Which Way Jesus

John 10:17-18 17 The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”

How would you in a single word define the philosophy of Jesus in his human form? Could we use the word goodness? It has been said that the fewer words it takes to describe a man the greater the man is. Good! He was not rejected because he was doing bad things, he was rejected and persecuted because he was doing good! He spoke truth with an extreme allegiance and devotion to righteousness. He was always confronting people with his goodness or godliness, measuring people with the same.

John 15:19-20 19 “If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. 20 Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’[b] If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. “
