    N.T. Wright, in his book Simply Jesus, tells his view on who Jesus was, what he was trying to accomplish in his public career, and why it all matters. He describes that Jesus is much more complex than most people think. Many Christians believe that they know Jesus. Wright argues that Jesus can’t be understood easily. He uses the analogy of the perfect storm to show the complexity of Jesus which consisted of the Roman oppresive force, Jewish expectations, and the wind of God.…

    C.S. Lewis, in Mere Christianity, discusses love throughout but particularly in chapters six, seven, and nine. Lewis talks about how Christians are to practice love through marriage, through forgiving, and through charity. By discussing how Christians are to practice love in these three sense, he also gives a picture of what love/Christ-like love is in his view. His view is different in many ways from other popular secular and religious depictions of love. His love is different than just being in love, specifically within marriage.…

    “Christology for the New Millennium” First, “Christology is the theological study devoted to answering two main questions: Who is Jesus? (the question of his identify) also What is the nature and significance of what Jesus accomplished in the incarnation? (the question of his work).

    -How would you respond to those who object “There are enough churches already? We should concentrate on improving existing churches.” This is something that have thought about since I seen this assignment. Its something that I honestly feel like has its advantages and it disadvantages based on the location in which you are located.

    Jesus Christ came on the scene stating He was God, talking of his ability to forgive sins and his judging of the world. The fact that God is seen by Christians as above and outside of this world, it was shocking to have a man make these claims. An imperative aspect of Christianity is Jesus’ claims to forgive sins. This ability is not the ability that mankind has to forgive each other for the sins we commit against one another, instead Jesus has the ability to forgive all sins of all people as He is God. Jesus offers the only way for us to mend our relationship with God as sinners.…

    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.…

    The theme of love lies at the heart of the Fourth Gospel, pervading every aspect of the book. The Synoptic Gospels focus on the theme as well, but in John’s Gospel Jesus directs his disciples to love God and their neighbor, based on Deuteronomy 6:4–5 and Leviticus 19:18. In John’s Gospel, Jesus’s only command for his disciples is to love one another (15:12), and he assures the reader that God loves those who keep his commandments (14:21, 23). John points to Jesus’s death as an example of the type of love that Jesus expects his disciples to have (cf. 3:16; 15:13). Love in the Gospel of John argues that to understand John’s concept of love requires understanding more than what Jesus taught in the Gospel.…

    Jesus’ identity and purpose has been a great source of discussion and investigation through the years. Although many people do not seem to believe in the importance and legacy of His life, there are many profs and facts that show the meaning of His days physically living in our world. Jesus came to show us the correct way to live and direct our actions towards others. For example, in Matthew 5:43-48, Jesus speaks about loving one’s enemies.
