Jesus Christ’s teachings showed the true power that he harnessed. For example, in the Temptation of Jesus, Jesus was able to not give into the tests of Satan. Rather, he responded with witty statements that ultimately led to the disappearance of the devil and showed the people to only worship God (Mt 4: 1-11). Also, in Jesus’s account of Personal Relationships, he preached that an eye for an eye is not the right way. People must not retaliate. They must walk away from the situation and not show hate towards the enemy (Mt 5: 38-42). This portrayed Jesus as a powerful person with self-control. Again in Personal Relationships, Jesus told the people how they shouldn’t love their neighbor and hate their enemy. Instead, they should love their enemy and pray for the ones who persecute them. By doing this, people were accomplishing what God wanted. Jesus had great power to be able to teach the people to love everyone, for that was a truly hard task to do (Mt 5: 43-48). Jesus revealed his power through many teachings, and, he also showed his power through his miracles.
Jesus’s miracles showed that he was truly the son of God and held all his mighty power. In Jesus’s miracle, Healing of a Boy with a Demon, he expelled a demon that was making a boy scream and convulse. The boy was an only child who his dad loved dearly. The father was astonished by the majesty of God as his son was given back to him (Mt 17: 14-20). This miracle showed that Jesus had power over the evil in the world and was superior to other mystical forces.
