Arrest of Jesus

from the teachings of Jesus Christ. He only wanted to reform the religion of Judaism, but throughout several disputes, Christianity became its very own religion. Throughout the life of Jesus Christ, he was very much human just like us. Jesus, just as we were born, was born in Bethlehem where he spent the majority of his life working as a carpenter with his father. It was not until Jesus was about thirty years old until he came into historical view. Around the age of thirty, Jesus came to the…

2 Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” 4 And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what concern is that to you and to me? My hour has not yet come.” 5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” 6 Now standing there were…

Luke’s firsthand account of this visit highlights how exceptional Paul’s relationship with the Philippians would become. To start, the Spirit of Jesus himself sends Paul and his companions to Macedonia (vv. 6–10). Once in Macedonia, the stress on Philippi’s sociopolitical importance as “a principal city of the district of Macedonia and a [Roman] colony” suggests that Paul intentionally targeted Philippi…

disciples went to Jesus, and Jesus said, “Go into the city to the man and tell him, ‘Jesus says, “My call time is nearing; with you, and with my disciples I shall celebrate the Passover Feast.” The disciples did as Jesus told them, and prepared for the Passover Feast. When evening had dawned, he relaxed himself at the table with the Twelve. As they were eating, he said, “Amen, I say to you, which one of you will betray me?.” In a deep distress,…

15: In the second of this four-chapter farewell discourse, we find Jesus being the exclusive speaker. Jesus addresses two primary topics: disciple from being connected to the father, and tension with the world. Both sections have to deal with the disciples association with Jesus in particular – Jesus continues to recognize the importance of preparing the disciples for what is to come. 15:1-17 In John 2, we experienced Jesus being a source of life and celebration for the family in Cana (in…

resurrection, He made good His promise; the very promise for which they killed Him. The chief priest and elders sent that mob into the Garden called Gethsemane, to arrest Jesus and drag Him back for trial. When the Lord was brought before the authorities, they sent out a message that they were looking for witnesses to testify against Jesus. I don’t know if there was a bribe (money) involved or not, but it seems that quite a number of people lined up with a story to tell. Yet, out of all…

The resurrection of Jesus created in his disciples an awe, reverence and courage. Kinast, (2000) p.17) talk about an “ontological transformation in our own being lead us to acquire the epistemological knowledge, understanding, discernment and wisdom. True wisdom is a knowledge…

Christians to follow and be devoted to the examples set by Jesus. The rite of demarcation was also significantly evident in the ritual as it the Easter Liturgy was marking a specifically important part in time and the participants transitioned between two seasons from Lent to Easter. Finally, the Rites of Memorial was apparent in the liturgy as the participants were required to recall, remember and reflect on the death, resurrection and stories of Jesus. The MSM Easter liturgy…

“mission” as “intentionality and movement” (22). Moreover, Schnabel uses Jesus and Paul’s ministry as the examples of missions. Paul describes Jesus’ mission as “movement from God into the world and in terms of the intentionality of Jesus’ mission in Galatians 4:4-5” (26). Furthermore, in Galatians 1:1 and 15-16 describes Paul’s mission as movement and intentionality. Paul’s goal of his mission is to preach the gospel (the message of Jesus Christ) to not only to the Jews, but also to Gentiles.…

the activity and teaching of Jesus of Christ. These records are Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These four Gospels constitute a single literary genre and their central message is distinctive. Their content is similar, but their presentation of Jesus takes on a slightly different form. Each Gospel differs from the other. John is the most dissimilar of the four. At first glance, the gospels seem to be of a biographical or historical nature. They tell the story of Jesus’ life, and give insight…
