This subject is critical because the Bible highlights the “full” character of Jesus. We have seen His compassion, His tenderness and His wonderful humility! That is Jesus the Lamb of God (Rev 5:6)! However, we also need to see the ‘goodness’ in Jesus “Lion” side. Correction without rejection is part of Jesus, “the Lion of […]
Let’s compare the 6 posts from October. Peter’s screw-ups, failures and even his sins reveal Jesus’ consistent patience and instruction. When we see Jesus’ goodness towards Peter’s sin, this gives us confidence to press into God (verses running from God) when we fail or sin.

At the end of the month I combine (or “roll up”) all the character elements of Jesus that we have looked at through the last month. Here is this month’s “Roll Up”.
Here is a more detailed linking of Jesus life before He was human through His incarnation (Philippians 2), through His life, through the Cross and back to Heaven to be by the Father’s side until the End of the Age.
Every month, I will provide a quick “Roll Up” of the previous 8 Characteristics of Jesus to help us keep His entire character in balance. “Wholeness is critical in a world culture that seems horribly “polarized” or warped. I will contrast His meekness and tenderness with His fierceness and clean anger and fill in the middle […]
