Jesus, the Positive Guru

Positive attitude of Jesus

When we see a glass with water up to its half level we can perceive it into two ways: ‘a half empty glass’ or ‘ a half filled glass’. A man with the positive attitude perceives it as half filled glass. Jesus always had a positive attitude. So he watched a widow putting two copper coins into the treasury and recognized it as the greatest of all contributions. (Luke. 21:1-4)

Positive vision of Jesus

Jesus had a positive vision for him God appeared as a compassionate and forgiving father who can embrace a prodigal son (Luke 15:11-24) or could leave his 99 sheep for the sake of a lost one (Luke 15: 1-10). Being the children of same, one, compassionate god he realized the bond of brotherhood between all human beings in a very special way.

Positive action of Jesus

He opted only positive actions. He not only preached to love enemies (Matthew 5:43) and to show the next cheek to those who strike on one but also practiced it in his life by forgiving his enemies on the cross and praying for them. (Luke 23:4)

This is the good news Jesus suggested to his disciples: positive attitude, positive vision and positive action. And he commissioned: “Go into all the world and proclaim Good news to the whole creation.” (Mark 16:5)
