The Birth‚ Crucifixion‚ Death‚ and Resurrection of Jesus In Luke‚ Chapter 2 we learned about the birth of baby Jesus. Caesar Augustus was the ruler at the time‚ and he had ordered a census of the Roman people. Jesus is the son of Mary and Joseph and the cousin of John the Baptist‚ whom was born six months earlier and would lead the way for our future Lord and savior.

“Wheel of Life” Life is like a wheel. Sometimes‚ we are in the top and sometimes if we become unfortunate‚ we are on the bottom. It is a never ending cycle of sorrow and joy.

In the same light‚ modern day saint Pope John Paul II forgave his murderer‚ Mehmet Ali Ağca in Rome in 1981. First‚ I will examine Jesus’s praise of forgiveness on the cross in Luke 23. Next‚ I will compare Jesus’s situation on the cross to that of Stephen in Acts 7. Then

Jesus could have stopped Judas from capturing him‚ which would have spared his life. The fact that this divine human being did not spare his own life just amazed me. Not only was the fact that Jesus didn’t stop his betrayer odd‚ but the fact that it seemed as if he wanted to be sentenced to death. When Jesus was under questioning

Neighbor The way that God‚ our Creator‚ intends for us to live is known by every human being. How God intends for us to live is called God’s will or God’s law; Jesus referred to God’s law as His commandment or word. Jesus taught that it is God’s will for us to love our neighbor. When asked which is the greatest of God’s commandments‚ Jesus replied‚ "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart‚ and with all your soul‚ and with all your mind.

This scenery is nothing like that of Jesus Christ Superstar’s desert setting of nothing but rocks and dirt‚ much like what Jesus would have actually lived through
