Share Jesus Share Jesus Without Fear- Critique Abstract Christianity is declining in America at an alarming rate. Our nation is suffering morally and spiritually with no differentiation between Christians and lost people. Christians are committing the sin of silence and are putting their lamps under a basket instead of sharing the Gospel message. Without Christians dutifully carrying out the mandate of the Great Commission‚ millions will never know that there is hope in Jesus. It is my conviction

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

John Berger’s “Ways of Seeing” John Berger’s “Ways of Seeing” examines points of view in art through an in-depth analysis of artistic perspectives‚ how it is interpreted‚ and the impact of reproductions in today’s modern society. Berger’s explanation of reproductions and how art is interpreted differently than in the past is valid because only the artist will know the true meaning of his work and be able to portray it effectively. Pictures are the best way to communicate a point. Some things that

He basically tries to convey the message set forth in the Bible regarding the laws to be followed and the role that Jesus played as a prophet. I was impacted by the acknowledgement that Jesus was not a methodical teacher. He was not like the others in the sense that he preached to the people‚ and just expected them to do as he said. Jesus had a very unique way of teaching to his disciples. Instead of

events occurred during the six week period. The event at Nanjing is called many names such as rape‚ massacre‚ battle‚ or invasion. It is still debated on the appropriate term to be used to describe the event at Nanjing. A massacre would be the most appropriate term for the next textbook for ninth graders to describe the event at Nanjing because the Japanese army murdered about 300‚000 Chinese people whereas the amount of Japanese killed could not even compare.

The Jesus I never knew is an interesting book. There are many insights about Jesus throughout chapter 1. Throughout‚ chapter 1 the author and I both agree on similar things such as us studying the gesture and words in the gospel but we can’t see Jesus in the flesh. We live too far away from God‚ both distance and era. Another thing I agreed with the author is “Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them was written down‚ I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the

To what extent was Jesus’ attitude towards outcasts a departure from Judaism? From reading Luke (bible) we can see that some of Jesus’ attitudes towards outcasts demonstrated a departure from Judaism. In Judaism in particularly in that time period it was wrong for a person deemed “unclean” which implies diseased or not of a Jewish background to make contact with a chosen one (Jew).

Essential Question: Why did Jesus teach in parables? A parable is a simple story used to illustrate a moral or spiritual lesson‚ as told by Jesus in the Gospels. Jesus used parables to illustrate divine truths making the stories easy to remember. Parables were common when teaching in Judaism and may also be why Jesus used them often.

about Jesus Christ. The Jesus I Never Knew is a thrilling‚ difficult‚ and fulfilling book that compels the reader to examine their preconceptions of Jesus Christ‚ and see how it aligns with The Holy Bible. In this book‚ Yancey brings the reader alongside himself in a journey of rediscovering who the Jesus of the Bible really is.
