    n chapter 3 of Jesus Behaving Badly, Mark Strauss addresses the issue of Jesus being someone who cures diseases and someone who is angry or loving. Reading this chapter I feel that Jesus is the loving type because he doesn’t reject anyone from knowing him. He wants people to know him and can share the gospel to other people so that when judgement day comes they will go to heaven rather than hell. One verse that stood out to me was Mark 1:33-34, “The whole town gathered at the door, and Jesus healed many who had various diseases.…

    However, there are two versions of the same text, but they both Jesus in differently manner in each version. In Matthew and Luke, Jesus is described as the compassionate healer, and do not describe him as angry. Ehrman argues that Mark 1:41 had originally stated that Jesus got angry when the outcasted leper had asked him to heal him. Ehrman also mentions that in another part of Mark’s Gospel, Jesus gets angry when it came to the matter of healing (133-138). This difference in text leaves the reader wondering what caused Jesus to be angry.…

    In Matthew 15: 21-28, the disciples tell Jesus not to touch the woman who is demon-possessed because they think that she is unclean. This shows that the disciples view power as being above others. They believe that Jesus is too important to be touching people who are unclean. Jesus then reminds the disciples that his purpose on earth was for the needy, not the powerful.…

    Barton provides detailed and carefully deliberated comments regarding the spiritual focus of the gospel of Mark. His attention to the obvious motifs in the gospel seems to be legitimate. While he does use the Gospel of Matthew to give illumination to Mark, I believe he did a masterful job at using the Markan episode to advance his thoughts. In terms of how this plays out in the life of the church, Barton’s work provides a rich array of relevant topics and themes for preaching in the contemporary church. I found his section on the emphasis on “following” to be most helpful.…

    The dangers of concentrated wealth can be found throughout many stories in the bible, especially in the gospels. Christian scholars view the gospel as the most important conversation between God and humans. In the gospel, we find the good news and the stories or sayings from Jesus’ life. The stories of Jesus’s dealings with the poor are numerous throughout the bible and the gospels. In one story from Mark, a man asked Jesus, “What must I do to inherit eternal life?”(Mark 10:17).…

    Heavily influenced by Mark’s gospel, Luke was compelled to collect his own history as well and complete the work. Some pieces between all three books, more closely related between Mark and Luke, were similar, but told differently according to who was telling it; Mark’s Gospel is the shortest, and the most heavily abbreviated in storytelling, whereas Luke defines and describes specific scenes Mark did previously mention. It is a more “fleshed out” version. In Mark’s version of Peter’s denial, he briefly examines the scene before moving onto Jesus’s main trial: Peter’s denial was the final chord for Christ before his meeting with Pontius Pilate, and an extremely important turning point before Christ’s inevitable betrayal by his people. ““Truly…

    After reading both Matthew and Marks interpretations of the New Testament, I can see many similarities and differences between them. Both stories have obvious similarities like Jesus being the Messiah and the use of the same lines. Other example would be actions taken be characters, like how Jesus went around spreading his teachings, or events, when Jesus was crucified. Generally the similarities mostly had to do with the life, teachings, and death of Jesus. I found that the teachings of Jesus were one of the most common similarities of all.…

    Mark faced many trials and tribulations when trying to achieve his goals and become successful. Mark 17: The Wisdom to Deal with Failure; a careful study of the Bible reveals that most of the great figures of Scripture experienced failure at one time or another, yet those failures did not keep them from effective service for God (bible, n.d.). Theodore Roosevelt stated” The only man who never makes a mistake is the man who never does anything.” Abraham, Moses, Elijah, David, and Peter all failed at some point, but regain faith and learn from their mistakes. Their failures were a tool that allowed them grow as a person, confess to God, and use their mistakes to help others facing obstacles.…

    But in Matthew it was only the disciples no people. This caught my eye because if people came up to Jesus asking why he was speaking, then why didn’t they in Mark? I can understand why the people were asking because the parables are confusing in a way. Also, it does sound directed towards a specific group rather than all people. I can’t really understand why the disciples were asking Jesus why he was telling the people.…

    Jesus himself says that the Son of Man suffers and is killed at the hands of other people in the same way the Is 53 says that “12 Because he surrendered himself to death and was counted among the wicked; And he shall take away the sins of many, and win pardon for their offences”. Moreover it also says that “7 Though he was harshly treated, he submitted and opened not his mouth” which is also connected to the three passion predictions because Jesus knew what he had to do to redeem us of our sins, and he was willingly going towards it as shown in the course of his ministry from Caesarea Philippi to Jerusalem and he was always walking ahead of his…

    Finally, the last chapter deals with redemption. Redemption is what all Christians counselors or non-Christian ought to focus their practice. McMinn (2012) explains that to understand redemption, you must have an understanding of all the other topics addressed in this book (p. 249). Redemption is the only objective for counseling, but first the counselor should be aware of his redemption before acting as a vessel to help clients with their recovery. It is essential to know that Only God provides eternal redemption (McMinn, 2012, p. 230).…
