SHARED SUFFERING
Romans 8:17 “Sharing in his suffering means sharing in his glory.” The main subject in the painting is of course Jesus being crucified. The painter is advocating the crucifixion of our lord and savior, honestly the consequences of understanding and liking this painting are the same ones that go along with being a Christian. The painter has people kneeling before God and there is a lot of emotions in the whole picture. I chose shared suffering because the people that are kneeling before the cross you can just see it and almost just feel the real emotions behind them, you can feel the pain they are going through watching that happen. The two other guys being hung up know they have

Golgotha was painted in the antiquity era, He had painted a trilogy of the painting and Golgotha was by far the hardest. The emotional message of the painting was much more than we can see, it shows pain, suffering, hardship, grace, forgiveness and love. Golgotha was much more than just a painting it was a story within its self. The message behind the picture is that Christ died for our sins. He was put on the cross for you and me and everyone else in the world. He didn’t have to do it he could have had God send 10,000 Angels to come and save him but he didn’t because he knew he had to for us. He was so unselfish and loving that he literally let people drive nails into his body so he could die for our sins. It shows that people didn’t really believe that he was the son of God. It showed that people didn’t believe in a power greater than man himself. It showed how cruel people could be and how they could torture people. It showed suffering and pain in not only the person being put up on the cross but the people that did believe you could see the pain in their eyes of their almighty God being hung and killed right in front of

    Romans 8:18-27 is a critical passage in Paul’s argument in three ways. First, this passage serves as the the climax of the discussion in chapter 8. Paul parallels some of the earlier language in the chapter that elaboration of theme of liberation, not from this world, but from sin in anticipation of Christ return. James D. G. Dunn writes, “it picks up the earlier language of liberation from slavery (vv 2, 21), of resurrection (vv 11, 23), of sonship and adoption (vv 14-17, 19, 21, 23), and of the Spirit’s part in all this (vv 6, 27; 11, 23; 15, 23; 15-16, 26).”…

    This painting is called “Christ on The Cross between the Two Thieves”. It was created in the Baroque Era by a famous painter named Peter Paul Rubens in the year 1619 through 1620. The painting encompasses many key themes from The Brothers Karamazov, such as: love, suffering, and free will. The themes represented in the painting proves Ivan misunderstood suffering and free will which caused his rebellion against God; "It's not God I don't accept, understand this, I do not accept the world, that He created, this world of God's, and cannot agree with it" (The Brothers Karamazov pg. 245). This painting also proves Alyosha’s counter arguments.…

    Romans is an important book. When reading it, and really trying to understand it, a person can learn a lot. This book is full of ways that people can relate to relationships and the several ways a person may struggle in their personal life. It is also very helpful and encouraging.

    Myself and many fellow Christians can closely understand what Piper means. Any reader studying in the book of Romans feels a sense of inner revival, assurance, and strengthening of their relationship with God. In particular, chapter eight stands out. This chapter does so much to describe and pronounce God’s goodness and love, and packs these with many indescribably amazing truths. When I read this chapter its message seems to travel to the depths of my soul.…

    Nehemah 8: 1-18 Analysis

    In Nehemiah 8:1-18, there are not many questions that one can have; it is very straight forward. One question that one may have is why Ezra would demand that the people stop weeping out of repentance, and instead they should celebrate and feast as a community. At first glance it seems strange that Ezra would stop the Judeans from repenting. The most likely explanation for this seemingly strange demand is that it was the festival of trumpets, which is a celebration of God’s mercy towards the disobedient Israelites and the inauguration of a new world; so the celebration comes from a heart of worship and of celebration of God’s continued mercy and for God making all things new¬– brining unity to the rebuilt nation of Judea. There are many…

    Apostle Paul’s explanation of Romans 12:1-21 is about exploring scriptural guidance global leaders who can ultimately be equipped powerfully by our Divine God. When leaders lead the Church or an organization by aligning their agendas with God’s and participate in leadership that reflects Jesus, they can truly experience blessing in Christ. By creating a new community that is able to honor God and resist the forces of the devil, they can become a new reconciled community, a reconciliation that involves not only God but also one another. Paul’s words are analogous to generals’ pep speeches to motivate their troops for war.…

    The verse that I chose for my history of interpretation is Romans 9:6-16. This verse is significant in soteriology because it signifies that God is the only one that has the right to decide whom will be saved and whom will be damned. In other words, God saves individuals he thinks to deserve a place in his kingdom and perish people who do not deserve a place in heaven. This passage is also important because it teaches Christians about divine election, how individuals are predestined to salvation and God’s sovereignty. Also, God creates some people for eradication to show his fury and power and creates others for grace to show his mercy.…

    Essay On Romans 15-13

    Hi everyone, This was an interesting topic. There is tons of information in the Bible, as well as in commentaries. There wasn’t that much in our text book that pertained to this passage of reading, Romans 14 – 15:13. The only thing Gundry (2012 p. 444) had to say on this topic of weak versus strong Christians was, “Paul indicates that believers must allow one another freedom to differ on ritual questions so long as damage is not done to weaker, uninformed people.” You can say that in a nutshell that is important, but there is so much more information to glean from those Scriptures and what Paul was trying to teach us.…

    Ezekiel 33 Analysis

    Prophet Ezekiel is a priest that was exiled to Babylon in 597 BC during the reign of Babylonian empire. Thirteen of Ezekiel’s messages are dated precisely to the day, month ad year of King Jehoiachin’s exile to Babylon. His ministry extended over least twenty-three years. Though Ezekiel lived with his fellow exiles in Babylon, the divine call forced him to suppress any natural expectations he may have had of an early return to an undamaged Jerusalem. For the first seven years of his ministry (593-586 BC) he faithfully relayed to his fellow Jews the stern, heart-rending, hope-crushing word of divine judgment: Because of all her sins, Jerusalem would fall.…

    Psalms 8 was a very straightforward piece and fairly easy to shuffle through. This directly influenced my reaction and decision to do this piece. I figured that it would be a simple piece to rewrite, plus it was short enough that this would be a doable task. My initial reaction to this chapter was a sense of impression. I wasn’t expecting all the things the author was able to pull in with only nine verses.…

    Romans 3: 21-27 Analysis

    • 2138 Words
    • 9 Pages

    The passage, Romans 3:21-27, cannot thoroughly be understood by it once, or perhaps even twice, because of the complexity of what Paul says. Additionally, the text cannot rightly be understood on its own or without the context. Therefore, through looking at the historical background involved, the literary techniques and devices used, and the theological implications of the text, a clear interpretation of the text will develop; leading to the conclusion that righteousness in the eye of God is not something that can be attained through the law, rather we are made righteous through faith in Jesus Christ. Romans 3:21-27 says: 21 But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— 22 the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe.…

    In the face of conflict, it is human nature to react in anger, but the reaction of a Christian, who knows God’s words react with patience, love, kindness, forgiveness, prayer and knowledge. The problem with today’s society is that we spend our time and efforts in conflict with different races, cultures, and lifestyle choices. We are constantly fighting for equality, to where as we should be fighting for unity. Instead, we should be spending our efforts reaching out in love and respect, reaching out to those we are in conflict with. Our actions speak louder than words and sometimes causes us to look like hypocrites.…

    In Luke 4:16-19, Jesus sends a phenomenal message to the crowd in Nazareth, and to the modern society and Christians. Through this short passage, modern day Christians can extract an important function of the church in the society and the duty of the church to proclaim the year of Jubilee for the world to believe the savior, Jesus Christ. Jesus brings good news to the poor, and the church should do the same thing.…
