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

One miracle that Jesus of Nazareth performed was the healing of a deaf man with a speech impediment. The story of this miracle starts in a crowd where a deaf man comes up to Jesus and asks to be healed. Jesus takes him away from the crowd‚ heals the man‚ and tells him not to inform anyone about Jesus’ healing of him. The man disobeys him and proclaims the goodness of Jesus to everyone. The use of the word “proclaim” in this passage‚ “But the more he ordered them not to‚ the more they proclaimed”

the Life of Christ. Prominence‚ humility‚ suffering‚ and exaltation‚ in that order‚ are themes that happen to both Thor and Jesus. There are many similar relations that connect to both of these people but are presented in different way. Prominence was big in both of the people. Thor was the Norse god of thunder that everyone bowed down to. This relates to Jesus because he is also a high figure that Christians praise and worship. The level of prominence that these two people have is very

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

JOHN 19 So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him: Pilate effectively proclaimed Jesus "not blameworthy‚" so to scourge Him now was a gross bad form. In doing this‚ maybe Pilate figured he could help Jesus‚ and that the horde would be happy with the scourging and ridiculing. Scourged Him: The ruthless demonstration of scourging had three purposes. To begin with‚ it was utilized to beat the detainee as a type of discipline. Second‚ it was utilized to separate an admission from the detainee. At
