22 February 2016 Eschatological Sermon

Matthews interpretation of the Eschatological Sermon deal with what eschatology is, which is the study of the end of human times when judgement day comes. From a biblical perspective, history is not circular, but linear. This means moving in God's mission for us is essential for a good after life with Him. Eschatology focuses on the redemptive work of Christ, which means that it is not as focused on the future than it is with the first coming of Christ and present day salvation and faith. The goal of eschatology, is not to foretell or satisfy human curiosity about future events, but rather to challenge the hearts of people today in the light of God's future

    Jonathan Edwards and His Theology of Revival Jonathan Edwards believed that the personal regeneration precedes revival. In regeneration that is possible only by God’s sovereignty, a soul that is dead in trespasses and sins is brought to life. When a crowd of people goes through this experience at once, it is often called revival or awakening. Most of the sermons that he preached were focused on God’s sovereignty in salvation and man’s inability to save himself. He made so many statements to display his foundational belief in divine sovereignty in salvation.…

    The Sermon on the Mount is a interesting piece of writing that gives out a lot of crazy ideas on how people should live. I can not see anyone who is human living by these laws at all.

    In the Thirteenth Station, Jesus is taken off the cross after all the suffering he went through and is laid into Mother Mary’s arms. It is the first time Mary has her son Jesus in her hands since he was condemned. This station connects to my life as it reminds me of the time when I first saw my grandfather after his eyes closed for the last time and he entered the Kingdom of God with the Lord. My dad had picked us up from school and said we had an important family gathering that day. After setting our bags down at our house, we went straight to the church in Oakland to gather as a family one last time with our grandfather.…

    As Christian nears the end of his journey, he is walking in Wisdom and Integrity. Stagnation, Despair and Disgust don’t appear to be part of his narrative at this stage, but he discusses backsliding, which could be considered the beginning of a stagnant state in some part of a believer’s life. Perhaps he gained this wisdom both from observing others and from a personal episode. Further contemplation could reveal more areas of similitude. Finding such comparisons may aid a modern Christian through their own progress through the life stages of…

    Henry Louis Gates Jr, an African American literature scholar, asserts, “No poet in the tradition was more crucial in the shaping of a distinct African- American poetic diction or voice than he, [Paul Laurence Dunbar]” (68). Dunbar’s ability to communicate the struggles of America through the black experience, with the assistance of Negro dialect, elevated him to become one of the most influential African American poets of his time. His success with written language allows today’s readers to experience and obtain knowledge about the life of an African American before and after the Civil War. The life and literature of Dunbar continue to galvanize students, educators, and critics today. Dunbar’s ancestral connection with slavery and interactions…

    II. The Sermon on the Mount is not a new law with more rigid commandments than Moses’s law. Therefore, I disagree with the following statement: “Some read the Sermon on the Mount as a new law with more stringent (rigid) commandments than the law taught by Moses.” Jesus said that he didn’t come to bring a new law but to fulfill the old (Mathew 5: 17). There is a historical continuity between the Old Law and the Sermon.…

    In the, Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, Jonathan Edwards’ purpose is to scare his people, the Puritans. He describes what hell is and that people are worthy of hell if the will of God is not followed properly. Through the use of rhetorical devices such as imagery and strong diction and language, Edwards plan is to persuade all sinners to repent for their sins and ask God for forgiveness. Throughout the sermon he expresses in much detail what Hell and suffering looks and feels like and the ways to avoid hell and have eternal happiness in Heaven. Through imagery, on the eleventh line of the sermon he describes what hell looks like by saying, “The wrath of God burns against them; the pit is prepared and fire made ready for them; and the furnace hot and ready to admit them.”…
