Which of the titles do you find most meaningful in describing Jesus? Why?
Are there qualities described that reflect important values in your life (for example: honesty; thoughtful; artistic; forgiving; listener; dependable)?
As we have been exploring our ideas of who Jesus is, we have also been sharing with one another who we are.

Hey Pastor Scott its Nick
ReplyDeleteHi it's catherine
ReplyDeleteI think that when yopu describe jesus guider is the most meaningful word. I think of jesus always guideing us on our journey.
Most meaningful to me is "offers life for others" by Jesus always being there for you. Able to feel his presence in your life if you are following him. As a disciple and using the values like you have listed in your life - Jesus is offering life to you and then you can offer life to others as Jesus offers life to everyone.
ReplyDeleteI think that thephrase," cares for EVERYONE" means a lot to me. I hear people all the time saying that they dont believe in god because they dont think he'll have time, or they did something wrong. But, if they knew that they'd probably change their opinions.

I have a question that you said that you would answer in class but you forgot so this is my question. Why are we called disciples of jesus and not disciples if god?
