THCT100 – The Study of Jesus Essay.
“The Study of Jesus Christ, who he is, what he said and did, is vital for Christian faith. This is so for three reasons: Jesus reveals who God is, who we are and what the Church is about” (Fachtna McCarthy, “Jesus, the Christ”, in Anne Hession and Patricia Kieran (eds). Exploring Theology: Making Sense of the Catholic Tradition, Dublin: Veritas, 2007, p. 101).
Discuss how your study of Jesus Christ illuminates who God is, who Christians are and what the Church is to be.

Jesus shows us that Christian’s are people who believe in the word of God, who trust in the Word of God and who spread the Word of God throughout the world to gain more followers for this historical Religion. To be a Christian there aren’t rules or guidelines but from our knowledge of Jesus it just means that having a special relationship with God and committing ourselves to following him and following his teaching and spreading the word of God. Christian’s believed that Jesus was the Messiah and that when he died and eventually resurrected he would allow them to be reconciled with God and that they would be offered their Salvation and they were also promised with Eternal Life. This shows us that Jesus was willing to suffer on the cross so that he could show his full promise to the will of the Eternal Father. Christian’s also believe that Jesus was human and divine at the same time.

The Church should also be a reflection of Jesus and his love, deeds and his words. And they should teach the words of Christ wherever they go and to glorify God and to make sure that Jesus is known throughout the world. And they would grow from the relationship that they shared with Jesus through prayers and by studying the Word of God and try to expand God’s Kingdom by living and preaching the Gospel, it was built on the light to the world. The Church itself was meant to be coming together and saying truth and the gathering of people so they could praise God and all he had done for this world. And to appreciate all that we had instead of taking the precious life God has granted us for granted. They were meant to be a forgiving and spiritual place where people felt welcomed.
