Why They Loved Jesus

Why They Loved Jesus: The Real Character of the Man Who Ran Toward the Broken

People did not follow Jesus because He was impressive from a distance; they followed Him because of what He was like up close. He was gentle without being weak and honest without being cruel. He touched the untouchable, welcomed the outcast, defended the shamed, and spoke to children and prostitutes and tax collectors as though they mattered, because to Him they did. A bruised reed shall he not break, the prophet said of Him, and smoking flax shall he not quench. The pages below step into the actual Gospel scenes, the leper He touched, the woman He would not condemn, the children He took up in His arms, and show you the character that made hardened people weep and sinners feel safe. This is the Jesus you were made to love. Come and see Him for yourself, and then come to Him.
