Could you imagine someone living their life perfectly and then dying for you because how much they love you? In the bible, Paul wrote, “God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us (NIV, Romans 5:8).” Jesus had lived a perfect life, committing no sin and doing nothing wrong. Not only was he perfect but he had committed many miracles while living here on earth. Just a couple of miracles he presented are; turning water into wine, calming the storm in the sea and feeding 4,000 with 7 loaves of bread and a few fish. When he turned water into wine, he was at a wedding and they had ran out of wine, he told the servants to fill the jars up with water and when they took the wine to the master of the banquet, the …show more content…

The life and the teachings of Jesus Christ are the motivations for christians. He was not selfish at all, he would always put others before himself. For instance Jesus had washed his disciples feet in John 13-14. Simon Peter did not want Jesus to wash his feet because he knew Jesus is Lord, he thought that he should be washing Jesus’ feet, not the other way around. Once he finished washing all their feet he said “Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet (John 13:14).” This did not literally mean for them all to wash each others feet but instead it was comparing washing of feet to forgiving and baptising others as Christ has. Jesus said “Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many (NIV, Matthew 20:28).” He was not put on earth to be served by us, but to serve his God and set an example for all of the …show more content…

He had committed no sins while he was here on earth and yet he died the death of a murderer and robber. The Romans had took Jesus to Pilate to put him to death. When they went to Pilate, he could not find anything wrong with Jesus to crucify him, Pilate asked the crowd who should be released; Jesus, the perfect man that committed no sins or Barabbas, the murderer and robber. All the crowd said “Release Barabbas!” and Pilate asked the crowd what should happen to Jesus and they had all yelled “Crucify him!”. Then he handed over Barabbas and sent Jesus to be crucified and flogged. Flogging is to beat someone with a whip or stick as punishment or torture. Crucifixion is the execution of a person by nailing or binding them to a

“Love your neighbor as yourself.” This command, given by Jesus’ in Mark 12:31, tells everybody love others just as much as themselves. David Malter, a very Christ-like character from The Chosen, by Chaim Potok, puts this command into practice. He exemplifies many of Jesus’ most valuable character-traits. Although Mr. Malter does not believe that Jesus is the Messiah, he still follows many of his commands without even knowing it.

Compassion plays an important role in our daily lives. It allows us to show love to others through acts of kindness. Anyone can demonstrate compassion, but true Christians show it the best.

There are only a few people in this world who are truly good inside and out. Some may appear to have benevolent hearts, but deep down inside there are beasts. All philanthropic and compassionate people will cease to exist in survival situations because all people are savages underneath the norms of society. One example of a pure heart during times of hardship is Jesus Christ. Christians believe that Jesus died for their sins on the cross and therefore is viewed as a selfless figure.

When Pilate saw that he was not succeeding at all, but that a riot was breaking out instead… he handed him over to be crucified” (Matthew 27:24-26). Several accounts in the Bible verify that Pontius Pilate’s decision to crucify Jesus was a selfish one. His decision was made to please, not to be just. Even 2000 years ago, reputation was of utmost importance. Honor and reputation cause even the most highly educated and powerful people to act irrationally.

It is said that a Christian forged the Testimonium Flavianum in the name of Josephus. Other than that, Josephus only shows indication of a Jesus once in reference to his brother, James. Even early Christians were unsure of when and where Jesus was bon and buried. No authors discuss the unbelievable happenings that allegedly followed during Jesus' resurrection, and, there are no records of Jesus being crucified in the first place. This is despite there being multiple historians of the time who kept extensive records of events in that era, especially of unusual events and the errors of rulers.

Seemingly, both men are simply following the wishes of the divine. Jesus has been sent down to Earth by the Lord to “save his people from their sins” [Matthew 1: 21]. His entire life is devoted to spreading the word of God, and he is ultimately crucified so that all have the opportunity to live in the Kingdom of God. Throughout the Gospels, Jesus is constantly giving thanks to the Lord and reminding those around him that the miracles that are being performed are done so out of God’s grace.

He is a perfect example of God not only forgiving anyone no matter how far gone you are through Jesus’ blood, but also shows us that God can use literally anybody, even a fisherman, to make a difference in the world. 2 We see Peter in Luke 22, denying to know and be a follower of Jesus, whom loved Him very much, and considered Him like a brother. Yes, while this is a tragic mistake, everything happens for a reason and Jesus even predicted this. By Jesus being rejected on this night, we can identify with Jesus having the spirit of rejection, as so many times we often feel.

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

The crucifixion of Jesus Christ was and is a miraculous, horrible, and amazing thing all in one. Jesus was created by God, His father, and placed into Mary’s womb to be born as a sinless man. From the time that Jesus was placed in Mary, God knew His plan for Jesus and what He would have to do one day. God knew when he spoke man into existence that we would be sinless creatures in need of an almighty Savior. Even though I, and many others, hate to think about what our Savior went through, I believe it is important.

10:1f). in other words, it was on the cross where human sin was paid for, henceforth, man stands forgiven in the eyes of the righteous God and because of that event of crucifixion man’s eternal punishment was lifted (Isa.53:1-12; Col.2:14; 1 peter 1:18). Precisely, as Jesus took upon himself the sin of the world and died on the cross (John 1:29), the world found it’s righteous in him (1 Cor. 5:21; Eph.1:7). In all these we see the infinite love of God been displayed, (Hebblethwaite,
