The Ministry of Jesus

Jesus’ ministry can be thought of in two components- His works and His words.

His Works

Miracles are a highlight of the gospels. They show us the scope of Jesus’ power. Make a list of Jesus’ miracles as you read.  

 

Take note of His actions as well. Watch for events such as His baptism, temptation, way of life, and interactions with people.

His Words

Sermons, parables, proclamations certainly are important. Many Bible print the words of Christ in red to emphasis their importance.

 

Also watch His conversations, prayers, and responses to His followers and His opponents. In these we read revelations of truth from the Eternal one.

His Words and His works  

As you carefully read, you will see Jesus in a new way. Together Jesus’ works and His words point to His absolute power and authority. Even when we don’t fully understand the deep truths, we are assured of the authenticity of Jesus’ ministry and message.
