Quiet Time Notes

The Poise of Jesus

The average man is one-sided, unsymmetrical and unevenly developed

Strong in some characteristics and weak in others

Jesus - we find ourselves in the presence of a man without flaw

• Emotional but not hyterical
• Imaginative but not flighty
• Practical but not dull
• Couragous but not reckless
• Enuthusiastic but not fanatical
• Prudent but not a coward
• Unique but not eccentric
• Sympathetic but not sentimental
• Religous but into superstition

Jesus is so well rounded on every side, men have never known where to classify him

Men laid their traps to catch him but he walked bravely among them

Even after all the attempts from this enemies to trip him up, the devil tried his friends
"Get behind me, Satan", he said to Peter
