Instances of how Jesus demonstrated his love to people
There are many instances in the Bible when Jesus demonstrated his love topeople. Examples are:) Blind Bartimeaus
One day, Jesus came to Jericho. As he was leaving, the disciples and many people followed him. Bartimeaus, a blind beggar and son of Timaeus, was sitting by the roadside. When he heard that Jesus was passing by,
he cried out to Jesus for help. He said, ‘Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me’. He did not stop shouting out until Jesus heard him and stopped.
Jesus sent for him. As he was coming, he threw away his garment. When he got to Jesus, Jesus asked him, ‘What do you want me to do for you’?
The blind man answered, ‘Master, let me receive my sight’.
Jesus replied him, ‘Go your way; your faith has made you well’. Immediately, the blind man received his sight and followed Jesus.

Zacchaeus
Zacchaeus was a chief tax collector and a rich man. One day, Jesus was passing through Jericho. As usual, many people followed him. Zacchaeus wanted to see Jesus but because he was too short, he couldnot see Jesus because of the crowd. He ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree so that he could see Jesus.
When Jesus came to the sycamore tree, he said to him, ‘Zacchaeus,make haste and come down; for I must stay at your house today’.
Zacchaeus came down from the tree and received Jesus joyfully. The people around murmured because Jesus wanted to be the guest of a sinner.

When Jesus got to Zacchaeus’ house, he told Jesus that he would give half of his goods to the poor; that if he had cheated anybody of anything, he would pay back four times the amount of the cheating.Jesus told Zacchaeus, ‘Today, salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham. For the son of man came to seek and to save the lost’.
- c) Mary Magdalene
Jesus also demonstrated his love towards Mary Magdalene. Jesus drove out seven demons from her.
Importance of sh Iowing love to one another
Jesus demonstrated his love to mankind by healing the sick, delivering the Oppressed, opening the eyes of the blind, healing many diseases, and raising up the dead. We can show love to people by taking care of them.
It is important to show love to one another because
1 Showing love to one another brings peace among people.
2 Showing love makes us draw closer to one another and to God.
3 Showing love to one another brings unity.
4 Showing love to one another brings joy and happiness among people.
Moral lessons
1 God demonstrated his love for us by sending Jesus into the world to diefor our sins. We must love one another to the point of giving best gifts
to one another.
2 When Bartimaeus was going to Jesus, he removed his garment. We
must remove things that will not allow us to receive mercy from God.
3 Zacchaeus climbed a sycamore tree to see Jesus. We must not allow
anything to stop our love for God.
4 We must forgive other people in love. Zacchaeus said that he would pay back four times, if he had taken anything from anybody unjustly. We should be able to pay whatever we owe other people.

Jesus promises his spirit
When Jesus was about to ascend into Heaven, he promised his disciples the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit represents the spirit of Jesus and of God the father.
In John 16:4-11, Jesus told his disciples that he would soon go back to his father. They became very sad. Jesus then explained to them that he would not leave them alone. He said he would send them the Holy Spirit who would be their counsellor. The Holy Spirit would teach the world righteousness and condemn evil in the hearts of people.
On Pentecost Day, the Holy Spirit was sent on the twelve apostles. Later
other believers started receiving the spirit because the promise was for all who would believe in Jesus
The Holy Spirit guided the early disciples in their work of spreading the Gospel. The same Holy Spirit is also guiding us today as Christians.

In the Church at Antioch in Syria, there were prophets and teachers. Paul vand Barnabas were among them.
One day, while they were worshipping and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, ‘Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul (Paul) for the work to which I have called them.’ The work the Holy Spirit said he had called them for was missionary work or evangelism
as the messengers of God. She started following them screaming, ‘These are the servants of the Most High God who proclaim to you the way of salvation’.
Paul had to cast out the evil spirit in her and she got converted. She was
no longer practising soothsaying. This is because the evil spirit in her that
was helping her in that pagan practice had been cast out.
The owners of the slave girl who were making money out of her soothsaying got angry with Paul and. They took them to the magistrates at a market place and lied that they were disturbing people and teaching
them bad things.
The people there at the market place attacked them. The magistrates did not wait to find out the truth. They immediately gave an order that Paul and Silas should be beaten with rods.
Paul and Silas in a market place before the magistrates
After beating them with rods, they bound them and put them in the inner prison with very tight securityWhile they were in the prison bound in chains, the Spirit of Christ in them made them not to be afraid. They were praising and worshipping God
and other prisoners listened to them. As they were singing at midnight, God sent a very strong earthquake that shook the prison house. The fetters they bound Paul and Silas with broke. The prison doors opened but Paul and Silas did not run away. When the prison guard saw that the prison doors were open, he wantedto kill himself because he thought that Paul and Silas had escaped. He did not want to face the punishment of being killed. As Paul and Silas saw him trying to kill himself, they stopped him and he saw that they did not run Away after all Having seen all that happened, the prison guard changed. He took Paul and Silas to his house that very night. He washed their wounds andserved them food. He was converted with all the members of his family.
While Paul and Silas were in the prison guard’s house, the magistrates sent policemen to tell them that they had been released. Paul said that the magistrates must come and apologise to them for not respecting their rights as Roman citizens. They were punished without being given fair trial.
The magistrates had to come to the prison guard’s house and apologised to them. After that Paul and Silas left Philippi.
