Question
The teachings of Jesus were simple, yet revolutionary. Explain.
Solution
The teachings of Jesus were simple, yet revolutionary.
He established a code of conduct for men and women based on:
- Unconditional love for God
- True love for one’s neighbour
Jesus taught that there was one God who was compassionate, loving, and forgiving. As children of God, we should mould ourselves in the image of God. We should love our neighbours, including the poor, the sinners, and even our enemies; we should help the needy and do good even to those who harm us; we should forgive our enemies and win them over with our love. Since God loved sinners and forgave them, we should do the same. Jesus completely rejected the ‘eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth’ principle.
