The young Jesus was DIFFERENT—He behaved differently because He had a different standard from the rest of His brothers and all the people surrounding Him. 👇 This DIFFERENCE became the very point of conflict. Jesus experienced many days of conflict, where He was constantly bullied and bashed. He became the subject of gossip and was often labeled as straight-laced and narrow. And while the world expected Him to retaliate, Jesus acted DIFFERENTLY—He bore everything with patience and unfailing kindness. Yet, He wasn’t just passively quiet. He was also actively making a DIFFERENCE in people’s lives by uplifting downtrodden souls around Him, listening in sympathy with them, and speaking to them words of hope and encouragement. While the ways of the world were based on selfish manmade rules, the way of God was revealed in His Word, and that was what Jesus clung to. Jesus behaved DIFFERENTLY, but His was the way of life that gave light to people’s otherwise miserable lives. 👇 🎙 The Struggling Believer Podcast Season 4 | Episode 9 DIFFERENT | The Desire of Ages Chapter 9: Days of Conflict | DA Sunrise 👇🎙 (Link to all episodes in IG bio) https://anchor.fm/the-struggling-believer/episodes/DIFFERENT--The-Desire-of-Ages-Chapter-9-Days-of-Conflict--Morning-Devotion-e188p9k . . . #DAwithDA #TheDesireofAges #God #Jesus #boyJesus #youngJesus #Different #DaysofConflict #GreatControversy #christian #christianity #christianliving #christianinspiration #Bible #EllenWhite #EGW #JesusChrist #BibleStudy #GodsWord #WordofGod #sympathy #Savior #Redeemer #Friend #Example #ChristianBehavior #Jesuslovesyou #Jesusislove #Godislove #love https://www.instagram.com/p/CWe5VLJBL7j/?utm_medium=tumblr
