Sharing the Gospel with Joe will be different than the manner I normally share. I rarely encounter people who deny any belief of God. Joe who has told be Catholicism was in his childhood, but is something he does not practice as an adult has also shared he does not attend church and has not accepted any of my invitations to visit my church. HE has indicated a desire to socialize with me, hence my invitations to church. I have come to realize he is seeking to establish a relationship with me prior to attending church with me. I will simply have to set aside some time to socialize with him away from work and allow us to become better acquainted before he will attend church with me or receive the message I wish to share with him.

“The Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world” (John 1:29 KJV), He has arrived and many accounts of His deeds are found in the testimonies of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Jesus, born of a virgin, descendent of Abraham and David (Matthew chapter1), is the seed of Eve in Genesis, the Passover Lamb in Exodus, Emanuel of Isaiah, the redeemer of mankind. He was sent by God, His Father to be the sacrifice to atone for the sin of the fall which could not be washed away by the flood. Our constant and ongoing struggle against the will of God. We do not take care of His temple, we seek to rule it. God in His love for us sent His only Son to Die in our place for the sin we commit, salvation is through Him (John 3: 11-21). Jesus is our example, in His life He shows us the love of the Father. His sacrifice is what allows us the ultimate restoration, we are adopted into the family of God, given rights and privileges as joint, is the collimation of the family, shows us how we should live. Loving our fellow man, of the same Spirit, heirs with Jesus (Romans 8:14-17). The people did not believe Jesus to be the Son of God. They spit on Him, beat Him, humiliated Him, nailed Him to a cross and when He passed from this life, the ground shook, rocks were split, dead saints came out of their graves and walked about. The Roman soldiers at the site witnessed this and fearfully admitted Jesus was surly the Son of God (Matthew 27:

    Jesus Christ is the only son of God, and His mission was to deliver the Word of God and redeem our sins.

    The actual date of Jesus' birth is not known, but it appears that Jesus was born sometime between 7 and 5 B.C in Bethlehem. 25 December was fixed as his birth date more than 500 years after the event on purely hypothetical data. There is not one Jesus birth story in the gospels, but two. These gospels include Matthew and Luke, where they state that he was born of the virgin mother, Mary, without a male parent. However, Joseph the carpenter has been considered to be his father.…

    I chose to write about Matthew and John because they are the first and last of the Gospels. I am also the most interested in these two books since one is a synoptic Gospel and the other is not. Matthew and John are both Gospels. However, Matthew is a synoptic gospel and John is not. John is different than all the other Gospels and is not considered a synoptic Gospel because it does not contain the birth of Jesus.…

    This is considered to be the greatest act of redemption in the New Testament when God gave His one and only perfect son to die on a cross so that we might one day live with God for eternity. Jesus spent His life on earth revealing Himself as the Savior of the world to both the Jews and the Gentiles. Jesus performed many miracles; healing the sick and diseased, raising the dead to life, casting out of demons, and controlling nature. By coming from the line of David, Jesus showed that He had control to be the king God had chosen to lead Israel. Through Jesus’ sacrifice, we are able to be reconnected with God in heaven while on earth.…

    In the Bible, John refers to Jesus as the “Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29). In Revelation, John often refers to Jesus as the Lamb using a different Greek word. It is believed that John was referring to the Passover Lamb because its blood spared the Israelites from the death of their firstborn. The Passover feast is the main Jewish holiday that celebrates God releasing the Israelites from bondage. Sacrificing lambs in the temple was a part of the Jewish religion.…

    1. Matthew and Luke’s birth narratives have many obvious differences when you first read them. In Luke’s account he starts off with the birth of John, but in Matthews account he starts off with traces of Joseph’s family tree. Between these two accounts they are still portraying two different point of views. If we were to try and put the birth of John from Luke’s account in Matthews account it wouldn 't really change the story that much, but it would affect the entire format of Matthews gospel.…

    The four Gospels in the bible are accredited to four writers: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The gospels were split into two groups, which consisted of the synoptic Gospels and John’s gospel. The synoptic gospels consisted of Matthew, Mark and Luke’s gospels. The reason for this was because of the difference between the writings. The synoptic gospels were considered similar, but John did not really contain the same similarities that the other three writings had in common.…

    The Gospel of Matthew 1. Who was Matthew, and why was he qualified to write a book in the Bible? 1. Matthew was a tax collector who became a disciple of Jesus (Strauss, 2011, p. 5531). It is believed that he wrote the book of Matthew. He was more than qualified to write a book in the Bible because “as a tax collector, Matthew no doubt would have been proficient in both Aramaic and Greek” and would have been highly organized.…

    A significant aspect of Jesus’ portraits has to do with the titles used to describe him and point to his humanness or divinity. The diction used in Mark is less suggestive of Jesus’ divine nature than in John. The most common title for Jesus in Mark’s gospel is “Teacher” or “Master,” plain human terms that emphasize the idea of serving others. Jesus is portrayed as the servant of God, but he is nonetheless the leader of the people on earth by virtue of his status as a prophet. Jesus being identified as “Teacher” is also important because Mark’s audience, the Gentiles, was relatively new to the faith, and Mark wanted to stress that Jesus was a model for them to serve God before serving themselves during the persecutions.…

    Propitiation is a word in the Septuagint was used to describe the mercy seat of the ark of covenant under the two cherubim’s out stretched wings. The blood of the slain animal was sprinkled on the mercy seat of the Ark of the Covenant to atone for the sins of the people in the Old Testament “so the mercy-seat of the gospel is that which is sprinkled with the precious blood of Christ. The substitute endures the punishment which otherwise would fall upon the guilty themselves.” Christ becomes the second Adam leading a sinless life that when offered on the cross as a sacrifice was able to redeem creation and set Jesus at its Head. Christ was not a person in his…
