What Did Jesus Do?

The Bible also highlights statements Jesus made that stood out as being different from what many people were saying—including the religious leaders of the day (the Pharisees and Sadducees). His statements were radical and thought provoking and often revealed the hypocrisy in the heart of mankind. Jesus never contradicted the Old Testament Scriptures or the Law. Rather, He confirmed them. But He also added clarity to their depth. When He was in the temple at age twelve, He quoted the Old Testament and showed how the scriptures pointed to Himself.

 

The New Testament reveals that Jesus spoke in a way that was different from the average man, or even from any man or woman that has ever lived. He often about higher love, true love, sacrificial love and showed mankind what that meant by dying on the cross to save mankind, to save all who would choose to accept His gift of salvation.

 

Jesus studied the Old Testament scriptures and read from them in the Temple when He was only twelve years old. He preached and taught and referred often to Old Testament content, explaining it in the context of his own life and His Heavenly Father’s.

According to the Bible, Jesus prayed a lot. He taught people how to pray. He fed the hungry and healed the sick. He answered many questions that people asked, but sometimes, when the questions seemed to be tricks coming from hearts of people who wanted to see his downfall, He either didn’t answer or He answered by posing a question to them.

 

The New Testament component of the Bible teaches that Jesus was obedient to His parents. He grew in favor with men and with God.

 

The Bible shows that Jesus loved people and that He told them about his Father in Heaven. The New Testament Bible also tells us that He held children in his arms and told people how special children are.

 

According to the Bible, Jesus claimed to be God’s Son. He rose from the dead after He was tortured and crucified. He appeared to over 500 people after His death.

Did Jesus express compassion?

According to the New Testament Bible, Jesus expressed compassion frequently. He expressed compassion wherever He went. He healed out of compassion. 

In the New Testament Gospel of John, chapter 11, the Bible records is the shortest verse in the Bible, “Jesus wept.” This story is the record of when one of Jesus’s closest friends, Lazarus. Jesus showed compassion for Lazarus’s family; He resurrected Lazarus (see the Gospel of John, chapter 11).

According to the New Testament Gospel of John chapter 8, when some Jewish leaders wanted to stone to death an adulterous woman, Jesus, shoed love to her and said,  “ I do not condemn you, go and sin no more”.

Jesus was divine compassion incarnate (in human form). He was filled with compassion. He was overflowing with compassion. In His human form, He knew what it was like to suffer and He had compassion for mankind. In His divine form, He knew what it was like to suffer since God knows everything. And God is love therefore He is also compassion. Jesus and God are one so Jesus is the very expression of God’s compassion.

Jesus showed the greatest compassion by dying for mankind on the cross. He died to pay for the sins of mankind.
