===Quote===
“[[Pentecost]] endowed [[mortal]] man with the power to [[forgive]] personal injuries, to keep sweet in the midst of the gravest [[injustice]], to remain unmoved in the face of appalling [[danger]], and to challenge the evils of [[hate]] and [[anger]] by the fearless [[acts]] of [[love]] and forbearance.” ([[194:3|194:3.2]])]
===Lesson===
Teacher Uteah: “You are powerful, indeed! However, when you look at the state of affairs on [[your world]], it is evident that the powers made available to [[humanity]] at [[Pentecost]] have not been claimed to their full measure. Instead of forgiving personal injustices inflicted upon them out of [[ignorance]], many select to file [[grievances]] and broadcast their [[hostility]] against their wrongdoers, thus adding to the accumulation of unprocessed [[hate]] and anger.

“How far removed such [[behaviors]] are from the seemingly effortless [[self-mastery]] modeled by [[Jesus]] amidst similar [[challenges]]. He forgave on the spot, remained loving and [[compassionate]] amid the ruthless [[defamation]] of His [[character]]—quite a disarming [[response]] to those who were hoping to snare Him and find Him at fault. Far from condoning these reprehensible behaviors by responding in kind, He deflected their iniquitous [[power]] by [[steadfastly]] exuding [[love]] and [[forbearance]].

“The [[spiritual gifts]] of [[Pentecost]] are here to stay. If you have not done it yet, activate these inner powers, and they will significantly upgrade the [[quality]] of your life. By withdrawing yourself from the [[dissonant]] [[dance]] of hate and anger, you can [[improvise]] harmonious [[choreographies]] in sync with the tempo of love and forbearance set by Jesus.

“Each one of you gets to [[feel]] the sting of personal injuries and the [[sorrow]] of being mistreated and misunderstood. Why not envision yourself as a superhero and activate your not-so-secret but much-overlooked superpowers? Indeed, these powers were [[bestowed]] from On High to act as [[bridges]] between your human and [[superhuman]] nature.

“Just as you [[become]] proficient at beating the many challenging levels of your video games, by constant [[practice]] and sheer [[perseverance]], you will as well bring the bad guys to their knees—the rebellious [[inclinations]] of your persona, and emerge as a knight in shining armor—an [[armor]] of [[light]]. Thus doing, you will help instigate a [[revolution]] of the [[hearts]]. Walk away from what is harmful to your spiritual welfare and [[embrace]] the enduring [[values]] [[manifested]] in Jesus’ exemplary life.”
