There are many faces of heroes, but the story of Jesus Christ is known as “the greatest story ever told”. The whole life of Jesus was his adventure; his life was for the life of others. Through his existence as a man the hero 's journey of Jesus Christ depicts the most self-sacrificing adventure know to literature by his humbleness, love, and resurrection.
In the first stage of the hero 's journey is the departure stage showing the humbleness of Jesus. Jesus humbly leaves his throne and becomes lower than the angles to become a man. His call to his adventure was through his birth and even though he may have known his fate before he was born, his calling lets his audience know that through his faithfulness of the adventure the lives of others …show more content…
During the road of trials, Jesus goes through several trials that attempt to convict Jesus of crimes against the Jewish Law during which he was treated with hatred and mocked (Luke 23:11). During the trials governors Pilate and Herod found Jesus not guilty of any crimes, but the crowds continue to protest and declare that Jesus “stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, from Galilee even to this place.” (Luke 23:5). Their shouts of injustice prevailed so their demands were granted and Jesus was sentenced to be crucified. These events show the road of trials because they lead the path to the cross and are essential for Jesus to fulfill his adventure. Even after the beating, being mocked, and while he on the cross, Jesus in a profound love says “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do” (Luke 23:34). This would be when Jesus meets with the goddess because for anyone to go through that type of excruciating pain and mental abuse and still ask for the forgiveness of others is only driven by an infinite love. While Jesus is crucified the crowd continues to mock his godliness by shouting to him “…you who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself, and come down from the cross!” (Mark 15:29-30) and “…He saved others; he cannot save himself”. The crowd, chief priests, and scribes tempted him many times by these things because Jesus …show more content…
The refusal to return is shown through the three days Jesus remained in the grave. Even though this is not a complete refusal, the three days fulfil the scripture “for just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth”(Matthew 12:40). After his three days in the grave, Jesus resurrects allowing Jesus to return to Earth he neither needed aid, rescue, or to flee from anything. He did not run away with the boon, but resurrected to give “…commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. He presented himself alive to them after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God” (Acts 1:2-3). Through the reassurance and spreading of the awareness of the resurrection of Jesus it aids Jesus to insert himself back into the confused, grieving, and weak faith believers. Of all the heroes, Jesus made the most humble and fascinating reappearance. He humbly returns to Earth and commences to interact with the visitors, and his disciples. After the forty days Jesus masters the two worlds by returning to his Father and promises the Holy Spirit. Through the Holy Spirit, Jesus influences life on Earth while maintaining his throne in
