Personal Narrative: The God Of Nazareth

Improved Essays
I find myself fascinated listening to this man. I sit here amongst a crowd of hundreds of men, women, and children. We are all amazed at the knowledge that he speaks. The man changes his tone and compares himself the bread that fell from heaven and the water that came from the rock. The rabbi next to me is angrily talking to me as if I did something wrong. He is so disgusted that the man is comparing himself to the God of Moses. I assure the rabbi that he should relax and listen to this man from Nazareth because he has never steered anyone wrong. I watch the man’s expression change while he shouts out “I am the living bread and water! Unless you chew on my flesh and drink my blood you will not be saved.” He repeated this over and over again while the crowd got angry and left. The only ones left were myself and my eleven brothers. …show more content…
He then took us on a three-day journey. My brothers and I were wondering what was in store for us next? We stopped at the edge of a cliff and he pointed down at an area were there was a five-hundred-foot rock, a statue of the God Pam, and a temple in front of a well. There were people worshipping at the foot of the statue, committing murder, and throwing the bodies in the well. The man now looks at us with true authority and asked, “Who do you say that I am?” My brother John answers, “They say you are Moses reincarnated.” One of my other brothers answered, “You are John the Baptist and some even say you are father

    Petra Thanks for your appreciation toward my work. You remark my biblical contribution and many times I analyze the way how God proceed and I am amazed at his wisdom, though he wants many people to become a testimony of his miracles and life on earth sometimes I cannot understand why he chose 12 disciples to follow him and become testimony of what he did on earth, why they were so special if they did not have any background in theology and Jesus was practicing theology since he was 12, besides in the bible sometimes was noticeable the frustration of God when he was preaching and teaching parabolas and they could not understand him. 13 Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How then will you understand any parable?…

    It says in the book of acts that "and they said, believe on the lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, And thy house" (act 16:31, KJV). Looking back on my passed five years of knowing Jesus I would describe it as a rollercoaster ride. Back in sixith grade I was going through a transition from Crosswalk to Hang time, Elementary School to middle school, and ultimately finding who I was and knowing Jesus. It was my 2011 Hangtime Winter Whiteout when I accepted Jesus into my life. Every year we do this thing called " Cry Night " that Winter Whiteout in particular we watched clips from "The Passion of Christ " and it was to the song " How He Loves " by David Crowder.…

    There are many stories told in my family. Anyone and everyone told them, some nights it would be my mom and other nights it would be my grandpa. There would always be two stories read; the first one would be from a book called “My Book of Bible Stories”. This book has so many pictures asks questions has descriptive words and is still one of my favorite books. After that story whoever was telling the story would make up a silly story usually about a blue or green man with a giraffe that went traveling and exploring (I have no clue why).…

    Though Christianity customs and traditions have evolved over time, its core belief has stayed the same over centuries. From the time of the Middle Ages, and even in today’s day and age, there have been many conflicts within the Christian church causing it to split multiple times, creating the denominations that we know today. This was due to the different opinions presented by church hierarchy about different traditions and views that should start to be incorporated; or even some that should cease to exist. Before I continue on with the similarities and differences during the Middle Ages and now, let me begin with how Christianity came to be. “We know that by the second century, Jesus of Nazareth was the divine Son of God, who had been resurrected from the dead to save all humanity.…
