The Jesus I Never Knew Yancey starts out with the image of Jesus. When he was young he had envisioned Jesus to have angelic features such as‚ young‚ handsome‚ and a compassionate face. It wasn’t until he entered into a Christian college‚ that he was introduced to the real image of Jesus. I had an immediate connection with Yancey. I too had an image of Christ in my head‚ which consisted of Hollywood portrayals and those in classical paintings. It wasn’t till I engaged myself at a Christian

Jesus: Messiah or Universal Savior Although the gospels of Matthews and Like are the most similar of all of the canonical gospels‚ they offer different messages and send differing accounts of the figure of Jesus. Matthew calls Jesus the Jewish Messiah‚ while Luke does the opposite. Luke calls Jesus the universal savior‚ and by doing so each writer sets up their gospel to try and explain who they think Christ is by using their writing and knowledge to their advantage. Matthew depicts Jesus to

Jesus Christ Jesus Christ is the cornerstone and foundation for Christianity. He is what separates Christianity from all other religions‚ without Him there would be no such thing as Christianity. Jesus has always been‚ and is eternal. His entrance into the world was not elaborate or a flashy coming fit for a king‚ but rather a humble miracle that could not ever be duplicated. Christ’s humanity and deity were perfectly put together to give the world a Savior. He was fully human‚ but did not sin‚

misconstrued ideas about Satan and his demons that are not in line with Jesus’ teachings in Scripture. Today the world sees Satan in an almost comical way‚ if they believe in him at all. There is such a lack of belief in anything spiritually supernatural that the idea of demons is less acceptable to today’s society than the idea of ghosts. In Jesus’ time‚ this was not the case; people were well aware of Satan and his activities. Jesus often had to deal with things of this nature‚ and addressed the matter

Women and Pregnancy in Bom Jesus The women‚ men‚ and children that live in Bom Jesus‚ for the most part‚ from the moment they are born have a very hard life. The impoverished women‚ on average during their reproductive days‚ have about 12 pregnancies. Of those pregnancies only about three of the children survive.

The resurrection of Jesus is the most crucial part of the Christian faith. If the resurrection were not true‚ then our Christian faith would be meaningless. However‚ the resurrection is not just some myth that Christians choose to believe. Yes‚ we live by faith and believe in the Bible‚ which says that Jesus rose from the grave. However‚ the resurrection is an historical event with a lot of evidence to back it up. Most historians admit that Jesus was a real person and did walk on earth‚ but that

his non-conformist ideas. Two examples of these poems are The Maori Jesus and Tomcat. In these poems‚ Baxter uses character as a tool to express his ideas. This is done through careful manipulation and development of the audience’s understanding of the two characters‚ then “Maori Jesus” and the “Tomcat”. The Maori Jesus “wore blue dungarees‚ his beard and hair was long”‚ this introduction to the appearance of the Maori Jesus is in the first stanza of the poem and provides the audiences first

Ms. Carolyn M. Rodgers’ “Jesus was Crucified” Write a response to these brilliant authors in 40 to 60 words? Surely you jest. We will begin with Ms. Carolyn M. Rodgers’ “Jesus was Crucified”. Read it‚ and you will know who is narrating. The theme is inequality with an emphasis on the individual elements that led to‚ what I will refer to as‚ “the African-American state of mind”. Evident is the hate toward white supremacy‚ the anger‚ and the acknowledgement that education and can breed the type of

Author’s Perception of Death “The medieval morality play Everyman‚ personifying such abstractions as Fellowship and Good Deeds‚ recounts the death journey of Everyman” (Allegory‚ 2010). The author uses symbolic names for characters to emphasize the moral of the play. “The characters in an allegory often have no individual personality‚ but are embodiments of moral qualities and other abstractions” (Allegory‚ 2010) The author sees death as important as life‚ especially when death comes to makes

Although not very important‚ I took the liberty this past month(Black History) to document my research to the age old question‚ "Was Jesus Black‚" after a small debate with my auntie Angelina Quarterman arguing that He was a Jew‚ and Jews are White(lol). The typical Hollywood image in which ancient Israelites look like fair-haired White Americans is way off the mark. The people of the bible were Semitic(Afro-Asiatic languages) and would have been dark- skinned. The racial emnity & equating Black
