"Gentle Jesus meek and mild,Look upon a little child ......"
Well. The compassion of Jesus for children, women and gentiles - all regarded as 'lower in the pecking order' than Jewish men - is certainly there to be found in the Gospels and easily!
However, this picture is not entirely accurate. Let us consider the disciples. Note how often this bunch of losers gets a tongue-lashing from Jesus for incompetence, wanton stupidity and lack of faith.
'Meek and mild' when he trashed the tables of the moneychangers in The Temple?
To understand Jesus properly takes study!
