Welcome or welcome back to my free coloring pages blog.
Today's new coloring page I drew for you is of Jesus Christ.
Jesus Confronts Corrupt Leaders
Jesus was kind and loving. He was especially kind to those who were hated or deemed sinners or of the lower class. He was also very blunt as he verbally castigated corrupt leaders who took advantage of the poor and used their position to enrich themselves. There are modern leaders who are corrupt and enrich themselves by using their position in unethical ways. There are even modern political and religious leaders who emphasize some commandments yet support the violation of other commandments. They will condemn some people and treat them very unkindly. Yet these leaders CLAIM to be Christians. They are being very un-Christian-like.
Jesus did not condone sin, but he loved the sinners. He spent time with and ministered to tax collectors, Samaritans, fishermen, and a woman with an issue of blood. She was considered unclean. You were not even supposed to touch her. Of course, Jesus healed her. Jesus was kind and forgiving to the woman caught in adultery. He told her he did not condemn her and to go her way and sin no more.
Jesus criticized leaders and the wealthy who thought they were better than everyone else. Jesus taught rich people to be kind and generous. But he also was critical of rich people who were selfish. After Jesus' resurrection, the Apostle Peter was commanded to bring the Gospel of Repentance to everyone - including the Gentiles. And Jesus sent Paul to teach the Gentiles the Gospel.
Jesus Christ's message was that He came to Earth to suffer and die to pay the eternal price for our sins. His atonement opened the door for us to repent. But He also taught us to be kind and generous to all people. He taught us to not be full of hate or think we are better than others. Jesus taught that caring for the disenfranchised people, the vulnerable, the poor, and the stranger was very important. He even said that how you treat the least of the people was viewed as how we had treated Him. He said,
"Inasmuch as you did it unto the least of these my brethren, you did it unto me. Inasmuch as
you did it NOT unto the least of these my brethren, you did not do it unto me."
I would hope that in this violent, divisive time, more people would try to be more like Jesus and be kind to the stranger, the poor, the immigrant, the refugee, and the foreigner. If we all were being kind to foreigners, then there would be no war. Sadly, there still are wicked people that good people still have to defend themselves from. And corrupt leaders still cause much suffering in the world.
If we all were kind to the poor, refugees, and immigrants, the world would be a much kinder place. I believe that the 1000 years of peace that the world will have when Jesus returns in glory (His second coming) will be because all people will choose to be kind to everyone.
Did you see the dive in the wall? The dive represents that the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit is with Jesus.
