Jesus Genealogy

177 Words1 Pages
Jesus Christ lineage is presented in these two biblical chapters, Luke 3:23 and Matthew 1:6. I find extremely disturbing and interesting these two version of Jesus genealogy. Both texts agree that the ancestry of Jesus is traced to David (a common name) and they both only mention male names (with few exceptions). The main difference, Matthew begins to trace the genealogy from Abraham and moves down to Jesus while Luke goes backward from Abraham to Adam. Some of the discrepancies could be due to the fact the Matthew was writing for Jews and his goal was to prove that Jesus had the legal right to inherit the throne of David and that Luke was witting for a bigger audience and was tracing Jesus physical descent which will prove that Jesus is not

In chapter 3 of Speaking of Jesus, Carl Medearis talks about what it means to own Christianity. He says "If we don't truly know what the gospel is, we have to find an explanation for Christianity." Meaning that if we do not know what the gospel is or what it is teaching us, then we try to define it by our own standards, and that is where it gets messy. Medearis talks about how Christianity is more than a religion, but it is a relationship and people tend to not understand that. He explains why people are so defensive and put up their guards towards Christians, because Christians can be so judgemental.

Gianna Lanzi REL-2004-01 Dr. Moses November 16, 2017 The Jews in the Gospels Thesis I believe that Norman Beck’s article gave off more information regarding the issue of the jews in the gospel, therefore he was right when discussing his argument. Norman Beck was right when he was talking about how it’s not uncommon for new religions to overtake or eliminate their antecedents.

• Jesus is an unavoidable and deeply mysterious figure. We do not know as much about Him as we would like to know. This can make it difficult to grasp what Jesus was about. People found him confusing in His own day and the same is true today. • One major reason we have trouble understanding Jesus is that His world is strange and, to many Westerners, foreign.

In general, it is safe to say that Luke provides greater detail than Matthew did, beginning with Mary’s role in the story. An angel had indeed appeared to Mary before she became pregnant, informing her of how she had been chosen to bear the Son of God. A few days later, Mary visits her cousin, Elisabeth, who at that time was 6 months pregnant with John the Baptist. After spending nearly 3 months with Elisabeth, Mary returns home. Because a census had been mandated, everyone was forced to return to their own ancestral towns.

Imagine a world where people look down on a person based off gender. Where everything a person does is constantly objectified, sexualized, and restrained from doing what is in their will. In the memoir The Woman Warrior by Maxine Hong Kingston, a girl is trying to find her identity in the midst of two completely different cultures. Each myth that is included in this memoir, has a meaning, they inspire Kingston to want to do better. In the Chinese culture, women are things, not people, it is believed that they are a female should always have a male by her side to be able to do something.

Matthew begins with “The Genealogy of Jesus”. Similarly Luke’s Gospel contains Jesus’ Genealogy as well. But, unlike Matthew, Luke includes the genealogy in the third chapter of Luke’s Gospel. The Genealogy is perhaps more important to Matthew because it serves as evidence of who Jesus is and why he would be significant. The genealogy is specifically placed before any of the miracle events.

God planned for Jesus to take on the burdens of original sin from humanity and carry them with him on his cross. Jesus provides everyone with salvation through his Death and Resurrection. The books of the Acts of the Apostles and many letters in the New Testament usually categorize Jesus in one of three metaphorical explanations: the Suffering Servant, the Paschal Lamb, and the ransom for many. In the book of Isaiah, many passages describe a suffering servant of God to save people from their sins. This connection can easily be made with Jesus.

BRAVE NEW WORLD: GLOBALIZATION AND ITS CONSEQUENCES Abstract Globalization in the twenty-first century has produced an explosion of capitalist opportunities, positive resources available for usage by the global market, and with substantially negative outcomes when used for evil purposes. Since the mid to late nineteen-eighties, globalization has taken the trade market by storm. Individuals and groups alike through the use of their own creativity and ingenuity have created products for positive use for all mankind. Products designed, created, built, and tested in some of the most remote places in the world. Globalization as a process was facilitated by the liberalization of trans border transactions by the dilution sovereignty.

The story from the gospel of John, in which Jesus tells his disciples to cast their fishing nets off the right side of the boat; illustrates the moral dilemma that we are currently facing today, albeit not the way Christians would perceive. In this story, Jesus' disciples were unsure of what to do after his crucifixion and some of them had decided to go fishing one day. As Jesus' resurrection was unbeknownst to them, the disciples did not recognize Jesus was standing on the shore when he asked if they had caught anything yet, which they had not. So as an act of providence, Jesus commanded them to cast their nets on the right side of the boat where they had caught so many fish, they could not pull the net back in, instantly recognizing their

Question:"Consider the figure of Jesus in the Gospel of John, the Gospel of Thomas, or the Infancy Gospel of Thomas. Who or what is Jesus, in the Gospel that you have selected?" When studying the Gospel of John, Jesus is identified as the Son of God because the metaphor of the Lamb is used, Jesus Christ is mentioned instead of Jesus of Nazareth and Jesus acknowledges himself to the world as the Son of God. In the Gospel, the Lamb of God is referenced multiple times and distinguishes a sacrifice is in the mist. The reader consciously knows Jesus is God’s only son, nevertheless making the role of sacrifice an even harder burden to carry.

Genealogy is the study of families and their lineage, and many individuals are applying this science to the study of their own family ancestry. Once they use genealogy to find the link, they can then learn more about the lives of their ancestors, which allows them to learn more about themselves. Many individuals are quite amazed at what they find out about their lineage. They may find that they are descendants of kings, dukes, and historical figures. Others may find out that they are descendants of individuals who were poor and they find that their family overcame extreme adversity.
