The Passover supper
Personal thoughts:
On Thursday morning, the first day of the Feast, Jesus sent Peter and John to prepare a place where he could hold the Passover supper with his disciples in the evening. He knew it was the last time that he would break the bread of the Passover with them before he suffered, and it was also the first Holy Supper of the Christian Church. During the supper, he taught them a lesson of humility and talked with them tenderly and served them. At the end of the dinner, they sung a psalm together and he asked them to always believe him and no matter what happened never change their faith in God. He told them to live from him, like a branch lives from the vine, for he was the true spiritual vine, and without him they could do nothing.
There is no doubt that God is almighty in the Bible. When the people were hungry, he could made the sky rained bread; when the people were thirsty, he could make the wall pour out sweet spring water; when someone fell ill, no matter how serious it was, he could heal it… And of course, he showed great love for his people, he guided them in all things and taught them in all things. However, I totally disagree with this view that without Jesus people could do nothing.

And that’s when I left home to college, I was awarded that I would have to do everything on my own. It was the first time that I confront all the things all by myself. At first, I thought that I could do nothing without my parents and felt depressed. However, it turned out that in this world, no one is left who won’t survive. Therefore, it’s necessary to believe in ourselves and trust us have the ability to handle everything. After all, our instinct is survival. So I believe that even without the God, the people can still achieve many things. Maybe, in the beginning, it won’t be easy, but as time goes by, everything will be

    Simon Peter—The Believer, The Denier, The Rock Jesus had twelve particular apostles to whom he entrusted his ministry, including Matthew, Thomas, and Simon Peter (356).

    From a young age, like the author, high expectations have been placed upon me, and vigorous measures were taken by my parents to ensure that the best education was available to me. Because I was expected to be a high functioning student, the vision my parents had of me allowed them to shape me into what they had envisioned. But, like the author's situation, the doors for success were opened for me, yet I had to be the one to walk through those doors. There comes a point where age and independence takes over my mind as I was less privy to the words of my parents. During this time, personal accountability is now the driving factor of success.…

    When I was reading night with the class, I could not believe that this was happening to innocent people, when babies were thrown in the air as targets, people burned, killed, and they were told they would live a better life just made me feel a little sad that they would do that and when they got to the camps they treated them like they were different like they were not ment to live. I think that people can understand it better because of how Elie explained it with a way that people understand it clearly like how he described the camps as blocks and the camp leaders. To understand someone or understand what someone is going through can be different for many people like some people need to know more than others to understand more accurately and some people only need to know some of the little things of some in…

    Higher Consciousness, Christ Consciousness and Jesus I received an email from a reader questioning people 's ability to connect with higher consciousness and claiming that I have yet to be mentored by the true God--Jesus Christ.

    How does one survive? In order to survive as an individual one must learn to prosper in one's surroundings, and not allow mental illness to seep into their thought processes. Someone must beat a threat, if one exists, to stay alive physically, and beat the psychological threat of loneliness, or depression, to stay alive mentally. To survive literally means to remain in existence. To be sure one is a survivor, one must be able to adapt to their surroundings quickly or possibly be conquered, killed, or captured depending on the situation at hand.…

    Introduction into this book and videos covers how we need to set long term goals, but before doing so we need to ask ourselves some questions. Before we can set those goals we should seek to know Christ. This can be done by reading the four gospels and seeing what Jesus did, what we can learn from him, and how does it relate to us? Jesus’ last commandment was to go and make disciples, and while principles never change, our methods have to change in order to reach the current generation, and each beyond. As we get into the chapters we learn that men are God’s method and while they may seem unlearned or ignorant by man’s standards, God uses those willing to learn and raises them into leadership.…
