not reacting. The crucial word here is ‘react’. We tend to react to everything but sadly we do not know the best way to react. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction! We want to react to something someone had said immediately and this often leads to arguments and quarrels. If only we did not react but kept quiet like Jesus then things would calm down and this would give everyone the chance to reassess the situation. If only we have had just a little bit of time to calm down we would react in a better way even if it means keeping quiet without saying one word. We are so quick to react, we want to correct the other person and we want to justify our actions quickly. But let us not react – let us learn to take a step back, tighten our lips and be like Jesus! Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, teach me to be like You. Amen! RC
