The Nails of Jesus Being crucified is arguably one of the most torturous ways to die. Before being lifted up‚ the victim would have 5-7 inch spikes driven through the wrists‚ puncturing the median nerve and causing excruciating pain.

life has to do with three of His characteristics that make Him Jesus. Prophet‚ confronts; Priest‚ comforts; and King‚ commands. The three perspectives that involve traits that describe Him are : prophet + king - priest = legalistic Jesus‚ prophet + priest - king = moralistic Jesus‚ priest + king - prophet = liberal Jesus.

the mind of Jesus‚ what did he think he was doing and what was it all about. Why did a “king” come to serve‚ to be tortured‚ died and eventually resurrected? Very odd indeed. One of the greatest things God has given to us is the power to “choose”. We can go about Sunday after Sunday worshipping the Lord Jesus and praying out to him in our own ways but at the end of the day‚ are we ready to deal with the challenges of the “real life”? Would we question ourselves on the reality of Jesus’ existence

Cherry Chu Teacher Mr Hattam Why was Jesus successful? The founder I have chosen is Jesus. In my opinion Jesus was the most successful founder among all of the other founders because he was able to spread the faith of Christianity to different parts of the world.

very important for most people‚ as they do not understand what is good. Boaz’s and Jesus’ Hospitality & Lessons I can learn from them Jesus and Boaz are awesome examples of how they demonstrated hospitality similarly and differently and I undeniably could learn a few lessons from them. But when we compare the hospitality of Jesus and Boaz‚ we can see that although both of them redeemed people and gave food to them‚ Jesus ultimately went the extra mile when he redeemed us all from our sins‚ fed thousands
