Jesus was happy when people acknowledged his dignity and saddened when they did not, but he never sought their esteem or regard.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If the message of Jesus was love, hope and compassion, and I can bring that to more people by being a more appealing Jesus, I am happy with that.
Happy is he who has gained the wealth of divine thoughts, wretched is he whose beliefs about the gods are dark.
I am reasonably happy. I didn't find Jesus or anything like that. Part of it is that I just feel that I could go home. I did not feel like that for a long time, but I could go back now.
Jesus did not spend a great deal of time discoursing about the trinity or original sin or the incarnation, which have preoccupied later Christians. He went around doing good and being compassionate.
I can say that I never knew what joy was like until I gave up pursuing happiness, or cared to live until I chose to die. For these two discoveries I am beholden to Jesus.
The world assumes that we are very happy with high mansions, fine carriages, servants and attendants, huge investments, and concubines. But he who is without the honor and strength of the soul can be anything but happy.
Jesus told us to learn from him how to be meek and humble of heart. We must look at his life if we are to have any concept of what humility is all about.
No one can be said to be happy until he is dead.
Happiness is no respecter of persons.
Jesus was humble when He walked this earth. He had all power, yet used all meekness.
