In Him there was a serenity of disposition that nothing could trouble; He is the same when He is blamed as when He is praised, when He is insulted as when He is honored, when the people wish to stone Him as when they wish to make him king, when the crowd presses upon Him and hustles Him (Luke 8:45) as when He is alone in the desert or on the mountain.
What a beautiful example for us, above all for persons subject to bad temper who are the dishonor of devotion, angels in church, and disagreeable at home! Are we not of this number?
