When on earth, Jesus displayed great love for his Father. He also demonstrated great love for people. (Matt. 22:35-40) Jesus was kind and considerate, not harsh or overbearing. “Come to me, all you who are toiling and loaded down,” he said, “and I will refresh you.” (Matt. 11:28-30) Sheep-like people of all ages, especially those who were downtrodden and oppressed, found great comfort in Jesus’ delightful personality and uplifting message. Consider how Jesus dealt with women. Throughout history, many men have treated women very badly. That was true of the religious leaders in ancient Israel. But Jesus treated women with respect. This is made evident in his dealings with a woman who had been sick for 12 years with a flow of blood.—Mark 5:25-34. w10 5/15 1:6-8
