Jesus’ Titles For Himself

Jesus said He was the bread of life and the living bread (John 6:35, 48, 51).

He was the light of the world (John 8:12).

Jesus was the good shepherd (John 10:11, 14).

Jesus outright claimed to be the Son of God (John 10:36).

He also liked to call himself the Son of man (Matthew 20:28).

He said He was the way, the truth and the life (John 14:6).

Jesus Was Passionate

Some portrayals of Jesus in films and popular culture have Him walking around like a disconnected being who is hanging around to solve problems.

However, the Bible shows some very passionate scenes from the life of Christ.

He overthrew the tables of the money changers in the temple (Matthew 21:12, 13).

He was moved to tears at the news of Lazarus’ death (John 11:35).

The Bible says many times that Jesus was moved with compassion (Matthew 9:36-38; 21:12, Mark 1:41 and others).

Jesus and John the Baptist

John the Baptist was Jesus’ second cousin.

Mary (the mother of Jesus) and Elisabeth (the mother of John) were cousins (Luke 1:36).

John was about 6 months older than Jesus (Luke 1:36).

John leaps in the womb Luke 1:41

In John chapter 1, John the Baptist declares Jesus as the Lamb of God (v. 36)
