This text looks at the spiritual value of patience.  It shows how being impatient can make people miss out on great opportunities.  For example, the creator of Jell-O sold his invention way too early.  Patience is something we need every single day, not just on Sundays.  It requires believers to go through hard times and accept other people’s flaws without trying to get revenge.  By looking at the Ten Commandments, the text suggests that impatience is actually at the root of almost every human sin and rebellion against God’s timing.  Ultimately, the passage highlights how God sets the perfect example of patience by holding back judgment so that people have time to change and grow.  Developing this “fruit of the spirit” is a necessary journey. It is a process that requires people to rely on the Holy Spirit instead of just trying harder on their own.  In the end, following God’s example of gentleness and patience is the best way to keep a community united and successfully share your faith.
