There are many more, but these 3 come to mind:
He threw the sellers out of the temple (John 2:14-16), saying: “Is it not written, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it a cave of robbers.” The sellers were charging exorbitant prices to people who needed to buy animals to sacrifice. Jesus saw that as extortion or robbery, something unacceptable in a place that was meant for prayer and worship.
He taught people how they should treat others. In the sermon on the mount Jesus taught a lot of practical things, but my favorite is the one registered in Luke 6:31 “Also, just as you want men to do to you, do the same way to them”. Very simple, straight to the point, perhaps the best-known statement in that sermon, often called the Golden Rule.
He turned water into wine.Jesus was attending a wedding and the wine ran out. Very embarrassing. So, what did Jesus do? He turned water into wine (John 2: 1-11)!
That’s one skill I wish I had.
Have a wonderful Sunday everyone.
