Jesus - The Christ Recognised! Who? How? When? What? (3Ed)

Jesus recognised as The Christ? Who? How? When? Where? They met him!



How do you learn new stuff? Various senses may be involved, for example, touch ("Ow, that is really hot!").

I have posted previously on Jesus being The Christ (ie, The Messiah). I have included information from disciples who show differing levels of understanding and conviction. But, how did it come about in the first place that they had become disciples of Jesus as being The Christ?

Jesus the Prophet - the Messiah - the King!

From very early Jesus was seen as king. Jesus claimed a kingdom, not of this world.  He is king of his kingdom. He has and welcomes servants (followers) but his retinue is unique.  "The Kingdom of God/Heaven" was a major topic for Jesus. At the time many wrong (human) ideas about God's kingdom were prevalent. Jesus rejected use of force or compulsion.

Yep; he sure did.
if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one he said (see below)
 

HOWEVER, please see the whole, not just the shocking bit!

Did Jesus Really Get ANGRY?

A Day of Anger - Jesus' anger and their fury.


Truly sad to say, one Sabbath day people were so very angry when Jesus healed a man.

Did Jesus Really NOT CARE for Her? (or, Martha's Mistakes)

Did Jesus actively care for Martha?

Martha, a kind, hard-working, and dutiful lady had to learn about what is better and to recognise, after all, that Jesus was truly caring for her. Luke gives us a brief compressed pericope, with two unusual words, and it comes with even some alternative (puzzling) clauses.

Like Jesus' Glorious Body (Revised 2)

This phrase comes from Paul, the Apostle of Jesus. 

Here it is with some more context. But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself (Philippians 3:20-21 ESV).
