When to Be Bold and When to Be Gentle
Description
How do we reconcile Jesus calling the Pharisees a brood of vipers with 1 Peter 3:15, which says we should show gentleness and respect when defending the faith?
Greg Koukl and Amy Hall explain that Christians must develop wisdom to know when firm correction is appropriate and when gentleness is required. They emphasize that believers receive clearer and more frequent instruction from passages like 1 Peter than from descriptive examples of Jesus’ rebukes. Since Jesus also functioned as a judge, Christians should exercise humility and caution when applying his example to their own conversations.
