What are your impressions about Jesus as a person? Was He loving, kind, and gentle? Was He confrontational? Was He argumentative? Did He emphasize logic? Was He “intolerant” and “judgmental”? Or was He “politically correct” and unwilling to condemn views that differed with His own? Only the New Testament can provide an accurate portrait of what Jesus was really like. This first lesson observes how Jesus was loving, prayerful, and contemplative.
