synoptic gospels‚ Jesus came with his followers to Jerusalem during the Passover festival where a large crowd came to meet him‚ shouting‚ "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the King of Israel!"[19] Following his triumphal entry‚[20] Jesus created a disturbance at Herod’s Temple by overturning the tables of the moneychangers who set up shop there‚ and claiming that they had made the Temple a "den of robbers." (Mark 11:17). Later that week‚ Jesus celebrated the Passover

Throughout the Gospel of Mark‚ Jesus is seen performing miracle‚ which can lead the reader to believe Jesus was a magical and flawless figure. With this‚ the reader holds Jesus to a higher standard of character. In reality‚ Jesus was just like every other human‚ but it is easy to allow the human identity of Jesus to escape the mind. The few instances in the Gospel where we see Jesus angry serve to remind the reader that he his human. In Mark 11‚ we see Jesus overturning the tables of those selling

listed to have the detailed dialogue between the rich man‚ Jesus and His disciples. When the rich young ruler came to Jesus asking what he could do to inherit eternal life‚ Jesus told him to sell all that he had and follow Him. The scripture goes onto to say that the young man went away sorrowing (Mark 10:17-31‚NIV). Jesus used this confrontation to express‚ How hard it is for the ones who have many possessions to enter the kingdom of God. Jesus then states an example for his disciples. "It is easier

provides us with 10 arguments that the Bible is spoken Word from God. I think the most convincing argument that the Bible is the Word of God is the unique revelation of Jesus Christ because it simply puts whom Jesus Christ is and how the Bible clearly states the deity of Jesus Christ. The Bible teaches us that the unique revelation of Jesus Christ is “that the person of Christ existed before Creation‚ that He was the Creator‚ that He manifested Himself in the Old Testament through Christophanies‚ that

Jesus: Messiah or Universal Savior Although the gospels of Matthews and Like are the most similar of all of the canonical gospels‚ they offer different messages and send differing accounts of the figure of Jesus. Matthew calls Jesus the Jewish Messiah‚ while Luke does the opposite. Luke calls Jesus the universal savior‚ and by doing so each writer sets up their gospel to try and explain who they think Christ is by using their writing and knowledge to their advantage. Matthew depicts Jesus to

Jesus Christ Jesus Christ is the cornerstone and foundation for Christianity. He is what separates Christianity from all other religions‚ without Him there would be no such thing as Christianity. Jesus has always been‚ and is eternal. His entrance into the world was not elaborate or a flashy coming fit for a king‚ but rather a humble miracle that could not ever be duplicated. Christ’s humanity and deity were perfectly put together to give the world a Savior. He was fully human‚ but did not sin‚

The resurrection of Jesus is the most crucial part of the Christian faith. If the resurrection were not true‚ then our Christian faith would be meaningless. However‚ the resurrection is not just some myth that Christians choose to believe. Yes‚ we live by faith and believe in the Bible‚ which says that Jesus rose from the grave. However‚ the resurrection is an historical event with a lot of evidence to back it up. Most historians admit that Jesus was a real person and did walk on earth‚ but that

Who is Jesus? There is a question that has been asked many times over the years‚ generation after generation. Who exactly was that strange man who walked on the shores of Galilee so many years ago? It’s such an easy question‚ but it does not necessarily require a simple answer. God in himself is such a complex and mysterious being; it is hard to describe Him in just a couple words. There was so much more to Him than what meets the eye‚ so much more than what can be explained by us fallen

Author’s Perception of Death “The medieval morality play Everyman‚ personifying such abstractions as Fellowship and Good Deeds‚ recounts the death journey of Everyman” (Allegory‚ 2010). The author uses symbolic names for characters to emphasize the moral of the play. “The characters in an allegory often have no individual personality‚ but are embodiments of moral qualities and other abstractions” (Allegory‚ 2010) The author sees death as important as life‚ especially when death comes to makes

Although not very important‚ I took the liberty this past month(Black History) to document my research to the age old question‚ "Was Jesus Black‚" after a small debate with my auntie Angelina Quarterman arguing that He was a Jew‚ and Jews are White(lol). The typical Hollywood image in which ancient Israelites look like fair-haired White Americans is way off the mark. The people of the bible were Semitic(Afro-Asiatic languages) and would have been dark- skinned. The racial emnity & equating Black
