Patient waiting upon God was a special characteristic of our Lord
Jesus. Impatience never lingered in His heart, much less escaped His
lips. All through His agony in the Garden, His trial of cruel
mockings before Herod and Pilate, and His passion on the tree, He
waited in omnipotence of patience. No glance of wrath,
no word of murmurings no deed of vengeance came from God’s patient
Lamb; He waited and waited on; was patient, and patient to
perfection, far excelling all others who have according to their
measure glorified God in the fires. Job on the dunghill does not
equal Jesus on the cross. The Christ of God wars the imperial crown
among the patient. Did the Only Begotten wait, and shall we be
petulant and rebellious?</span></span></font></font></font></p>

Moses’ triumphant hymn o’er Miriam’s chivalry can for a moment
