In class I have been reading about Jesus christ's life and looking for acts of courage. I then had thirty minutes to write about it.
Intro
Do you wanna be courageous just like Jesus? And do you wanna learn from him? Well, Jesus was a wise courageous man. He never gave up on God and he never bowed down to any other idols. There have been many times when Jesus has been courageous and had courage. For example when Jesus sacrificed his life on the cross for our sins, when he went to the devil in the wilderness, when they were at sea on a large boat and Jesus rebuked the storm and calmed them down. You see, there are many things in this world that Jesus has done. Jesus was scared through-out all those activities but he never gave up because his father was with him all the way.
The wilderness
Jesus went to the wilderness where the devil was. The trip took forty days and nights and Jesus fasted for that many days and nights. Jesus got there and the devil (Satan) was surprised, Jesus was skinny and he almost couldn't stand but one thing that he carried was the holy bible and mostly every word that he declared to the devil was the word of God. Satan spoke “ if you are really the Son of God turn these stones into bread”, but Jesus repudiated and he said “Man shall not live on bread alone but every word that comes from my mouth is the word of God”. Jesus said “ Get away from me, come and worship the one and only true God”, then the devil vanished and the angels came upon him. Jesus was courageously bold, he did his job he was trying to convince the devil to change his way and worship the one and only God. But the devil dined him in all ways. We can learn from this by being bold and to turn from your wicked ways and to speak the word of God to people.
The storm
One day Jesus was in a boat. Then a while later, a raging storm came upon them. Jesus' disciples were petrified. But Jesus didn’t know that because he was asleep. They were frightened so they woke up Jesus and Jesus said “ Where is your faith in God”, so Jesus rebuked (Speak with authority) the storm and told his disciples to calm down and everything is gonna be ok. Jesus knew the storm was coming but he still went on the boat. We can learn from this by when you're in this situation we can be like Jesus, calm and rebuke the storm or pray to God for good weather.
Conclusion
In short, there are many ways that we can learn from Jesus and how we can be courageous. We need to be like Jesus bold and to never let fear get in our way.
