According to the New Testament Bible, Jesus was love incarnate (in human form). We see that Jesus expressed love to every sector of the human race. We see in the Gospels that Jesus was often with children and desired that they be loved and considered. In the New Testament Gospel of John, chapter 11, the Bible records “Jesus wept.” This is the shortest verse in the Bible and shows Jesus love for the people. When one of Jesus’s closest friends, Lazarus, died, Jesus showed compassion for Lazarus’s family; He resurrected Lazarus (see the Gospel of John, chapter 11). Jesus’s nature expressed love because He reflected the nature of His father. According to I John 4:8 in the New Testament God is Love. Since Jesus was one with God the Father, He too was love and His nature expresses love. According to the New Testament Gospel of John chapter 8, when some Jewish leaders wanted to stone to death an adulterous woman, Jesus, showed love to her and said, “ I do not condemn you, go and sin no more”.

 | Did Jesus teach others to pray? |
Yes, Jesus taught others to pray. In the New Testament. Click here to see Jesus teaching others to pray. And also here. Here is a prayer Jesus taught His disciples recorded in the Gospels in the New Testament: He said to them, "When you pray, say, 'Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come. May your will be done on Earth, as it is in heaven. Give us day by day our daily bread. Forgive us our sins. for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.'" And here is more that Jesus taught His disciples on prayer: He said to them, "Which of you, if you go to a friend at midnight, and tell him, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him,' and he from within will answer and say, 'Don't bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I can't get up and give it to you'? I tell you, although he will not rise and give it to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, he will get up and give him as many as he needs. "I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened. "Which of you fathers, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he won't give him a snake instead of a fish, will he? Or if he asks for an egg, he won't give him a scorpion, will he? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?" (Luke 11:1-13).

 | How often did Jesus pray? |
The New Testament Bible does not record precisely how many times Jesus prayed but in a sense He prayed all the time. He prayed every day. He probably prayed every moment within His heart since He chose to remain dependant on the Father. In the New Testament Gospels, we see Jesus praying often – day and night, and sometimes all through the night. He would pray everywhere He went. He spoke to His Father in prayer about everything. He was obedient to His Father and heard His Father’s will by seeking Him in prayer. By: Editors Category: My Blog (1) Comments |

 | How did Jesus pray? |
Jesus prayed directly to His heavenly Father. He prayed anywhere—whether outdoors on a hill, or in a boat. Anywhere. He prayed often. Sometimes He prayed all night or rose up early in the morning to pray. Jesus prayed talking to His Father as a boy talks to His dad. We see this in His long prayer in the Gospel of John, chapter 17 where He talks plainly and simply to His heavenly Father. In the biography of Jesus seen in John’s Gospel in the New Testament, we can read about Jesus praying to God the Father. Click here: http://www.jesuscentral.com/ji/life-of-jesus-ancient/biography-of-jesus-christ/who-is-Jesus-by-john/gospel-of-john-17_6-19.php Before going to the cross, Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane. His disciples were with Him but the fell asleep. According to the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament, "…he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, 'O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will but as You will'" (Matthew 26:39 NKJV). Jesus even prayed when He was on the cross: “Father forgiven them, they don’t know what they are doing.” By: Editors Category: My Blog (2) Comments |

 | Did Jesus encourage free love? |
Jesus did not encourage free love. On the contrary, He discouraged and did not condone it. According to the sayings of Jesus found in the New Testament Bible, with regard to sexual behavior, Jesus encouraged marriage and did not endorse people living together without the commitment of legal marriage. Jesus always encouraged commitment and responsibility in relations – which supports the idea of marriage and fidelity. By: Editors Category: My Blog (1) Comments |

 | Did Jesus forbid war? |
According to the New Testament Bible, Jesus neither forbad nor condoned war. Jesus came to free man from sin. War is caused by sin. Jesus came to reveal sin so that men could be saved and live in harmony. But Jesus also claimed that His radical sayings would bring division among men because some would not believe them. He came to bring peace within, knowing that on this earth there would be trouble without. By: Editors Category: My Blog (1) Comments |
