1. Jesus possessed traits such as being observant, detail-oriented, confident, decisive, and charismatic. He had innate authority and did not need to acquire it. Choosing the 12 apostles was one of the first important acts Jesus did. The apostles not only helped spread his teachings but also kept him physically safe. The violent reaction of the Nazarenes to Jesus' teachings highlights timeless lessons of human nature.
2. Jesus demands that those he calls put their mission first, even if it causes conflict within their families. He stressed the absolutist nature of serving him and the painful choices it involved. The 12 people he picked were given special functions and powers and were enlisted in his mission. Starting anything, including a mission, requires an act of faith.
3. Jesus's teachings emphasized the importance of inner sentiments, kindness, and love towards others. He believed that loving God and loving every other person were the center of a good life, stating that there is no greater commandment. He also taught that everyone is a neighbor and turned compassion for individuals into a broader gospel of love for mankind as a whole, a concept that did not exist in his time.
