If we want to grow to be more like Jesus, we need to understand Him. We should know what set Him apart from other leaders. We need to grasp what motivated Him. We need to witness the ways He responded to people around Him. We ought to immerse ourselves in His parables. This requires that we become students of the New Testament. But we also need to ...
Jesus summed up the entire Old Testament law in two commandments: love God and love others. But He doesn’t just say that we need to love God; He tells us to love God with our heart, soul, mind, and strength. We need to love God with all that we are. We can see an excellent example of this in the temptations of Jesus. Over and over, the devil tempts...
When you pay close attention to Jesus’ behavior, it’s hard to miss how much He loved people. But that’s not because He’s constantly telling everyone He loves them. You recognize it in His behavior.

He so often communicated His need to do God’s will: 1. “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work” (John 4:34). 2. “By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me” (John ...
