Jesus’ feet looked “like fine copper when glowing in a furnace.” ( Revelation 1: 15 ) Also, his face was “like the sun when it shines at its brightest.” ( Revelation 1: 16 ) Since no race has skin color matching these descriptions, this vision must be symbolic, showing the resurrected Jesus as the one “who dwells in unapproachable ...

(Numbers 15:38-40; Matthew 23:5-7) Unlike them, Jesus instructed his apostles not to “lord it over” others. (Luke 22:25, 26) In fact, Jesus warned: “Beware of the scribes who want to walk around in robes and want greetings in the marketplaces.” —Mark 12:38. By contrast, Jesus blended in with the crowd, unrecognized on occasion.

Learn about God through the life of Jesus. Since Jesus perfectly reflected the personality of his Father, Jehovah God, he could rightly say: “Whoever has seen me has seen the Father also.” —John 14:9. Live in a way that pleases God, and see how he acts in your behalf. Jesus said: “Happy are the pure in heart, since they will see God.”

(Provérbios 24:29) Um seguidor de Jesus ofereceria a outra face no sentido de não deixar que os outros o levassem a uma “confrontação”. — Gálatas 5:26, nota. O que dizer da autodefesa? Jesus não estava dizendo que dar a outra face significa que um cristão não pode se defender de agressores violentos.

If such thoughts have crossed your mind, this discussion of Jesus’ words, as recorded in our theme text, should prove to be most helpful. Jesus told his disciples: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Exercise faith.” Strong faith will help us to face the future with confidence. 2.

18 The second factor that enabled Jesus to endure is that he looked ahead, beyond the suffering to what lay before him. Of Jesus, the Bible says: “For the joy that was set before him he endured a torture stake.” (Hebrews 12:2) Jesus’ example illustrates how hope, joy, and endurance work together. This might be summed up as follows: Hope ...

More important, he heard Jesus’ marvelous and hope-filled message about the Kingdom of God. Still, he tore himself away and returned to his fishing business.
