Thoughts on Jesus’ core values taught and lived out

1. Love in action-care and compassion for people especially the sick, poor and marginalised. Love above legalism and hypocrisy. Always focus on others. It is not how much you know, it is about how much you love with focus on trust in the sovereign God-the author of life. Relies on Him in all situations like a compass not rely on our feelings.
2. Admired people with great faith– examples:centurion, woman with internal bleeding for years. Taught on child-like faith to enter the kingdom of God.
