King Jesus Gospel Book Reflection Caley Mays Melody Harper GLST 220-001 16 September 2014 King Jesus Gospel Book Reflection My understanding of the gospel prior to this class was that God sent his only son to earth so that we may be forgiven of our sins. The gospel to me was also about Jesus’ life‚ death and resurrection. As I was growing up I also learned about the great commission. While I learned about the great commission I realized all Christians are required to go out and take

gospel Q and the Gospel of Thomas as gospels of “wisdom”‚ Meyer suggests that both texts indicate that Jesus was the epitome of wisdom‚ neither confirming‚ nor denying his divinity (60-61). Without ever using titles associated with divinity to refer to Jesus and omitting mention of widely believed notions of his virgin birth‚ crucifixion‚ resurrection‚ and the final judgment‚ the author insists that “Jesus in the Gospel of Thomas performs no physical miracles‚ reveals no fulfillment of prophecy‚ announces

Both Judas and Peter betrayed Jesus‚ but in different ways. Peter betrayed Jesus by denying him three times. Peter was asked if he knew who Jesus was three times. All three times‚ Peter said he didn’t know who he was. Jesus said that Peter would deny him three times before a rooster crowed. When Peter denied Jesus three times and heard the rooster crow‚ he cried bitterly. Even though Peter told Jesus that he would never deny him‚ he did so anyway. Judas betrayed Jesus by being bribed with thirty

Share Jesus Without Fear is an energetic book on evangelism. Evangelism‚ has been taught to me differently than the description of the book and Liberty University. Share Jesus Without Fear unloaded the theme of evangelism‚ in a matter that a baby in Christ could put in practice and master the art. William Fay seizes a great testament that adds to the creditability of this work but shares the perfect message of what real evangelism is all about. In Matthew 28:19‚ “Go ye therefore‚ and teach all nations

In the chapters 13 through 17 of John Jesus takes the foreshadowing of his impending sacrifice and uses it at “The Last Supper” to show his love through the washing of his disciples feet. Within the text‚ Jesus is explaining why he is giving up his life while not saying that he is doing such. Jesus explains in John (15:12-17) “This is my commandment: love one another as I love you. No one has greater love than this‚ to lay down ones’ life for one’s friends…..This I command you: Love one another”

My favorite bible verse is John 14:17 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. To me this reminds me that Jesus is my savior and I have the gift of sacrament and eternal life. This gives me peace and hope. In a world of bad news and stressful events he tells us to not be afraid‚ that he will take care of us ultimately. He tells us he does not give like the world; we cannot “earn his gifts”

of the Gospel Mark which we already studied in class. Matthew portrays Jesus very differently than Mark did. It starts off with how we learn about Jesus. In Mark’s Gospel‚ we first learn about Jesus with his baptism. However‚ with Matthew we start with the birth of Jesus. It talks about how Joseph is visited in a dream and told not to leave Mary for being pregnant. Then it talks about the three wise men visiting Herod and Jesus‚ and an angel telling Joseph to flee to Jerusalem. It then goes into Jesus’s

Jesus has a great love for his people and wants to bring them to him so that they could go with him to heaven. Throughout his lifetime‚ Jesus performed many miracles. Even John wrote that there had been so many miracles that no book could contain them all. However‚ Jesus did not use these sensations to show how great and powerful he was. He used the miracles to show the people around him what he is the Messiah and he is the man the Old Testament wrote about. He did not need to perform these

from interviewing individuals who knew Jesus personally (Bible‚ 684). One of the greatest individuals who Luke interviewed was Christ’s mother. As a result of these interviews‚ Luke includes many stories about women and money (Bible‚ 645). Luke‚ a Gentile himself‚ aims to prove to other Gentiles that Jesus is the universal Savior of all men. He accomplishes this goal by telling personal stories from interviewees’ perspectives‚ mentioning the story of Jesus proclaiming Himself as the Messiah‚ and
