This is exactly why Christology is so important in this day and age. The consternation and conjecture behind the author’s central three questions (Who am I?
There is one man that seemingly everyone reveres. He displays good-hearted, sacrificial traits, and uses his teachings to better the world. He even has an entire book in his honor. This man is named Jesus. The Bible physically describes Jesus as a semitic-looking man who would not stand out amongst a crowd, but Christ-like figures come in many shapes and sizes.
‘Why Jesus (the Logos) had to be a human?’ Jesus as God had to become a man in order to fulfill the office of mediator, who should be true God and should become true man (Calvin, 2001). 1. Only Christ Jesus can bridge the gap betweem God and human. As in 1 Timothy 2:5 and Hebrew 4:15, Jesus described as same as human but had no sins.
In this paper, I am going to discuss the issue of the death penalty. Christians have been debating against the death penalty for a long time. In the book, Kingdom Ethics: Following Jesus in Contemporary Context, David Gushee and Glen Stassen have established some interesting arguments and key factors that Christians might would like to use to continue their debate against the death penalty. I am going to lay out Gushee’s and Stassen’s arguments and focus on the reasons they give for being against the death penalty. They focus on Christlikeness, Powers and Authorities, Forgiveness, and Mission of the Church.
He was special in his disability but not being a “second Jesus” special; this drove ignorance. Throughout his life, he thought he was more of a miracle than he really should have
Jesus is similar and can testify that He is different from other humans in the world. God, Jesus’ Father, knew that His only Son would be different, in a sense of being born without sin, in order to be the Savior of the
Before Passover, Jesus rides into Jerusalem on a colt. Crowds praised Him, “blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord”. Just before this Jesus performed many miracles. Jesus exhibited divine power and knowledge. He attracted large crowds.
Mark 's Jesus: Jesus in the Gospel of Mark is very human like. The Gospel of Mark tells Jesus 's story in story form (beginning to end) and has meant teachings throughout it. Mark emphasised his human traits and emotions. He showed everyone that Jesus was a Jew, he was poor, gentile, loving and compassionate. He also showed Jesus 's anger and fear, all of these characteristics make him easy to relate to, and acts like a sign of comfort for many.
Revelation 13:16 & 14: 9 says people will receive the mark of the beast in the forehead or in the hand. What does this mean? The forehead represents the mind (Hebrews 10:16). A person will be marked in the forehead by a decision to keep Sunday as a holy day. The hand is a symbol of work (Ecclesiastes 9:10).
A couple thousand years ago in a hospital because Muhammed hit his head and couldn't remember anything about him or his friends. Jesus and Abraham sat in a room and talked about many things. Including who they were, who believed in them, their book, their symbol, and where they went to worship. While they were talking they realized they are a couple things in common as well as things that were different. They realize that everyone who believed in them only believed in them.
In Elizondo Virgil’s article “The Galilee Principle”, it is said that Jesus “became a marginal, Galilee Jew, a village craftsman living with his family…” (273). Jesus was a very humble man who wanted to help and serve the people of the world. In one way Jesus helped his neighbors is by showing them the unconditional love of God. Jesus loved everyone, from the ones who hated and mocked him, to the people that were shunned by society, and even the men who nailed him on the cross. While Virgil was looking into the life and service of Jesus, he came up with what he calls “The Galilee Principle”.
Meanwhile they are different because the events aside from the fact that Jesus was born are all very different. Specifically the infancy narratives differ in particular ways that may cause the audience to question which infancy narrative is more correct. This essay will compare the infancy narratives of Matthew and Luke and will show how the infancy narrative of Luke previews the themes of Luke’s Gospel. The infancy narrative of Matthew occurs in the first two chapters of Matthew’s Gospel.
Jesus went around to save and heal and try to lead others toward the one true God which is his father and he would tell others about God and things. Jesus is the number one top historical figure that has ever been here and. He would heal lots of people like the blind or broken and put them back to normal how they are supposed to be. Jesus would speak to a whole bunch of people and preach then he was taken or arrested.
Although Jesus speaks of “an hour [that] is coming, and is now”, Jesus’s words to the woman are in light of the past, the Old Testament. Jesus is referring to the Old Testament Messianic prophecies, and He is confirming His fulfilment, and even His transcending, of these prophesies. When the woman tries to divert the conversation to the concern of the two different places of worship, Jesus tells her “an hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father…an hour is coming, and is now, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth” (Jn 4:21-23). Jesus is alluding to Isaiah 2:2 as well as Micah 4:1, “the mountain of the house of the Lord will be established as the chief of the mountains, and will be raised
Book of REVELATION, is the last book of the Bible. The word ‘Revelation’ is derived from the Greek word ‘apokalupsis’ which means “a disclosure, or unveiling, and this book unveils Christ and the mystery of His return to earth as the Judge.
