What behavior does Jesus model in advance of making a major decision?

jesus is teaching us to return to God and pray to God and ask him his will for us in all of our decisions.he is telling us we should trust him to ask his council in everything in our lives for God loves us and wants us to depend on him100%.and we should know that once we submit to his will we should be sure that he will do what is best for us and that we should accept it even if it doesnt suit our pourpose, because God knows what is good for us better than we do.and he always does what is best for us.we might be in a hurry to get what we want but God is never in a hurry as he is never late

Why were the religious leaders so upset that Jesus would heal on the Sabbath (religious day off)?

Jesus never told anyone to keep the Sabbath. Although we are told various things that he did on the Sabbath, we are never told that he rested. According to the Gospels, what he did and taught on the Sabbath was consistently liberal.Jesus lived sinlessly under the old covenant requirements ''Hebrews 4:15''. He was born under the law, while the old covenant was still in force ''Galatians 4:4''.so jesus not resting on the sabbath angers the pharisees&jesus replies with an example from king david Haven`t you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry? He entered the house of God, and he and his companions ate the consecrated bread ¨ which was not lawful for them to do, but only for the priests Jesus` point here regarding the Sabbath is that the letter of the law is not a reliable guide to holiness. People should be judged on the heart, not on superficial actions.Healso said to them, The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath. jesus is more important than the temple and its sacrifices. The logical conclusion is that he is also more important than the Sabbath. Even before his death and resurrection, he was more important than the Sabbath.jesus wants to teach them that the rules were made to be followed and not worshipped&that the creator is more important than the created i.e God and his will is more important then the lwas and scriptures

How is Jesus` way fresh or new compared to old religious practice or tradition?

The three-year ministry of Jesus Christ, culminating in his death and resurrection and his establishment of his church, makes all the difference in the transition from the Old Testament or Covenant to the New Testament or Covenant. In those three short years he ushered in a new era of salvation, although the old era contained the seeds of the new.The Old Covenant is to the New Covenant what promise is to fulfillment. How did, does, and shall Jesus Christ fulfill the promises of the Old Covenant? Christians are commanded to read the Old Testament and are allowed to benefit from it, but they do not take everything in it as final. Christians honor the Old Testament as the Word of God, just as Jesus did. But they read it, ultimately, through the vision of Jesus and the Spirit-inspired authors of the New Testament books and epistles.
