hour beyond the supper’s sharing. Into this darkness Jesus slowly stumbles: the lonely Savior. That broken bread and cup of wine completed‚ he with their hymn descends into the garden‚ a shade of prayer and solitude and anguish: our longing Savior. In silence at the brutal inquisition‚ the searching for some reason to deny him‚ where anger‚ fear‚ uncertainty abound – there‚ stands the Savior. Alone among the mocking voices‚ Jesus feels lash‚ and thorns‚ the cross‚ sheer isolation

account of Jesus’ baptism and the temptation that followed. Matthew’s Gospel gives a very detailed account of these events. Mark’s introduction only has fourteen verses. He skipped the first thirty years of his life‚ and went straight into writing about the beginning of Jesus’ public ministry. Mark begins his Gospel with “The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ‚ the Son of God.” It’s not referred to as the Gospel of the Kingdom as it is in Matthew. Marks eliminated most of Jesus’ early life

William Shakespeare. He wrote 154 sonnets‚ which were published as “SHAKE-SPEARES SONNETS” in 1609. Out of the 154‚ “Sonnet 130” is the most famous about love. In this poem‚ the poet shows that true love goes beyond physical beauty. Shakespearean sonnet is written in three quatrains and a couplet. The quatrains lay down the conflicts and a couplet offers the resolutions. “Sonnet 130” compares the poet ’s mistress to images normally associated with beauty during the Elizabethan period.

similar to Jesus in the way Isaiah preached God’s word like the way Jesus did. God asked that everyone believed in Him and that he was the creator of Earth. However‚ some people didn’t believe so like Jesus‚ Isaiah told stories to all different people and communities to make them try and believe in God. Isaiah and Jesus both performed wonderful miracles. Isaiah sent a blind man from birth to the river to wash and his sight was restored by Isaiah. Jesus also healed a man who was born blind and Jesus spat

the second coming of Christ‚ because his life decisions and personality so reflect that of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Through his relationship with his kids‚ the readers see his good heart and wisdom‚ but most of his strong character traits come out in the trail of Tom Robinson. It takes much character‚ bravery‚ and selflessness to defend someone else’s character while putting one’s own at risk. Both Jesus and Atticus did this‚ the two of them let people mock and scorn them‚ so that they could redeem

What Jesus means to me Jesus has transformed the lives of many‚ including me. To some people‚ he is a story‚ just a legend. But to me‚ he is a King‚ a Savior‚ but most of all‚ he’s my best friend. I’ve heard people talk about Jesus like he’s some kind of made up story‚ or even a joke. Also‚ a name to say when they slam their thumb in the door. They don’t seem to realize that he’s as real as the person sitting right next to you. I can talk to him‚ explain my day‚ and you know what’s great? He’s

manifested two opposing opinions: Jesus Christ and Aristotle. Both have defined virtue in their own terms‚ and this essay will compare these definitions and ultimately confirm their inherent differences. In the end‚ if given the chance‚ Aristotle would not approve of Jesus’ conception of virtue/excellence due to their conflicting views on the intention of action and defining virtue. In order to prove the dissimilarities of these men we will first examine the values of Jesus Christ‚ then later move on to

God’s plan for Salvation of His people. The book of Joshua shows the difference between living a life‚ like Moses‚ under the Law of the Old Testament and under the freedom‚ which came from Jesus Christ‚ as Joshua did. One could certainly make a strong case that Joshua 1-6 can be looked at as a metaphor of Jesus Christ and man’s salvation through Him. The evidence ranges from Joshua’s name to the meaning of the Jordan River. The implications would mean that God was discretely showing the Israelites

Mark’s passage titled “Peter’s Confession about Jesus” portrays a message that teaches us that the people whom you are closest with‚ such as your friends and family members‚ are the only ones who truly know you enough to judge what type of person you are. Peter considered Jesus to be the Messiah‚ yet those who didn’t know Jesus on a personal level only thought of him as being something similar to a prophet. After Jesus asked what people said of him‚ his disciples replied “John the Baptist‚ others
