Arrest of Jesus

29 The Cross Symbol of Grace Jesus went to the cross and died for all our sins. He was falsely accused of the guilty sins of the world. He went to His death as a lamb to the slaughter (Isaiah 53:7). Because of God’s grace and His great love for us He willingly sacrifice His only son Jesus Christ for the sins of the world.

Throughout the New Testament, Jesus used parables directed at the often hypocritical religious leaders of the time and used it to bridge the transition from Judaism to Christianity. The Parable of the Tenants is a great example of Jesus chastising the Jewish lawgivers and the leadership of the religion. In doing so establishing the 'cornerstone ' of the new church. In Matthew 21, Jesus tells us the Parable of the Tenants while instructing these elders and leaders to listen carefully because…

's call to create a better world, Christians have always worked for social reform. But the impetus for social change now dwells outside the Church. The Church - the radix of human existence - is the first representation of God 's creative act in Jesus Christ. Therefore, Christian worship represents the first social reform.

story of Christ’s death in the film. For example the crucification details were taken from The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

slight differences in the stories. Some of the differences, though, are such as Muslims view Muhammad to be the last prophet of God while the Christians believe Jesus was God made into human form. Muslims believe that Jesus was a prophet, quite like Muhammad, Adam, Moses, etc. For Christians, to go to heaven, one must believe that Jesus is their Savior.

Perfect Love Paper Powell introduces the thought that perfect love is the determining factor in entire sanctification. My question to Powell would be what is his definition of perfect as he is using it in his statement? Powell (2008) has written, “To be entirely sanctified is to love God with perfect love” (p. 250).
