6. Some points for crucified Christ as the liberative homiletic:
6.1. Voice for the voiceless:
The voice of the crucified Christ means defending the rights of the poor, having mercy on humble, unimportant people, protecting the weak, and liberating the oppressed. The kingdom in Christ’s name, filled with his Spirit, has to mean caring the rights of the poor, having compassion on the humble, and liberating the oppressed. The transformation of the image of the king into the image of the messiah is part of this dramatic process.
Charles Campbell described that Christ is crucified because his speaks. He refuses to go on silent in the face of the powers of domination, violence, and death. He exposes them and names them for what they are not the

    Wednesday, pgs 105-110: The question was answered to who crucified Jesus and why, but there is one more question that is more spiritual… What was the meaning to all of it? God, of course, could have stopped Jesus from being killed, and so Jesus could have if he proclaimed himself as the Son of God. There is a deeper meaning to Jesus’ Passion and death- he did it for humanity! He died on the suffered and died on the cross so that humanity could be saved from the horrors of death.…

    Jesus is portrayed throughout the bible as unconcerned with money and worldly power. However, the artistic works and the opulence that surrounded them, were in direct contradiction to the basic teachings of Jesus. The early leaders of the church understood the workings of power and persuasion, they crafted the image of Jesus to assert control and influence over the congregation. This is in direct correlation to the accepted religious symbolism witnessed throughout history. The usage of gold upon the image of the peasant king is evidence of the calculated intentional minds behind the mosaic.…

    They painted the crucifixion Jesus as something marked with stupidity and vanity. Through this style of art, inevitable and suffering was exemplified instead of the salvation that the Church taught (Sayre 546). Skepticism plagued not only the common people, but also the aristocrats. The pessimism did not contain itself to the paintings.…

    The understanding of Jesus’ identity and his salvific work have undergone several phases. Many theologians have interpreted who Jesus is and what he did to bring salvation to humanity. Throughout the Gospels we identify elements of Jesus’ stories interpreted and communicated taking into perspective the audience and context as far as the school of Christology is concerned. This chapter is an attempt to answer Jesus’ question, “Who do you say that I am?” from the Akan worldview.…

    Today most people have the tendency to believe everything that they read. Whether they read it from books, magazines, or online, they feel as though because the information was written in a book it has to be true. The information written may not be necessarily true, but even without facts to prove the information, many still find a reason to believe the source. This same concept also applies to what is written in the Bible and the stories of Jesus, such as the way that he lived and the way that he died. In the book, Christianity’s Dangerous Memory:…

    In 1963, God was a long lost figure in American lives, as well as in many lives today. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. a pastor, husband, and loving father, writes a powerful biblically based letter in regards to a statement from a group of white clergymen. In this letter, King uses many strong Biblical allusions and Christian references, to create a sense of guilt in the minds of his readers and the churches of Birmingham, by comparing scripture and spiritual figures, to how the government and clergy should handle racial segregation issues, not only in Birmingham, but in all of America. King writes that, “Just as the Apostle Paul left his little village of Tarsus and carried the gospel of Jesus Christ…I am too compelled to carry the gospel of…

    In the 1950’s and 1960’s many American citizens were fighting for civil rights for African Americans. Among them was Martin Luther King Junior, who was thrown into jail for nonviolently protesting for his God given rights. Passionate and informative, Martin Luther King Junior’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail” letter defends the actions of the protestors and inspires the clergymen and the rest of America to change their views on civil rights. Martin Luther King effectively validates his actions and urges the clergymen and the nation to form a brotherhood through his tone, rhetorical appeals, and rhetorical tools.…

    Here, John the Baptist sets out to prove the supremacy of Jesus to his followers, and to show how vastly superior Christ is to himself. John bases these claims on a few key points, so let’s break them down. First, John tells us that Jesus is superior because he has come “from above,” “from heaven.”…

    This is considered to be the greatest act of redemption in the New Testament when God gave His one and only perfect son to die on a cross so that we might one day live with God for eternity. Jesus spent His life on earth revealing Himself as the Savior of the world to both the Jews and the Gentiles. Jesus performed many miracles; healing the sick and diseased, raising the dead to life, casting out of demons, and controlling nature. By coming from the line of David, Jesus showed that He had control to be the king God had chosen to lead Israel. Through Jesus’ sacrifice, we are able to be reconnected with God in heaven while on earth.…

    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…

    Introduction The concept of “church” was started as the tabanacle where the Ark of Covenent was placed (Old Testament). Then it was transferred into the “Temple building” where people experienced God’s presence. When Jesus came to dwell among people, He was the Temple instead of the building. He confirmed it; “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days” (John 2:19 NIV).…
