Unit 4 Summaries

Luke 10-12 Jesus sends out disciples along with seventy-two others and sends them out in pairs to all the places that he planned to visit. He was sending them out as lambs among wolves. He wanted them to spread the word that the Kingdom of God is near and God wants everyone to obey the laws. Jesus prayer of Thanksgiving; he was filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit. Jesus told his disciples that many prophets and kings long to see what they have seen but they could not see it. Many longed to hear what they have heard but they didn’t hear it. The most important commandment: You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind. And love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus went on to visit Martha and Mary in their home. Jesus began teaching about prayer. His disciples questioned and asked Jesus how should you pray and Jesus responded with Luke 11:2-4. He also reminded that if you keep on asking you shall receive, for whoever asks will receives! Jesus cast out a demon from a man who couldn’t speak, when the demon was gone he was able to speak again. He goes on to saying “This evil generation keeps asking me to show them miraculous signs. He keeps telling them that the only sign he will give them is ‘The sign of Jonah.’ He’s given them signs but they refuse to listen and repent. What will happen to the Son of Man will be a sign to these people that he was sent by God. Jesus criticizes the religious leaders and tell them that this generation will be held responsible for the creation of the world. From the murder of Abel and Zechariah. Meanwhile, the crowds grew until thousands were milling about and stepping on each other. A warning against the hypocrisy. “Beware of the Pharisees---- their hypocrisy.” He told them to fear God because he has the power to kill you and throw you in hell. Parable of the rich fool: “Yes a person is a fool to store up earthly wealth but

    The Case for Christ

    Answers: “The standard scholarly dating is that Acts was written by Luke in A.D. 61-63, because Paul was still living and under house arrest in Rome. Since Acts is the 2nd of a two-part work, we know the 1st part - the gospel of Luke – must have been written earlier than that. And since Luke incorporates parts of the gospel of Mark, that means Mark is even earlier. So if you allow one year for each writing, you end up with Mark written no later than about A.D. 60, a maximum gap of 30…

    Two men approach me and claim that Jesus Christ was a man, but denied his deity. If I were to show them the truth, I would have to explain the biblical basis of Jesus' humanity, deity, explain how he can be both man and God, and explain what this all means to me. First though, biblical explanation of Jesus' humanity is essential.…

    Christ in Discipleship

    • 1717 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Obedience; you cannot be a disciple of Christ without obeying Christ. Bonhoeffer brings a point to light that obedience is crucial to being a disciple of Jesus Christ. He shares an example of obeying Christ. Mark 2:14 (KJV) “And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, ‘Follow me’. And he arose and followed him.” Matt. 9:9 and Luke 5:27-28 are also examples of obedience to Christ: Jesus called Levi, and Levi just got up and followed. Bonhoeffer points out, “The call goes out, and without any further ado the obedient deed of the one called follows. The disciple’s answer is not a spoken confession of faith in Jesus. Instead, it is the obedient deed.” There can be so much speculation about Levi not verbally confessing a faith in Christ, that as readers, we can lose sight of the bigger picture. Jesus Christ called Levi, and without a question, Levi left money and all to follow, the moment Christ…

    The Gospel of Christian is alleged in our traditions in many customs. Most people have the perception that if you are a Christian you feel you are holier than a non-believer. What they do not understand is that, when anyone makes the choice to become a Christian, they make life-long changes in their lives. On several occasions, friends and sometimes family become offended with the choices you make in becoming a Christian. In my life, my wife and I made the decision to become a Christians, we changed everything in our life, including the way we think.…

    There are many places throughout the Bible where mountains play an important role. From the flood, Mount Ararat was the place that the arc settled on when the waters went down. Abraham was told to go up to the top of a mountain in the land of Moriah to sacrifice his son to The Lord. Christ was transfigured on, you guessed it, a mountaintop. In fact, one of the most prolific and well known sermons in the Bible, if not the most well known, is actually referred to as "The Sermon on the Mount".…

    Jesus was extremely committed and he wanted the same commitment from the disciples in return. He wanted them to trust him with every move he made as he took their lives and moulded them into the accordance of his will. A disciple should expect trials and difficulties in this life. Jesus has said a true disciple should not be surprised if he or she is treated poorly. The character of a true discipleship is repentance and occupation, being called to preach, control, example and modesty.…

    The pages of God’s Word highlight biblical characters, including Jesus, who experienced immense trials in their lives. Following the Lord does not exempt a believer from the trials of life. Jesus clearly declared, “In this world you will have tribulations, but take courage, I have overcome the world” (John 16:33 NIV). Christians will indubitably experience the same trials as non-Christians, but Christians should demonstrate a different reaction.…
