Jesus is also seen as the Word of God in which all this were created. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.” John 1:1-3 (The Holy Bible: The New International Version, n.d.)
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.
It is important to see that even though John
• 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.
Jesus (the Logos) is existed before the creation together with Father (the Theos). Jesus is God itself. He is begotten from God, the Father. While the Father is not begotten from whomever. The Father and The Son have a special relation and in fellowship with each other, the perfect love between them radiates The Holy Spirit.
He is a Puritan who wishes to go to heaven one day. In all, because of John’s will to go to heaven he follows the
Who is Jesus specifically referring too? If Jesus is referring to God, the father, the son and the holy spirit, I understand it, but if he is referring to those who died and lived in earth, this means that John is not such a ‘great’ individual after
Matthew also speaks about the many miracles that Jesus did. What he is known for is healing the sick, crippled, deaf, mute and many more. Over all he was an incredible human that went out of his way to help people and to show that God is with them. Jesus had twelve disciples who went to people and told them about the words of Christ, one of his disciples turned on him. His name was Judas, Judas helped with the capture and arrest of Jesus Christ.
Although he doubts God in the beginning, he begins to question his doubt. In the following quotation, John is worrying about his future if he does not accept God. He begins to believe that God truly is the only way to escape the evil he was born in. ¨Only the hand of God could deliver him.
John’s story is necessary in the gospels because he was clearing the path for Jesus to walk on. Without John in the gospels, Jesus coming would have come to a surprise to all that were in Jerusalem. However, John’s journey was not an easy one to walk. John spent most of his time in the wilderness and not in the glorious capital city of Jerusalem.
Therefore, Christ in us, is the only hope for this world and He is the Kingdom of God. Christ is as much God and Holy Spirit as he is Christ. This means there is one God who infinitely exists as three persons (1 John 5:7), each having entirely the fullness of the Godhead, and entirely the intrinsic nature of God. The three, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are one, in complete unison and
To conclude, the Gospel of John is a refined version of the story of Jesus Christ who takes the role of the son of God to the next level compared to the Gospel of
John present to us that who Jesus is at the very center of the Gospel of John. Carson tells us that the “Son of God” can roughly serve synonymn for “Messiah”. All the Synoptic Gospels wrote that Jesus is the Messiah, and the Son of God. Salvation:
We know that Hamlet is a tragic hero , for various reasons in the play , all the suffering he goes through , the death of his father which had a big impact in his life and the whole play , being the reason why Hamlet wants to get his revenge no matter what , disregarding the consequences There are multiple reasons for Hamlet delaying the death of Claudius. one of these reason being his mental health. After the death of his father, Hamlet becomes very sad and many think that he begins to go insane. Hamlets insanity affects all aspects of his life.
While the other gospels emphasize the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven, John instead emphasizes new life found in Jesus. It’s from John that we get Christ’s famous claim “I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me” -John 14:6. Jesus frequently uses metaphors to hint at his identity. John records more of these analogies than any other gospel, giving us some of the most famous word pictures for Christ.
