What Was Jesus's Purpose

Selection I: Method is People
It all went underway when Jesus called a few ordinary kinsmen to follow him. His apprehension was not with agendas, but with the ordinary men who the flocks would follow. The primary objective of Jesus ' plan was to recruit people who may bear witness of his life and continue to do his work after he returned to the Heavenly Father. These initially converts had little instantaneous effect on the spiritual life of that day, but their daily life, would have a large bearing thru eternity. Not one of the men Jesus chose appeared to be crucial people. They were not the elite for the synagogues, neither were they educated or prosperous. They were "unlearned and ignorant" (Acts 4:13), nonethelesss Jesus recognized possibilities

The supporters comprehended that they were keeping a law, as well as were reacting to the one that adored them and who was eager to provide for himself for them. His life was of dealing out what the Father had provided for him. Adoration is similar to that. It is continually doling itself out. He lost no chances to urge his supporters the profound impulse of his own spirit ablaze with the affection for God for a lost world. All that he did and said was inspired by his devouring energy. The steady reestablishing of his sanctification to God through adoring administration to others constituted Jesus ' purification. He ceaselessly gave his life "for their sakes". His purification then was not to profit himself, however it was for his teaches, that they may "be blessed in truth". That is to say, in offering himself to God, Jesus offered himself to those about him so that through his life they may come to know a comparative responsibility to the mission for which he had become truly alive. His entire evangelistic arrangement depended on this devotion, and thusly, the loyalty with which his devotees provided for themselves in affection to the individuals about them. They were to give as openly as they had gotten. Such an exhibition of adoration through the supporters was to be the way that the entire earth realize that the Gospel was genuine. Jesus made it undisputable that his life was interceded just through the Holy Spirit. In like manner, it was the Spirit that managed and fed the changed life of a pupil as he kept on growing in information and grace. By the same means it was confidently the Spirit of God that empowered one to stand on the redemptive mission of evangelism. Evangelism is the word of the Spirit; all the understudies were asked to do was to let the Spirit have complete charge of their lives. The way that these men were of the regular parcel of humankind was no impediment whatsoever.

    As Rebecca Manley Pippert says, “Our message is not that we have it all together. Our message is that we know the one who does.” Therefore, evangelism is displaying love for those whom Jesus loves, identifying with them, and pursuing them with the gospel. Furthermore, one’s message and ministry to the lost is not that which has the power to save them.…

    This chapter talks about how Jesus wanted to end the in place kingdom model, and wanted to bring God's kingdom model into actuality.

    In today’s world, religion is often a subject where one is encouraged to tread lightly, where constructive criticism has seemingly lost its place to passionate claims of heresy. Thus, it is only fitting that a book co-written by a self-proclaimed modernist, in Marcus Borg, and an undeniable traditionalist, in N.T. Wright, takes the form that we see in The Meaning of Jesus Christ: Two Visions. Each section of the book is broken down into two separate chapters; one written through the viewpoint of Marcus Borg and one as seen by N.T. Wright. What results is a seemingly flawless representation of what the discussions about Christianity should look like when taken from the various independent sects of the larger religion. This book showed its readers…

    They follow him some because they stand in need of healing, others because of the miracles they have seen him perform. While the multitude is making its way, Jesus arrives in Tiberias, goes up to the mountain, sits down and begins to talk with his disciples. Here is where we notice our first major difference in John’s account of this event in comparison to the other gospel writers. All the other writers talk here about Jesus having compassion on the crowd because they are like sheep with no shepherd. He takes the time to talk to the crowd and teach them many things.…

    Baptism Rituals enact through celebration, sharing, obedience, submission, purification and movement bridging belief and practice. I agree with that statement as many rituals involve a form of celebration, for example baptism; celebrating the purification of sins and the submission of one’s life to God and obedience as your vowing your complete compliance to God and opening yourself for the holy spirit. It is a sacred belief that has been practiced by many people and cultures. Baptism is a ritual that represents the cleansing and purification of one’s soul from sin and accepting God into your life. This act is achieved by the complete immersion in water.…

    In the Book of Act it is made clear by Peter that worshiping a man is prohibited. Peter tells Cornelius when he falls at his feet to stand up he is only a man. God smites Herod for not giving Him the glory. If Jesus was just a man sent by God and not God, he would have corrected the ones who gave him worship. It was made clear by Jesus at the beginning of His ministry who should receive worship and it was only God.…
