personality

“Jesus was angry enough to purge the temple, hungry enough to eat raw grain, distraught enough to weep in public, fun-loving enough to be called a drunkard, winsome enough to attract kids, weary enough to sleep in a storm-bounced boat, poor enough to sleep on dirt and borrow a coin for a sermon illustration, radical enough to get kicked out of town, responsible enough to care for His mother, tempted enough to know the smell of Satan, and fearful enough to sweat blood.

“But why?  Why would heaven’s finest Son endure earth’s toughest pain?  So you would know that…whatever you are facing, He knows how you feel.”

-from Max Lucado’s Next Door Savior

I like this picture of Jesus, the Jesus who unabashedly showed all sides of His personality while here saving the world.
