    Upon reading the given reading from Mark Powell revealed several in points of interest on the topic of Christology. I discovered that Jesus as the central figure of the New Testament is spoken of in two different ways: The New Testament tells of a man names ‘Jesus’ who lived in Galilee and who said and did many remarkable things before being crucified. This representation is known as the earthly, historical figure of Jesus. And the New Testament also speaks of Jesus as an exalted, eternal figure, seated at the right hand of God and dwelling in hearts of those who believe in him. This distinction is important, as I did not know there was a difference and just how vital it is to be able to identify how Jesus is spoken of.…

    The Gospel of John’s author compiled a “Book of Signs” because John viewed the miracles that Jesus performed as a sign (Harris, 2014). Also, our textbook states that these signs provide evidence that John's hero has unearthly powers. A significant example of the signs was the conversation between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well. She thinks that Jesus is a prophet and takes it upon herself to learn all she can from him.…

    Jesus was known as being the man who went against the ‘norm’ when he saw something that was unjust, he did what he thought was right and ignored what others thought as they just stood by and ignored the bad things in the world that needed fixing. Jesus didn’t care who he was helping and whether or not he would be judged by others if he helped people who didn’t fit into society, he believed that you should help others above yourself no matter who they are or what they have done, he believed it was better to help others and be humiliated by the general public instead of not helping. These actions this relate to a quote from the Philippians 2:3 - “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,”.…

Though these accounts may have their own way of telling what is important to them, the main fact is that these Gospels were recorded so that we may learn more of the word of God. “In order to understand John’s approach to the story of Jesus, the reader must recognize the centrality of the incarnation of the Gospel” (NIB 1905). The book of John begins, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1).…
