May 15, 2007 Was Jesus trying to incite his death (eg. temple cleansing, accusation of leaders?)
No
since it was prophesized in the old testament and we all know that what ever word has been prophesized will come to pass.So jesus who who was from his father deffinetly Knew what was going to happen to him. he was not trying to initiate but was only telling the truth about what was going to happen. it so happend that his death came about in oder to fufill the scriptuers. isaah says he was weeped for our transgretion and that by his wounds we are healed. so its just what God had planed to rescuer man from his bondage. He friquently talked about his death in oder to let people see what was happening unfortunatly they had ears but could not here.
April 20, 2007 Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?
yes he does. he loves everyone the some. God created all humans in his own likeness and therefore all humans wether rich, poor blind, lame, crippled are the some in the eyes of God. He came into the word to save the hopeless and to bring back that which was lost.
Compassionate is this deep feeling we have for others which would definitely make us put ourselfs in other peoples boots and would make us do things the way we want others to do for us.
