How Did Jesus Live?

[indenturedservant]

This is a PERSONAL OPINION, IN-YOUR-OWN-WORDS, question.

I'm not interested in "Sunday school answers."

When you think about the life that Jesus led during his public ministry, what do you see, assume, or realize about "how he lived on a day-to-day basis?

How would you describe his life?

The guy was a carpenter. Probably banged his thumb with a hammer a time or two. I'm sure that he didn't swear though. During his public ministry he did a lot of traveling with his friends. I would describe his adult life as probably painful but satisfying.

Your turn. How would you describe his life?

Dedicated to one thing.
Tired and slept when he could.
Loved unlovable people, filthy, sinful people.
Homeless, he depended on others to provide shelter because he traveled.
He called out the hypocrisy of the leaders of his people, identifying them as the devil's children.
He prayed a lot, he was always in contact with the Father.

His life was simple, he had no possessions, didn't earn an income during his ministry, so he was poor, as well as homeless.

He sought out the homeless, the hurting, and people who drank in excess and had reputations as gluttons and tax collectors/thieves... Sinners, the lost.

He was so easy to forgive others, to acknowledge their faith, and to just love them.

Good reply.

Hahaha, you caught me off guard with that. I hadn't expected someone would ask that.

Obviously though, it is a thought that is often on my mind, and I really just love to hear the thoughts of others to jive with my own thoughts, or, to just get to know how others see things.

Your comment, "painful but satisfying" is not only well-stated, but profound.

He called out the hypocrisy of the leaders of his people, identifying them as the devil's children.

Then why did Jesus teach his disciples and multitudes that followed him "For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven." Matt 5:20

However, in John 8:44, he was speaking to those Jews who believed on him. Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; John 8:31 He only said they were of their father the devil once they disagreed with what he said.

Jesus warned his disciples to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, being hypocrisy.

The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact likeness of His character (Hebrews 1:3), which he embodied through his works by setting a perfect example for us to follow of how to practice Judaism through walking in sinless obedience to the Torah.

The original Israelites were most likely black.When Joseph was made ruler of Egypt answering only to Pharaoh,his own brothers didn't even recognize him.
The Egyptians themselves were black,you can easily notice that in the hieroglyphics left behind.Which is probably how Joseph was able to go unnoticed by his own brothers.He blended in with the Egyptian people.
They most likely lost melanin and became lighter by mixing with all they came in contact with.By the time of Jesus he would have been tanned looking.That's how he looked to me.Akiane Kramarik's painting portrays him best.

The God of Heaven living glorious with untold riches and beauty as far as the eye can see owning everything chose a family that lived extremely modest, within their means, working for everything they had, living as a Jew under Roman authority and dictatorship where poverty and injustice abounded everywhere, obeying the tenants of the Mosaic Law.

He didn't live in an earthly palace but the typical mud straw structures with no bells and whistles attached. It was the typical standard mud floors, walls, stick and straw broom kind of living.

Personally, I believe being brought up in Nazareth where it's basically known as a troubled rough neck area, mostly known for people of insurrection coming out of that area so everyone there was very strong opinionated and known as outcasts from Jerusalem. Yeshua probably had many friends that were typical for that area but simultaneously unique. Yeshua Himself was already concerned about the Father's business at age 12 so He probably was kind of odd to others.

But as far as how He lived as an adult before His Ministry and during we seen Him with the types of people in the Bible that would fit those from Nazareth and Capernaum {drunkards, tax collectors, people of ill repute according to the Pharisees, Sadducees} (Sinners that He came to heal the sick and needy).

He was very uncommon and blended in and the only thing separating Him from everyone else was the fact He was the God that created the Universe and He could heal You, raise you from the dead, cast the demons out of you, make your leprosy disappear, make your blinded eyes see, make your withered hands and legs straighten out, take away your illness and sickness and give you Eternal life.

They might not have recognized their youngest brother whom they hated because when they cast him into a empty pit without water initially, instead of slaying him, whom was at the time was only seventeen Do you know how long it was from the time they had sold him until they saw him again?

I would suggest that it was Joseph position and was the passage of time as the reason his older brothers didn't recognize him.

Wouldn't the change in the genetic attributes found in the different races be proof of the evolution of the species if mankind on earth originated from a single set of progenitors?

It could have been that Pharoah at the time of Joseph judged man by the content of their character and not the color of their skin.

It wasn't until a new King arose in Egypt that knew nothing about Joseph that it was said " Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land."

We don't have to wonder. God's word tells us exactly how He lived his life.
