OUR CHRISTIAN LIFE 2022, 17-23-October, Video, “Love is patient and kind”, Analysis and Answers.

 

“Love is patient and kind” (10 mins.): Analysis with the audience. Put the video. Then ask: 

How did Alexandru show patience and kindness in his role as head of the family?

Despite the fact that Sister Dorina acted in a bad way, when Brother Alexandru wanted to prepare or get ready to go out to preach, the brother never acted in the same way and the sister even tells us that she gave him household chores so that he keep busy. And so she did not prepare for her meetings, so the brother supported her and calmly asked her at the end if she needed help with anything else, with this the brother showed great patience and at the same time kindness towards his wife, well at no time did he act the same way even if she tried to do whatever it takes to stop studying. 

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

He showed a lot of patience because when his wife stopped studying the Bible we could say that he began to look for ways to stop him from studying, for example when he got ready to go preach and she got very upset and began to burden him with many household chores and asked him to help her with everything she had to do. 

Another way in which this brother proved to be kind, is that since he knew that his wife was annoyed that he devoted himself to spiritual activities, he calmly asked her if she could prepare for the meetings, she once got angry and told him that he couldn't get ready that he should help clean the house, he put up with all this patiently.

Also, as she herself says, he never paid her with the same coin. But rather at all times he acted calmly and even tried to understand why his wife acted that way, this of course sometimes discouraged him but she did not give up.

What made Dorina change her attitude? 

Well the fact that her husband kept reminding her how much he loved her and will not change his attitude towards her despite how badly she treated him. 

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

In addition, she was impressed by how kind he was and although he could well, even with good treatment, force or demand her to study the Bible, he never did.

The way in which brother Alexandru acted, that was what helped sister Dorina a lot to change her attitude, the displays of affection and always reminding her how much he loved her, little by little they changed the way of thinking of the sister, because she thought that because he was a man the brother might hit her or raise his voice or treat her badly when she did, but she says that never happened, brother Alexandro showed her the love he had for her by being patient and affectionate with her, that helped her to calm down over time and her attitude changed.

And what do we learn from this story?

Particularly those who have non-Christian spouses, this story encourages them to never give up, because with time and with a lot of patience, their spouse may accept the truth.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

We learn that if we are going through the same thing as brother Alexandru or maybe we are the only ones in a non-Christian family, only our love and patience that we have towards them despite the obstacles they try to put us for not studying the Bible, will greatly influence the concept that they have of us, whether it is our wife or husband or the members of our family. In 1 Corinthians chapter 13 and verse 4, Jehovah does not remember that love is patient and kind, if we love the people who are by our side we will be patient with them regardless of the attitude they take towards us.

We also learned that we should never see someone, be it our student or a close family member, as a lost cause, because true love as we have seen requires a lot of patience and not just applying it for a week, but months or even years.
