Jesus’ greatest demand was to repent, “unless you repent you will all likewise perish.” (Luke 13:3). Jesus said that “repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” (Luke 24:46-47).
“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.
Seeking to reflect Christ’s example in our own lives, but let’s face it, Jesus had a very different ministry than any of us; making direct parallels is going to be difficult. For instance, what would Jesus do for a paralytic man in need of healing? He would forgive his sins (that would be blasphemy coming from me). What would Jesus do to repeal an evil curse responsible for everything wrong in this world? Well, for starters He would die for it. He is going to overturn tables and money changers, drive out merchants and make bold accusations. Jesus came to deliver divine law, satisfy the demands of justice and fulfill righteousness – these are the kind of things that Jesus would do.
God never stops working for our good — no matter how much time goes by. If we have faith that God holds our eternity, we can have faith that He holds our everyday.
When things don’t go as we plan, hope for, or pray for, we can rest in the assurance of knowing God’s promises never fail us. We watch in hope for the Lord, waiting for our Savior, knowing He will hear us (Micah 7:7).
Very well. Jesus modeled intentional actions in His relationships with people. He gave the disciples hands-on experience in learning to care for others. He didn’t just have them sit back and watch Him meet peoples needs – he got them actively involved in ministering to the people around them.
Jesus the supreme son of God wants us to follow him and not worry too much. God provides for the sparrow and He clothes the lilies in a beauty unmatched by even Solomon in all his glory – How much more does your Father in heaven care for you? The rest of the passage in Matthew 6:31-34 says, “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ …For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”
We humans just can't deal with the fact that the world is random and certain things are beyond our control. So our brains try and tell us to believe its all connected to some higher power
But what would life be like if we could have face to face conversations with God and get to know his opinions on how things should be run in the society?🤔
Jesus taught to and modeled for his disciples, fully expecting them to reach the point that they could make disciples independently. Disciples will always be dependent on God, that is why Jesus sent the Holy Spirit when he left them. But Jesus led his disciples to become spiritually mature disciples who were able to make more disciples. And we are disciples today because it worked.
The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, Rev 1:1
If we are tempted to skirt the truth, we can see Jesus’ example in the Gospels that He always told the truth (see John 8:45). His actions in the past guide us today. Scripture must be what informs us. The idea must be properly grounded in a familiarity with Scripture.
We are to follow Jesus and seek to emulate Him. But asking, “What would Jesus do?” is not a standalone method of decision-making. We must also study the Word and seek God’s wisdom in prayer.

Difficult?
It would be bloody impossible ❗❗❗
His perception of time, space and reality would be different from all of us. Because he came to earth as a human, but had all the power of God.
I said this once in a conversation with a friend of mine.
His perception of everything would be way too different to compare with us.
I mean we see the universe as big or almost unquantifiable. What if he sees it as a tiny part of a potential multiverse?
Heck. What if he saw the multiverse as something small in comparison to something else
I've had so many conversations like this
I think this has been on everyone's mind for quite some time
I don't really believe, but I have pondered on the possibility of it
So it would be illogical to compare the decision making skills of a regular human to someone who wields such immense power and knowledge
Yeah
Yes. This is true
But he is compassionate and empathetic enough to relate with our everyday problems
The perfect one.
He's ever perfect😇
Duhhh😂
How so?
1 Corinthians 2:16,
“For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
John 16:33,
I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world
1 Peter 2:21,
For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps.

Yes 🙌🔥
Exactly. He would focus on the big picture. All of these are inconsequential in the grand scheme of things to him
I think the important thing is to try and emulate the characteristics he portrayed while he was on earth.
Not be an exact copy of him but rather to strive to be like him
Because obviously no two normal humans are the same. So how would we expect to be the same as the perfect human?

👍
Yes. This is very true. He was always active in the lives of people.
Most people just feel he's this big guy upstairs that doesn't like to meddle in the lives of us lowly mortals. But that's very far from the truth

Preach on my brother 🙌🔥🔥
Amen to that✔
🙌🔥

I personally find comfort in knowing there's someone up there watching over me and keeping me safe.
“Blessed is she who believes that the Lord will fulfill His promises to her!” (Luke 1:45).
👍
Do we have any data?
Have any experiments been conducted to prove these claims?
You don't need any of that. You just need to believe
So how do you guys know he's real?
I assume you're either an atheist or you're currently experiencing a crisis of faith. Either way, peace be unto you my brother ❤
There isn't any real scientific evidence to prove God exists for the now
It's a little thing called faith bud🤗
But what would life be like if we could have face to face conversations with God and get to know his opinions on how things should be run in the society?🤔
It would be interesting
I don't really think our silly human matters would matter to God. He'd be busy doing God stuff yunno?😂
Actually he does care about what happens in our everyday lives. A little more than you think😌
👍

Becoming God-centered in motivation.
moving from self-centered to others-centered.
Also having the desire to serve and lead.
