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

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 and gave us promises of his love

Cornelius I like good people and nearly all my life I have been around good people. Oh‚ I have known a scalawag now and then‚ but most of the people I have known have been very fine people and I have enjoyed being with them.

And I enjoy reading those books. But‚ the best man that I have ever read

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

In Isaac Asimov’s “The Last Question”‚ the problem of entropy and its effect on humanity is addressed but never has a solution. Time simply starts over again when the universe has died off. The exploitation of one thermal resource after another never turns out to be sustainable in terms of entropy.

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.
