A lot of truth is in your post on humility.
However, one’s assumptions therefrom can go more than a little askew.
Certainly the Biblical exhortations are wonderful and true.
Too often humility and graciousness are equated with
wimpy passive softness, gentleness at all costs on all occasions in every context.
I disagree with those assumptions.
People often assume that becoming MORE LIKE JESUS
means becoming MORE MEEK, MILD, PASSIVE—OR AT LEAST NEVER VERY ASSERTIVE, GENTLE-AT-AT-ALL-COSTS, etc. etc.
However, MY JESUS IS ALSO
THE LION OF JUDAH.
Agreed.However,there is more.
From Father Paul A. Duffner...
Consequently, while anger when aroused in fallen nature is most often blameworthy, we see that it can be praiseworthy and just, when meekness directs it according to the dictates of justice and charity. We are speaking of anger that tries to destroy sin, without wishing to destroy the sinner. "Be angry and sin not" (Eph. 4:26; Ps. 4:5). Even in just anger, however, one must be careful not to sin by excess. St. Bernard reminds us that there are two extremes one must avoid in this matter: "It is a sin not to be angry when one should be angry; but to be angry more than is necessary is equally sinful." Fr. Walter Farrell, O.P. speaks in similar language: "There are times when our failure to be angry is a weakness, when we hold back the punishment because our love is not strong enough to be just." (Comp. to Summa, p. 457).
Truly, Jesus was particularly harsh with the outwardly religious (Matt 23) for their hypocrisy.
