This is who Jesus is…
Jesus was Compassionate
Jesus took the time to actually notice that people were
Hurting and His compassion drove Him to help them.
Matthew 9:36 - When he saw the crowds, he had compassion
on them, because they were harassed and helpless,
like sheep without a shepherd.
Jesus was Loving
Jesus claimed that there is no greater love than to
die for one of your friends, and He did just that.
If anyone doubts His love,
all they have to do is look upon the cross and
see the agony that He bore for our sake.
Jesus was Humble
Jesus didn’t put on humility to just accomplish His task
on earth, but humility is part of His eternal nature.
Matthew 11:29 – Take my yoke upon you,and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart
and you will find rest for your souls.
Jesus was Forgiving
Even while bleeding and experiencing pain,
Jesus had His heart set on forgiveness.
Luke 23:34 - Father, forgive them, f
or they know not what they do.
Jesus was Prayerful
No matter how busy His ministry got,
He found time to be alone and pray.
Whether it is in the
across a river, or on a mountaintop,
Jesus disappeared for a while in
order to pray to the Lord.
Jesus was Gentle
There were certainly times where Jesus
used stern words, but He knew
when gentleness was appropriate.
When speaking with His disciples, mother,
or other ladies, He was very
kind-hearted and gentle.
Jesus was Patient
He was surrounded by disciples who constantly doubted him,
Pharisees and Sadducees who continually attacked Him,
and large crowds who wouldn’t leave Him alone.
Despite all of that, He kept His composure and
responded appropriately to every individual.
Jesus had Self-Control
Before His ministry was launched, Jesus spent time
being tempted by the Devil in the wilderness.
Although He was offered food, power, and many other things,
Jesus controlled His desires and submitted them
all to the will of the Father.
