  1. 6 Attributes of Jesus To help develop our character in a positive way, we can look at six attributes of Jesus that can help us understand him better as a person of Good Character.

  2. GOODNESS • Refers to positive and important behaviour towards others- particularly the poor, the hungry, the homeless, and the sick. • What is the correct thing to do? • Healthy self-esteem and honesty are 2 qualities that can help someone to act with goodness.

  3. Matt 25:34-36 "Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'

  4. POWER • To have authority, control, or influence over other people and things. • It is shown by strength, energy, and might. • We have the power to improve our relationships with others and the world.

  5. Matthew 8:23-27

  6. WISDOM • Is the knowledge to discover the truth, and decide the best course of action in a situation. • Other words for wisdom include insight and good sense. • People who have wisdom listen carefully to others, and receive new ideas/teaching with an open mind.

  7. Luke 2:41-52

  8. LOVE • The first time Jesus asks Peter “Do you love me?” He is referring tothe love that parents have for their children, or the love between siblings or friends. • The second and third time Jesus asks Peter “Do you love me?” He is referring to: • AGAPE(Aa-Ga-Pay) a greek word where people show unselfish love and care for people without expecting anything in return. • This love is for strangers and enemies and extends beyond just family and friends.

  9. JOHN 21: 15-25

  10. MERCY • Is showing compassion and understanding for someone who may be experiencing difficulty in their life. • Forgiveness is also related to mercy. Jesus taught us to share and create a culture of forgiveness. You will certainly want forgiveness many times in your life • The ultimate forgiveness came from Jesus as he hung on the cross when He addressed those who crucified Him “Forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing”

  11. Luke 23:34

  12. JUSTICE • Is “right” that you had something to eat today, while others in the world do not? • Is it “right” that you have a warm place to sleep, but others sleep in the streets? • Justice tries to address these concerns by working toward fairness and equality for all.

  13. John 8:7
