100 Things Jesus Didn’t Do Or Worry About During His Time On Earth

100 Things Jesus Didn’t Do Or Worry About During His Time On Earth
What are the things Jesus didn’t do or worry about during His time on Earth? We know by reading The Bible that Jesus came to Earth to deliver man from sin. He lived 30-something years and provided a textbook example of how to navigate life on Earth the correct way.
We don’t know every exact detail of what Jesus did every single day of His life on Earth because it isn’t important to us. He was born. He worked. He taught. He was murdered. He rose from the dead. He knew before He arrived how long He would live and how He was going to die. Personally, I couldn’t have done it. I couldn’t imagine living 30 plus years, knowing I was going to be brutally murdered for people I didn’t know. God truly loves us. We’re so evil and disloyal and He still looked out for us. Amazing. His mercy and grace is everything.
His life was a textbook example of how to live holy, please God by doing His Will, and getting into Heaven. As an aside, there’s no other way we could ever think about getting into Heaven. We’re born into sin and continue to fall from grace on a daily basis. God loves us so much and wants us to be with Him so badly, that He created a cheat code to get into Heaven and it required the ultimate sacrifice of His beloved Son. Through His death, we are given a clean slate of our sins every and anytime we ask for redemption.
- Making Friends – Jesus wasn’t hanging out and having good times and socializing with a circle of people. He chose His apostles and they were about God’s business only. They didn’t throw parties or have events. They preached The Word of God, period.
- Having Children – Jesus did not take a wife and never had children.
- Satan’s Advances – He paid the Devil dust
- Dwelling – We never heard of Jesus building or owning a home. We do know He had a place to lay His head every night.
Are we supposed to do exactly as Jesus did? Of course not. God chose some people to marry and be fruitful. He has different callings for each individual. There is only one Messiah and He had a specific purpose.
Had He concerned Himself with any of the above, His purpose would’ve been greatly compromised. He would’ve been too worldly. He was called to be in this world, not of this world.
If Jesus had made friends, they would’ve socialized and shared thoughts and opinions. They would’ve experienced shared activities. Man’s thoughts and opinions are not God’s thoughts and opinions and therefore these people would’ve been feeding Jesus things that didn’t matter as far as God and redemption is concerned. They would’ve burdened Him with their problems and wants and veered Jesus away from saving mankind to tend to their personal needs.
What parts should we use as instruction? We should focus on how Jesus moved. How did He thwart Satan? How did He deal with haters i.e. scribes, Pharisees etc.?
