The sign 'Jesus' uses both hands. Relax both hands and curl the middle fingers in at the second knuckles. Tap the fingertip of one middle finger against the palm of the other hand, then do the opposite with the hands reversed. This will look like the holes in Jesus' hands after being nailed.
Sign 'Jesus' by tapping your middle fingers to opposite palms, then cross your arms over your chest for 'love', and point directly at the person you are talking to for 'you'.
Point to yourself for 'I', sign 'believe' by touching your forehead and bringing your hands together in a clasp, and finish with the sign for 'Jesus' as described.
Sign 'we' by moving your index finger from one shoulder to the other, sign 'learn' by pulling knowledge from your palm to your forehead, and then sign 'Jesus'.

Generally, it is best to start by tapping your dominant hand's middle finger into your non-dominant palm, then switch. However, the sign is perfectly understood regardless of which hand makes the first tap, as long as both palms are touched.
The middle finger is traditionally used in ASL to represent feelings, internal states, or specific religious concepts like Jesus. Using the index finger changes the handshape entirely and might confuse the viewer, as the index finger is usually used for pointing.
No, 'Jesus' is strictly a two-handed sign. Because the sign visually represents the nails in both of Jesus' hands, using only one hand would lose the meaning and iconic nature of the sign. Always use both hands to tap each palm.
