    From the most popular book throughout the world comes one of the most commonly known stories in history. One certainly does not have to be a Christian to know or even be familiar with the story Jesus Christ’s Passion, Death and Resurrection. In “Killing Jesus”, Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard give the reader an inside look of what the life of Jesus was like leading up to and during these historic events, as well as the culture and setting of this time period. The audience reading “Killing Jesus” would more than likely classify the book to be more of an informative and historical piece, as oppose to being theological as the Bible is.…

    n chapter 3 of Jesus Behaving Badly, Mark Strauss addresses the issue of Jesus being someone who cures diseases and someone who is angry or loving. Reading this chapter I feel that Jesus is the loving type because he doesn’t reject anyone from knowing him. He wants people to know him and can share the gospel to other people so that when judgement day comes they will go to heaven rather than hell. One verse that stood out to me was Mark 1:33-34, “The whole town gathered at the door, and Jesus healed many who had various diseases.…

    In conclusion, I believe that this story paints an amazing picture of the Second Temple Period that coincides with the lectures and text readings of our New Testament History class. The reader gains a graphic understanding of what life was like for early believers of Christianity and makes one feel very fortunate for the opportunity to freely worship Christ in the society which we live in today. I can only hope to have my life’s works reflect the same devotion to God that the early Christians…

    The Preface of N.T. Wright's book, The Challenge of Jesus: Rediscovering Who Jesus Was and Is, explains what Wright's intent and purposes were for writing this book. Wright's purposes for writing this book was to show who the real Jesus was, what his teachings meant and how they can be applied to the modern society. Wright presumes that Christians go Sunday to Sunday repeating scripture and repeating the same things over and over, not fully analyzing what the text is saying. He claims that people need to analyze who Jesus really was and what his teachings really meant to fully grasp his purpose on Earth and how it affects humans in today's modern society.…

    A verse from Matthew that I truly love is this, “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’” This is in answer to the ‘Righteous’ that ask when did they see Jesus struggling in need of help. We should see everyone, since they are made in the image and likeness of God, as the face of Jesus, and help them as such. This all means that when you hold the door for someone who has their hands full, you just held the door for Jesus. When you help your friend think some things through that they had weighing on them for a while, you were Jesus’ therapist.…

    The Broader Context: The Gospel of Luke In order to best understand how to properly interpret Luke 16:1-13, it is best to first read the passage in light of its surrounding context—the entire book of Luke. In his introduction, Luke clearly states his purpose in writing this gospel: “so that you may know the exact truth about the things you have been taught,” (Luke 1:4). This is Luke 's purpose statement, but what is the truth the Luke is trying to demonstrate? The main theme Luke wants to convey, this “exact truth,” in his gospel is that Jesus of Nazareth is the Messianic Servant to all humankind.…

    Throughout the years the “Passion of the Christ” movies have been used to tell the story about Christ’s death and resurrection. Then in 2004 Mel Gibson made his version of the movie and as I like to say brought it in to the 21st century with updated graphics, violence, and blood. The combination of images, faith, and history this film truly was like no other Passion of Christ movie ever done. The Passion of the Christ is a serious and deep piece of cinematography, it not just show us how much pain one man went through for us but it celebrates for the unbeliever the triumph of humanity over an absolute brutality and through this movie for all the believers of the Christian faith this movie has become a powerful reminder that we still need to…

    Christianity is one of the largest religions in the world. Christians based their faith on Jesus Christ, who is the son of God. In 2004, Mel Gibson directed The Passion of the Christ to show the public who Jesus Christ is and his story of his arrest, trial, and suffering. In today’s world of controversy, the public has different opinions when they first see The Passion of the Christ, such as too much bleeding and doubts of the true reality of what happened to the son of God.

    Jesus’ Loyalty to God All Christians promote and accept the value of obeying God, so Jesus, as his son, is thus held at an even higher standard. Jesus demonstrates his loyalty to God in several ways. Through later verses in his Gospel, the definition of “Son of God” outlines how “Luke understands Jesus’ identity as Son of God in terms of messianic kingship, complete obedience to God’s will, and divine agency.” Luke believed it was necessary to show Jesus fully obeying God. Some of Jesus’ obedience to God is from a human child’s perspective.…
