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 kind of attributes did Jesus express?

The New Testament Bible (and the Old Testament which prophesies of Jesus) depicts many attributes which Jesus expressed. They are too numerous to include in a brief answer. The best way to learn of His attributes is to read the New Testament Bible.

Here are some of Jesus’ attributes we find in the Bible:

Jesus was the Son of God and the Son of man.

As such, Jesus possessed the following attributes:

Love, compassion, humility, patience, longsuffering, mercy and mercifulness, graciousness, gentleness, meekness, kindness, holiness, perfection, prayerfulness, submission, obedience, divine anger, joy, peace, sensitivity to others, the ability to read into people thoughts and hearts, spiritual strength,

Jesus' attributes are seen in His nature. According to the New Testament Bible, Jesus’s nature was perfect and sinless. He was a person of impeccable (true and perfect) character. But He did have a character. He did not lack the attributes of human nature. He simply lacked sin. Jesus expressed emotions like anyone else, but in the right way. In the New Testament Gospel of John, chapter 11, the Bible records “Jesus wept.” This is the shortest verse in the Bible and shows that Jesus clearly had feelings.

Jesus’ nature expressed love, grace, mercy, compassion, kindness, goodness, understanding, righteous just and anger (i.e. He was angry at injustice, hypocrisy, unrighteousness etc.).  Jesus reflected the nature of His father. 

According to I John 4:8 in the New Testament God is Love. Since Jesus was one with God the Father, He too was love and His nature expresses love. 

Jesus’ nature was divine inasmuch as He was one with His heavenly Father and was God’s son.  

Jesus did not have a sin nature. Click here to read an article explaining that Jesus did not have a sin nature.
