1990 Words8 Pages

Introduction

Jesus is at His last supper with his disciples at a time when the Jews were celebrating the Passover. The Passover is one of the most celebrated Jewish festivals of the year because it brings to remembrance how God saved a people and also piloted the birth of a new nation. God delivered the enslaved Hebrews by night by having them paint lamb's blood on their door lintel, so their families would be passed over by enemies of Egypt. Jesus is informing His disciples that His time to suffer has come. He will usher in a new nation by allowing His blood to be a Passover from the Roman Empire in order to spare many from death. Jesus wants his disciples to understand that this is not the end, but the genesis of a new beginning. He wants …show more content…

Judges were required to judge impartially regardless of the statuses of the accusers (Ex. 23:26; Deut. 1:16-17). To maintain pure justice in settling disputes, the judges were admonished not to accept bribes because bribes blind the eyes of judges (Deut. 23:2-3) . Righteous judges are needed in this Nation Building process in order to have security in knowing that your voice is being heard and justice is administered in such a way that reflects the teaching of …show more content…

Their means to reestablish this kingdom was by the same manipulative means David used with military, propaganda, linage, and religion. The paradigm of Jesus is through the development of people through education in the word of God and relates to newness, innovation, humility, and development of community that sits outside of the administration given by the monarchy. Peter is characteristic of how many religious organization develop themselves. They love God, want to serve Him, and believe that they are willing to die for what they believe. The major difference comes to suffering and humiliation. Peter believed he was willing to go to prison and even death for Jesus. Suffering is not a characteristic of a growing church if your paradigm is based on top down hierarchy where those in authority base their agenda on a show of force, propaganda, lineage, and the use of God's name. The Passion of Jesus points us to lead by serving and through suffering. Jesus develops people, not agendas. Peter and the rest of his tribe would never meet the criteria for leadership in the Jewish religious machine. Jesus makes leaders from these untouchables by developing them through education, example, and passion for God. Jesus was thinking about Peter in years to come when He told him that he would deny Him.

realized his leadership role and responsibilities for a cause greater than that of his single person. The chapter repeatedly mentioned how he had no intention of becoming a prominent leader after his testimony. However, his message and delivery was so powerful and inspirational that he converted his audience to his followers/supporters. I think this clearly shows how people willingly choose their leaders and decide who to follow. I believe a leader’s initial impression or leadership potential/qualities attract the attention of followers, then the followers are the ones who give leaders their influential

When people think of a good judge they typically think of somebody who is fair, not bias and has some sort of experience. However, in today’s society, particularly in the United States, our judicial selection methods are not made to select judges on their ability to reason well and rule impartially (Carter and Burke, 6). On top of that, judges have no actual training before they become part of the judiciary. The only training they receive is in school when they are studying the law. Sometimes when they pursue an apprenticeship with a judge they also get a little bit more experience or insight into a judge’s job.

He wants us to listen to his instruction and teachings. Following the call of Jesus means putting our nets back into the sea even though we are tired and had no success, at first. Following the call of Jesus means being subjected to questioning, again and again, whether we really love God, more than anything else. Following the call of Jesus means the commissioning and re-commissioning of oneself for the task given and entrusted to us a part of His body. And to be more obedient and mindful of our relationship with God and with one another as we continually care, feed and nurture each other, in the ways of Jesus’ life and ministry.

Bono explained it as, “The point of the death of Christ is that Christ took on the sins of the world, so that what we put out did not come back to us, and that our sinful nature does not reap the obvious death.” Assayas responds, “Son of God? Isn’t that farfetched.” To the Jews, Christ was just a great, fascinating prophet. However, Christ didn’t stand for that assumption; He was the Messiah.

It is like Anna comparing how he is now to how he was before made Peter realize that perhaps he is not as different as he thought he was. Deep down, he knows that he has not changed one bit. This realization is what causes him to slip back into that controlling mindset and needing his ego to be boosted by exerting power over Anna. His own insecurity and negativity towards himself and his personality are what make him into a man who is selfish and egocentric, no matter how hard he tries to convince himself that he is no longer that
