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.

What is Jesus famous for?

History reveals that Jesus is famous for many things. First, He performed miracles that could not be explained or dismissed in human terms. Some of His miracles included: healing people, turning water into wine, multiplying loaves and fishes, walking on water, seeing into a person’s past and future, bringing people back from the dead and being resurrected. 

Jesus is also famous for His Words or His Word as found in the Bible. His sayings were radical and often offended those who were self-righteous. Other sayings were mysterious such as, “Let he who has ears, hear.” His philosophy was often radically different than man’s religion or human philosophy. For example, He stated that to have life, one must lose one’s life.” In the Gospel of John, Jesus claimed to be “the resurrection and the life  (John 11:35, NKJV). Such sayings are extraordinary and make Him well-known. 

Jesus is famous for His compassion. He healed people out of compassion. He wept over the city of Jerusalem with compassion. 

Jesus is especially famous for dying on the cross for the sins of mankind and then resurrecting. Over 500 people saw Jesus in His resurrected form as recorded in many historic narrations and chronicles. Many skeptics and incredulous people also saw Jesus alive from the dead.

Paul the Apostle describes Jesus as being risen from the dead. Read that story here.

Jesus is famous for forgiving wrongdoing or sin. He is famous for having the power to forgive and the unique Son of God, and for choosing to forgive out of love for mankind. He is famous for being the way in which mankind can receive forgiveness since He died in the place of sinners (all mankind). 

Jesus is also famous for being the Messiah, the one who was expected and spoken of in the Old Testament Bible, the Jewish scriptures or writings. His life and death were prophesied as were the hardships He bore for mankind.

Jesus death on the cross—for which He was famous—can be seen prophesied in Psalm 22 is one example. Here is another, found in Isaiah 53; verses 3, 4 and 5:

“Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief, and we hid, as it were, our faces from Him, He was despised and we did not esteem Him.

Surely He has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted,

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement for our peace was upon Him,

And by His stripes we are healed” (NKJV).
