The Five Teachings of Jesus The five of the teachings of Jesus are the following: Be Merciful (Luke 6:36, Matthew 5:7, Forgiveness (Luke6: 37), Seek Goodness (Luke 6:45), Respect Others (Luke 14:11), and Be Kind (Luke 6:31). Be Merciful (Luke 6:31). "Be merciful just as your father is merciful." (Matthew 5:7): "Happy are those who are merciful to others; God will be merciful to them." The passage s teaches us mainly about being merciful to our enemy and God will be merciful toward us. Forgiveness of kind especially toward our enemy. We should not harm others even if they done bad things against us. We should show compassion towards others because if we don't people might not show compassion towards us. The passage told us that Jesus is merciful even towards his enemies. Perfect example of this is forgiving Jusus' enemy when he was put on the cross. Jesus even prayed for them to not punish them. Forgiveness (Luke 6:37): " Do not judge others, and God will not judge you; do not condemn others, and God will not condemn you; forgive others and God will forgive you." The passage teaches us that we should forgive others and we will be forgiven. We should treat others, as we want to be treated. Jesus never judged or condemned others no matter what they did to him. Seek Goodness (Luke 6:45): "a good person brings good out of the treasure of good things in his heart; a bad person brings bad out of his treasure of bad things. For mouth speaks what the heart is full of." The passage teaches us mainly about looking for the good in all, not for evil. We should look for positive thought in all, not for negative thoughts. Jesus always seeks goodness in all of us. Respect Others (Luke 14:11): "For everyone who makes himself great will be humbled, and everyone who humbles himself will be great." The passage teaches us mainly about helping others if they need help.

Analysis Of The Parables And Teachings Of Jesus
analytical essay
When it comes to making judgements on the merits of others, it seems as though Jesus is quite set on relaying to his disciples the dangers of hypocrisy. One’s own actions must be accounted for before trying to account for the actions of others. Lessons of this kind would have helped to empower early Christians to better apply some sort of objective consistency to their lives. Jesus conveyed such concepts

DBQ Essay On Religion
comparative essay
In his or her life, a Christian tries to obey the 10 commandments. Throughout history, these rules have been proclaimed by Moses and Isaiah and Jeremiah, taught by Jesus, interpreted by the apostles, like Peter and Paul, and other teachers within the traditional Christian understandings of what is right and what is wrong. Document 1 lists the 10 commandments, but there is a couple that emphasizes what one should not do. “You shall not steal, You shall not give false evidence against your neighbor, You shall not covet.” A follower of this religion would look up to these listings and obey them whenever in doubt or have difficulty making a tough decision. God also quotes in Document 9, “Blessed are the merciful; for they shall obtain mercy.” This explains how if you show mercy towards Him, you will get mercy back.

What Is Forgiving?
analytical essay
He also warned about the consequences of sin and the judgement of men if they do forgive. An example of this can be found in the parable of the unforgiving servant, (Matthew 18:21-35). The forgiven servant who did not show mercy to another, received judgement. The ability to forgive also releases one from judgement. In the scripture, Luke 6:37-38, it reads, “Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap; for the measure you give will be the measure you get back” (The New Oxford Annotated Bible, 2010, p. 1841).

Love And Unconditional Friendliness, Love, And Grace
analytical essay
Like the Buddha, Christ regards love and unconditional friendliness as fundamental human ethics. The central notion of love and unconditional friendliness is both implicit and explicit in the Christian Bible and in the life of Jesus. Jesus explains that love is God and God is love; therefore, everything that God creates—humans, nature, animals, etc.—is love . In his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus teaches the principle of the Golden Rule, in which he discusses the importance of love through unconditional friendliness. Matthew 7:12 describes this principle as “is everything, do to other what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets” . In other words, this quote shows that though Jesus knew human’s hearts are selfish, so he provides humans with a standard in which people can gauge their actions: actively treat others the way they themselves would want to be treated.
