Jesus, on the other hand, is a vivid and significant alternative role model for men and women in Christian circles. The content of his preaching and the way he lived communicated values of humility, gentleness, and forgiveness. He accepted people for what they were and reached out a helping hand. He did not manipulate or exploit, but rather empowered the powerless. He saved his judgment for the self-righteous. He expressed his feelings: love, anger, fear, sadness, and commitment.
