Jesus and the Dignity of Women From the beginning of Christ’s mission‚ women show to him and to his mystery a special sensitivity which is characteristic of their femininity. It must also be said that this is especially confirmed...not only at the Cross but also at the dawn of the Resurrection. The women are the first at the tomb. They are the first to find it empty.

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.

Christianity began in the mid-1st century in the Middle East‚ which are about 2000 years

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.

ressurection of Jesus Christ is an event that occurs in the New Testament where Jesus‚ God ’s only son‚ is crucified‚ buried‚ and three days later rises from the dead.

What Jesus Means to Me Jesus—perhaps the most discoursed name in history. He has transformed and influenced many lives including mine. To some people‚ He was a prophet. To others He is a mere legend. To me‚ he is a father and a friend‚ but most of all‚ He is my Lord and Savior through justification‚ sanctification‚ and redemption. First of all‚ Jesus is my Savior through justification. Justification by faith is being attributed by God as righteous‚ even though we have sinned‚ and are therefore

If the resurrection never happened‚ then there would be no Christianity‚ as the Apostle Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15:14‚ "And if Christ has not been raised‚ our preaching is useless and so is your faith." This is why opponents of the Christian faith have tried to attempt

God for answers I decided to talk about the following three topics: “Did Jesus Claim to be God?”‚ “Did Jesus need to be born of a virgin?”‚ and “What can your local church do to better communicate Gods love to your community?” There are many questions and concerns about these topics. Although there are a lot of debatable questions it is clear to see that Jesus did claim to be God. Did Jesus Claim to be God Jesus never said in the Bible “I am God”. He did however say in John 10:30 “I and
