Let’s continue our theme to deeply internalize Jesus’ protection. Consider the time where Jesus eats dinner at Simon the Leper’s house with Lazarus, Mary and Martha. Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead sometime before this visit. (This visit is different from the one where Mary is sitting at Jesus’ feet while Martha is working.) In […]
This week let’s continue in our theme of Jesus’ protection. Think through the 4 Gospels and search for events in Jesus’ life where He protects someone. Cultivating this desire to come to the Word to search for Him causes our faith to burn brightly with joy and understanding. This habit of “looking for Jesus’ goodness” may […]
I would like to start the next mini-series on a character element of Jesus that I missed for the first 20 years of my Christian life. As you live life, pray and read your Bibles over the next couple months look for Jesus’ protection. Fascinatingly it starts showing up everywhere. And I find that it really […]
Let’s look at the flip side of Jesus intensity or fierceness in 3 or 4 different events. Surprisingly you will find His protection under the surface!
This subject is critical because the Bible highlights the “full” character of Jesus. We have seen His compassion, His tenderness and His wonderful humility! That is Jesus the Lamb of God (Rev 5:6)! However, we also need to see the ‘goodness’ in Jesus “Lion” side. Correction without rejection is part of Jesus, “the Lion of […]
Here is a list of many times that Peter fails or outright sins. Notice how Jesus is patient, instructs, correct and even disciplines Peter but Jesus never rejects Peter! This is how Jesus relates to anyone who has responded to Him!
July Roll Up: This month we looked at Jesus’ desire for us but also contrasted that with Jesus’ power and strength. We also looked at His protection and patience.
I have tried to create a mini-Library for people who are hungry to explore Jesus’ good character. See the new website at http://GodIsJustLikeJesus.com
One more passage might be worth thinking about as we are considering Jesus’ desire. After Jesus eats the Passover meal with His disciples and friends, they all go out to Gethsemane. Jesus has most of the disciples (there were probably others besides the 12) sit while He went aside to pray. He does take Peter, […]
Luke 24:28 is a fascinating passage! Jesus has overcome death. And now He starts appearing to people. For various reasons He wants people to start knowing Him, not based on His physical appearance, but based on who He is! Two disciples are walking on the road going to Emmaus, which is about 7 miles from […]
