    About this ebook

    In times of need, many turn to the words of Jesus for guidance. His teachings have been a source of comfort and wisdom for millennia— for believers and nonbelievers alike. His message of God’s love, the oneness of humanity, and the value of living in a way that is filled with hope and affirmation resonate with nearly everyone.

    This beautiful gift book offers the teachings of Jesus in inspirational bite-sized nuggets. It is a book that readers will turn to time and time again. Among the topics covered are love, forgiveness, charity, repentance, and peace.

    “The greatest of all the Commandments is to love God with all your heart and soul, and with all your mind.”

    “Don’t worry about tomorrow, because that will bring its own fresh worries. Live each day as it comes.”

      Jesus' Little Book of Wisdom - Andrea Kirk Assaf

      PART ONE

      The Call to Discipleship

      I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.

      John 13:34–35

      Whoever is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much; and whoever is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much. If then you have not been faithful with the dishonest wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? And if you have not been faithful with what belongs to another, who will give you what is your own? No slave can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.

      Luke 16:10–13

      I do not call you servants any longer, because the servant does not know what the master is doing; but I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from my Father. You did not choose me but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask him in my name. I am giving you these commands so that you may love one another.

      John 15:15–17

      I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinegrower. He removes every branch in me that bears no fruit. Every branch that bears fruit He prunes to make it bear more fruit. You have already been cleansed by the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me as I abide in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing. Whoever does not abide in me is thrown away like a branch and withers; such branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask for whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples.

      John 15:1–8

      Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.

      Luke 11:23

      Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who will not get back very much more in this age, and in the age to come eternal life.

      Luke 18:29–30

      If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.

      John 8:31–32

      Whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.

      Mark 3:35

      While he was saying this, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, Blessed is the womb that bore you and the breasts that nursed you! But he said, Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it!

      Luke 11:27–28

      As he walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea—for they were fishermen. And he said to them, Follow me, and I will make you fish for people. Immediately they left their nets and followed him.

      Matthew 4:18–20

      Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there will my servant be also. Whoever serves me, the Father will honor.

      John 12:26

      Those who speak on their own seek their own glory; but the one who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and there is nothing false in him.

      John 7:18

      Do you not say, Four months more, then comes the harvest? But I tell you, look around you, and see how the fields are ripe for harvesting. The reaper is already receiving wages and is gathering fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together. For here the saying holds true, One sows and another reaps. I sent you to reap that for which you did not labor. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.

      John 4:35–38

      If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves
