John 12:44-45
Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me believes not only in me but also in the one who sent me, and whoever sees me sees the one who sent me.”
Did you ever see Jesus squash anyone? How about threaten to harm anyone? Humanity’s understanding of God evolved over thousands of years…usually reflecting the way human beings behaved. If they were vindictive and vengeful…well then God was as well. But Jesus said that if you knew Him…you knew God. Jesus spent his life showing love, mercy, forgiveness and compassion. He didn’t condemn anyone…even the woman caught in adultery. The only people who really angered Jesus were the self-righteous, judgmental religious leaders. Christ offered compassion to those who messed up…who were broken and in need. This is truly Good News!
