Once again we can learn from the children. Just try to interest a child in the person who has the scowling face and the sound of a grump in their voice. On the other hand just watch them as they flock to the person with a smile and open arms. Children weren’t attracted to Jesus because of His status as a great pedagogue, they were attracted to the loving and caring that apparently oozed from His every pore.
It’s not that His teachings are not important because they certainly are our path to eternal life and a more spiritual present. Throughout the Gospels people came to Jesus by ATTRACTION. The best model is the only one He gave us, “They will know you are my disciples by the way you love each other.”

I think people are still unhappy because they are concerned about their past sins. They do not truly believe God has forgiven them and forgotten these sins. this is the human brain thinking. We must forget our past sins and serve him.
