The following scriptures are great examples of Jesus' completeness.
Matthew 10:28-30 28 Do not be afraid of those who kill
the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of
the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. 29 Are
not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will
fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. 30
And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31
So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
Jesus could warn the disciples about hell and damnation
and then in the same breadth encourage them on how much
God cares for them and will take care of them.
Matthew 10:32-33 32 "Whoever acknowledges me before
men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven.
33 But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him
before my Father in heaven.
Jesus can encourage them about going to heaven and being
acknowledged by God, and at the same time warn them abou
the opposite.
Jesus could stir up the hearts of men as a revolutionary...
Matthew 10:34-36
34 "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace
to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
35 For I have come to turn
"`a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law --
36 a man's enemies will be the members of his own
household.' (NIV)
And, calm the hearts of his discples with comforting words
of peace.
John 14:27 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give
you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let
your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
John 16:33 "I have told you these things, so that
in me you may have peace. In this world you will have
trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
