Examples
This image best portrays Jesus because he is laughing. The bible says Jesus was loving person. In John 13:35, it says, By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.’ Disciples follow their leader, so Jesus must have been loving. Disciples wanted to be with Jesus, and they won’t want to be with someone who is unhappy, sad or angry. Therefore, for me, loving people to me are joyous and happy people.
This image least portrays Jesus because he is angry. Rarely does the bible ever speak of Jesus being angry. The only example that I know of was when Jesus cleared the temple of the moneychangers and animal-sellers. Loving people are rarely angry. For me, loving people, such as Jesus, are joyous and happy people. They are not angry people.
