Jesus the Listener?

good-listenerWas Jesus a good listener?

I’m preparing a leadership training workshop for members of the Thames Valley churches of Christ. The topic is, “Listening like Jesus” and it is focussed on listening skills.

I am convinced that Jesus was an excellent listener, but the scriptures demonstrating this are sparse.

So my question is, do you see Jesus as a good listener? And if so, what persuades you that this was a strong part of his character?

I would greatly value your thoughts. Please leave a comment below this post.

Many thanks, and God bless,

Malcolm

A Little Bit Of Luke: Part 6

Luke gives us a particular emphasis on the necessity of the cross and the suffering of Messiah. Why might that be?

Here are some references to the Greek word “dei” that Luke uses to emphasis the necessity of things: Luke 2:49; 4:43; 9:22; 13:33; 17:25; 22:7, 37; 24:7, 26, 44.

A Little Bit Of Luke: Part 5 (video)

Why do we have so much information about John “the dipper” (see Josephus)? Isn’t the Gospel about Jesus? Perhaps Luke had a reason for giving John so much airtime, but what was it?

References to John in Acts: Acts 1:5, 22; 10:37; 11:16; 13:24; 18:25; 19:3–4

The reference from Josephus quoted in the recording: http://www.livius.org/sources/content/josephus-on-john-the-baptist
