- spoke to people in their, and His, native language
- didn't dress differently from ordinary people
- physically, didn't appear to be different from ordinary people
- prayed, sometimes in synagogues, but often alone
- said that He came for "sinners"
- criticized "scribes and pharisees" for adding to the burdens of people
- said "render to Cesar what is Cesar's, and to God what is God's".
Jesus impressed ordinary people (sinners) by His words and by His example. A commander in the occupying army in Jesus' country said to Jesus "Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof; but, only say the word, and my servant will be healed."
Jesus was relevant in His time on earth; and Jesus is still relevant today.
Today the "ordained" in Jesus' church:
- celebrate masses in Latin, a dead language that Jesus' people today neither speak nor understand
- dress differently
- tell Jesus' people how to vote
What has happened to Jesus' church?
