saving work of God in his son Jesus Christ. The writers of the four gospels introduced a new literary category into literature. The gospels are not exactly biographies‚ because apart from certain events surrounding Jesus’ birth‚ (Matt. 1-2; Luke 1-2) and one from Jesus’ youth (Luke 2:41-52)‚ they record only the last two or three years of Jesus’ life. Moreover‚ the material included is not written as an objective historical survey of Jesus’ ministry. The gospels present Jesus in such a way that the reader

The Nails of Jesus Being crucified is arguably one of the most torturous ways to die. Before being lifted up‚ the victim would have 5-7 inch spikes driven through the wrists‚ puncturing the median nerve and causing excruciating pain. Death was either caused by loss of blood in conjunction with being scourged or suffocation‚ as the victim eventually became too exhausted in trying to lift himself up to breathe. Even though the nails kept Jesus upright on the cross‚ they didn’t really keep Him there

on the historical Jesus. She starts with Paul‚ as his writing were the earliest accounts of Jesus which were written about 15-25 centuries before the first Gospel. Paul’s strongest argument was how non-Jewish followers of Jesus had Jewish laws. Since Paul relied on early Jesus traditions. Fredriksen compared Paul and Mark‚ due to Mark being the next earliest source on Jesus. While describing who Jesus was‚ Paul stated Jesus as God’s Son‚ while in Mark‚ only the demons knew Jesus was God’s Son and

life has to do with three of His characteristics that make Him Jesus. Prophet‚ confronts; Priest‚ comforts; and King‚ commands. The three perspectives that involve traits that describe Him are : prophet + king - priest = legalistic Jesus‚ prophet + priest - king = moralistic Jesus‚ priest + king - prophet = liberal Jesus. Out of these three I most easily identify with‚ moralistic view of Jesus. The reason why I feel like I view Jesus like this most of the times is because‚ there are times where I

the mind of Jesus‚ what did he think he was doing and what was it all about. Why did a “king” come to serve‚ to be tortured‚ died and eventually resurrected? Very odd indeed. One of the greatest things God has given to us is the power to “choose”. We can go about Sunday after Sunday worshipping the Lord Jesus and praying out to him in our own ways but at the end of the day‚ are we ready to deal with the challenges of the “real life”? Would we question ourselves on the reality of Jesus’ existence

Cherry Chu Teacher Mr Hattam Why was Jesus successful? The founder I have chosen is Jesus. In my opinion Jesus was the most successful founder among all of the other founders because he was able to spread the faith of Christianity to different parts of the world. One of the reasons why I think Jesus was successful is that today there are over 2000 million Christians – largest religion in the world. Christianity began in the mid-1st century in the Middle East‚ which are about 2000 years

Who is Jesus and why does he matter to me? According to Christianity‚ Jesus is called the Lord‚ Leader‚ King of Heavens and Earth‚ Great Provider; but people do not understand who Jesus is exactly for themselves. Jesus is the son of God‚ who martyred himself for God. For the majority of people‚ this question is too complicated to answer. For me‚ he is a Good Teacher‚ the icon of sympathy and humanity‚ and he is forgiving. These qualities are the reasons why he matters to me. First‚ Jesus is a Good

very important for most people‚ as they do not understand what is good. Boaz’s and Jesus’ Hospitality & Lessons I can learn from them Jesus and Boaz are awesome examples of how they demonstrated hospitality similarly and differently and I undeniably could learn a few lessons from them. But when we compare the hospitality of Jesus and Boaz‚ we can see that although both of them redeemed people and gave food to them‚ Jesus ultimately went the extra mile when he redeemed us all from our sins‚ fed thousands

As I listened to the preacher give a sermon about the arrival of Jesus into Jerusalem. I could hardly wait for the event that was going to take place after church. The event was the reenactment of the arrival of Jesus into Jerusalem. According to the bible Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey while the townspeople laid down palm branches in his path (Suzanne 4). The reenactment was only a small part of the Holy Week. The Holy Week starts on Palm Sunday and Ends on Easter Sunday. Throughout the week
