 But the demeanor in which we carry ourselves and the way in which we express this gospel should be as though we desire for those people in Samaria who are other than us to place their faith and trust in Christ. That should be our aim, our goal, our desire, our ambition. It wasn't the case for these disciples. They were brash, right? Proverbs 15.1 says, A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
