The disciples kept watch, while Jesus was talking with God. I saw Jesus start to shake and tremble, I wondered what was happening, it was as if someone was attacking him but know one was there.

It was an agonising walk up the steep hill. I don 't know have Jesus made it through all this pain and suffering. It was now when everyone started to turn away. Jesus was lifted on to the cross that laid on the rocky floor. His arms and legs were spread out over the cross. The soldiers placed the nails on Jesus hands and feet. The aimed and hit hard, piercing the nail straight through the hand and feet. Jesus yelled in anger and fear. Once the nail was logged into the cross, the soldiers immediately raised Jesus up next to two other criminals. At this time all three men were really starting to bleed out. In that time I saw the criminals asking Jesus why his God his father dies not help him. He then spoke individually to his father, asking him for help, but God did not respond. Jesus had used all his strength but could not continue living in this world. Later on that day a huge storm came across the mountain. The soldiers were starting to get scared with most of them running away. The mountain started to shake. The Roman commander told the soldiers to make sure that Jesus was dead. I said to myself not again. The solider did not want to continue with command but had to. So the solider stabbed Jesus in the lower half of the body. Finally the mountain stopped shaking.

God, of course, could have stopped Jesus from being killed, and so Jesus could have if he proclaimed himself as the Son of God.

    Excavating Jesus Summary

    “Excavating Jesus” proved to be a unique blend of ground as gospel, as self-claimed in its introduction. However, after the engaging introduction, filled with facts and fun quips from the authors, the reader was pulled away from the goal of excavating Jesus and towards a textual representation of first century history that no longer focused on the historical Jesus but rather the historical Christian. Written by John Dominic Crossan, an Irish-American Catholic religious scholar, and Johnathan Reed, an archeologist specializing in early Christianity, the authors presented a book as well grounded as their esteemed credentials. Crossan’s pairing with Reed perfectly parallels his relationship with biblical texts, as he evaluates them on strata…

    Due to my working hours, l can’t be there when my son’s come home from school, so my wife will have them call me at work shortly after they arrive. When my son’s and I converse generally we talk about the events of their day. recently my oldest son (13) calls and tells me of a bully who has called him names and my son is asking what he should do, how should he respond? It was during this conversation that the words of Jesus from John 15 ran through my mind: 18 “If the world hates you, [e]you know that it has hated Me before it hated you.19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you.…

    “The announcement of the birth of this newborn king of the Jews greatly troubles not only King Herod but all Jerusalem” (Matthew 2:1-3), yet the Gentile Maji are overjoyed to find him and offer him their homage and gifts (Matthew 2:10-11). This explains how the ultimate rejection Jesus faces from his own people but gains acceptance from the Gentile nations. Jesus must escape the murderous plans of Herod and escape to Egypt where he will relive the Exodus experience in Israel. The angel of the lord appeared in Josephs dream and said, “Rise, take the child and his mother, flee to Egypt and stay there until I tell you (Matthew 2:13). Biblical traditions regarding Moses are applied to young Jesus.…

    In The York Corpus Christi Play: The Crucifixion, Jesus speaks only two times in the three-hundred lines. The rest of the dialogue is between the four soldiers who are attempting to crucify him. There is an odd dark humor among the soldiers while they are crucifying Jesus. More interesting, however, is Jesus’ response to his crucifixion. The first time he speaks his words are directed at God only.…
