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.
