What the Bible says about Jesus Christ's Patience
(From Forerunner Commentary)

1 Peter 2:23

The Bible reveals God's patience as a quality of His character that deters Him for long periods from retaliating against those who sin against Him. This fits neatly with what Peter says regarding Christ's example. As a man, Christ did not strike back, but wisely and patiently left any retaliation due in the matter to God's judgment. This is also an example to us.

The Fruit of the Spirit: Patience

1 Peter 2:23

This is a clear example from the life of Jesus that some things must be left for God to take care of. Jesus did not strike out at these people. He turned the other cheek, kept His mouth shut, bit His tongue, and did not strike back.

What is God saying? God recognizes that life is often unfair. We must understand that life is unfair largely because of the way men have chosen to deal with problems. It is the Christian's responsibility to deal with problems the way God says to deal with them. Remember, Satan is still in the picture, and he will try to move us to deal with problems his way. That will not turn out to the good. Instead, it will continue or exacerbate the problems.
