Ok, I certainly I'm not going to even try put Jesus into a personality box, and I believe that He came to be all things to all people (even introverts), which motivated Paul to pursue the same (1 Corinthians 9:22-23). So I am not going to even try to claim the Son of God as the King of the Introverts. But the purpose of this blog is to free the introverts to see of the virtues of introversion, and some of those virtues were exhibited by Jesus. So I can think of no better person that can free the Introverted Soul than Jesus!
Here are ways Jesus exhibited the virtues of Introversion:
1. Energized by Solitude- 40 days in the wilderness, retreated from the crowds who clamoring for more, Luke describes him as often withdrawing himself from the multitudes
2. Internal Processing- sought alone time with God to process who were to be the 12 disciples, went to pray alone before the crucifixion, instructed us to pray privately
3. Depth over breadth- don't babble, Jesus spoke in parables which were often short and simple stories yet carried DEEP meaning
So there are some very Christ-like virtues that Introverts have! There are also some very extroverted qualities that are Christ-like, so I don't want to leave them out, BUT this a blog dedicated to introverted souls, so I can't help but be a little biased!
