Crucifixion of Jesus

As Jesus hung on the cross, He began to suffer in ways that dwarfed the horrors that He had already endured. His body formed a “Y” shape, as those performing the crucifixion would attach the hands outstretched and above the victims head with some room for movement and the feet with the knees slightly bent (Davis n.d.). In order for Jesus to breathe properly, He would have to bring His body from a “Y” shape into that of a “T”, requiring Him to pull up by His nailed wrists and push up by His…

much that he traded his own life for the young boy’s. Edmund is symbolic of the sinners and faithless in the Bible, who called for Jesus’ Crucifixion. Aslan’s sacrifice for Edmund shows Aslan's great forgiveness of his treachery, just as Jesus had said on the Cross “forgive them,” begging God to pardon those who had betrayed and scorned him. (Luke 23:34) Jesus, who had done no wrong, was willing to die for them out of love. Lewis knows that the idea of dying for someone else is difficult…

There were several things in the events of his arrest, trial, and death that are very noteworthy. Also, the theological significance of His death is worthy of review and contemplation.

of 33 A.D. life for billions of people across the world would be altered so significantly some will argue there would be no purpose to live without the events, people, and culture that were cultivated therein. The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ along with rising minority influence and natural disasters will mark 33 A.D. in human history as the most influential and essential year. The people of 33 A.D. bring unbridled revolutions in culture and philosophy as well as offering an…

Church. It is the belief that the humanity of Jesus is mere a disguise, and actually Jesus is God. This belief is against many doctrines that the Church agrees with. Docetism denies the Incarnation because it is believed that Jesus is an image of God, and God does not need to be made into a human. The belief is based on that “matter was evil, and hence that God would not take on a material body”. Since “Christ was born without any participation of matter”, Jesus is not a true human being but…

they both claim to be the one true way to God. Their differences include their view on Jesus, how the religion had originated, and also their practices. We can see their differences in their teachings and how their members apply it to their everyday lives. In both of these religions come different views on how Jesus is portrayed and what importance he holds. For Christians, they take their information of Jesus through the bible, which includes the Old and New Testament. Christians know him to…

His status as an allegorical character is more complex than Sotnikov or Ivan’s because his story does not mirror the life of Christ in such an obvious way. Sokolov takes on the role of Jesus, the son, and God, the father, at different moments in the film. While he is a prisoner, Sokolov is Jesus, questioning his destiny and then destiny of men. Two scenes clearly illustrate this. The first scene is Sokolov escape. He runs to a wheat field and lies down in in a crucified position, looking…
