“Do to others as you would have them do to you. For if you love those who love you‚ what credit is that to you?”(Luke 6:31-32) What credit does one truly receive from helping those who have always helped them? In what way does that benefit the community? Jesus asked this trivial question in an attempt to relay the epitome of the Kingdom of God. Many spend a whole lifetime searching for the true meaning of Jesus’ teachings on the Kingdom of God. The 21st century mind cannot comprehend the true impact

The gospel message is the news of Jesus Christ coming to the earth‚ dying‚ and rising from the dead for the atonement of our sins. According to the webster dictionary the gospel is “the teaching or revelation of Christ.” “Gospel” is the translation of the Greek noun euangelion “good news‚” and the verb euangelizo‚ meaning “to bring or announce good news.” Both words are derived from the noun angelos‚ “messenger.” In classical Greek‚ an euangelos was one who brought a message of victory or other political

The gospel of Mark is believed to be the earliest of the Gospels‚ and is considered to be based on the oral and written traditions of the community of Jesus’s time. Therefore‚ Mark’s account of Jesus’ healings in Capernaum can indeed be traced to stories of the actual events by people who witnessed these occurrences.

Jesus’s Behavior as Seen in the Gospels While reading the gospels a lot is learned about Jesus and who He is‚ not only through the principles He was teaching about‚ but also from His behaviors and focuses.

Analyse the meanings in a sacred text within a religious tradition. Out of the four biographies of Jesus that have been preserved in the New Testament‚ the Gospel of John is the latest-written. In this report I will be analysing this Gospel in both a literary and thematic point of view. “What was John trying to get across?” and “What is the meaning behind Jesus’ miracles?” are two of the key arguments I am going to make. The book of John contains a narrative history about the mystery of the identity

The Gospel of Luke was written after the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 AD. Therefore‚ Luke didn’t witness anything that God did‚ instead he wrote his Gospel based on the words and stories told by people at that time. The Gospel starts off with Luke stating that he is giving “an orderly account” (Luke 1:3). Jesus travels to Jerusalem and along the way he attracts the attention of many different groups of people. Through the relationships he forms with his disciples‚ the crowds‚ and

The Function of the Journey in Matthew Arnold’s Poetry We can see that much of Matthew Arnold’s poetry contains the imagery of a journey.
