Matthew sees Christ as King of the Jews‚ but also King of the universe and everything in it. The book of Matthew was written with the Jewish people in mind so naturally Mathew portrays Christ as King. The first mention of Christ as King is in chapter two verse two where the Magis’ or wise men came to Jerusalem seeking Christ the child asking the question “ where is he that is born King of the Jews?” This would reflect the fact that Christ was born from the direct blood line of King David and by

The Spanish Christ Baltasar Espinosa is Borges "Spanish Christ." The Gospel of Mark written by Jorge Luis Borges‚ is ironically connected to the life of our Christ. There are many cosmic ironies in this portrayal being made through Espinosa.

Things like: the healthcare system‚ the education system‚ lawmakers‚ their surroundings‚ and even their race is causing

Joshua Marston was extraordinary in his movie debut as director in the film Maria Full of Grace. It was very impressive because nothing seemed to deter him from displaying many serious and important issues going on all over the world. This particular film dealt with many political‚ immigration‚ anti-feminist and cultural issues and that is just to name a few. What really interested me the most about this film is that it is a movie about survival and the various struggles people must confront. His
