Ep 120 - The Character of Jesus
How do you describe the character of Jesus? Are you able to do it at all? Does He feel like someone you know? Or someone you've heard about? If you are a follower of His, you should be able to describe His character. Conversely, if you are an ardent opposer of His, you should also be able to describe His character - your perception of it.
Here are a just a few of the things I know, love and appreciate about Jesus's character:
~ He's a story-teller - he uses parables to help explain difficult concepts. One of my favorites is the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30)
~ He has faith and He encourages us to have faith - Luke 11:9-10, Matthew 21:21-22, Mark 11:22-26, Matthew 8:23-27, Mark 4:35-41, Luke 8:22-25, Matthew 14:22-36
~ He has so much humility - this is shown when He washes the disciples' feet (John 13:1-17)
~ He has so much compassion - whether dealing with the adulterous woman, the Samaritan woman, sinners, tax collectors, lepers, He didn't shy away or reject them (Matthew 9:18-26, Luke 17:11-19, John 4:1-26, John 8:1-11, John 11:1-44)
~ His strength - especially in the face of adversity, rejection, temptation, evil, or betrayal (Matthew 4:1-11, Luke 4:1-13, Matthew 10:11-16, Matthew 21:12-13)
~ His creative solutions - paying taxes, feeding the masses (Matthew 17:24-27, Matthew 22:15-22, Mark 12:13-17)
~ He was purpose-filled and never wavered from His purpose - even all the way to the cross
My sisters also mentioned His compassion, His humanity, and the way that He showed us how to operate in the Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23)
