book “Knowing Jesus through the old Testaments” introduces the Jesus and the Old Testament of the Promise of God fulfilling purpose. As well I understand, the New Testament authors clearly statement is that Jesus is the fulfillment of the Old Testament of the Promise. One of the things, that understanding in the first part of the book explains about the fulfillment of Jesus Christ (wright 56). “By repeated use of the fulfilment phrase, Matthew The New Testament authors clearly saw Jesus as the…

belongs to the line of Judah. In this regard, the chronicler of Gälawdewos cited reference from revelation that is spoken for the Lion of Judah. In similar manner, the chronicle also devoted the divinity of the king Gälawdewos who was likened even to Jesus. Following the basic principles of Kǝbrä nägäśt and Fǝtḥa nägäśt that ‘King must be a good shepherd’, the chronicler systematically explained in the chronicle that King Gälawdewos refused to flee from his enemy saying that ‘If I die and the…

illustrates Jesus as an universal savior that came from the heaven as flesh. In Matthew, Mark, and Luke, Jesus is the promised Messiah from the Old Testament, the human son of God, and the universal savior, respectively. To start, Matthew, one of the twelve disciples, wrote the Gospel of Matthew for Jewish Christian. Matthew wrote this book in order to proclaim that Jesus is truly the promised Messiah that is stated in the Old Testament. Matthew proves that Jesus is the Messiah because Jesus’…

Jesus, Son of God For hundreds of years following the fall of Jerusalem the Jewish people suffered from repeated suppression yet they waited in faith and hope for the coming of the Messiah. The questions is what would he look like and how would he save the world? Would the Messiah darken the skies? Would he speak through a burning bush or a loud thunderous voice? Or would the Messiah come armed with a golden sword and crowned with jewels? No one could have imagined the arrival of the…

The book was written in begins as a genealogy of Jesus life starting with Abraham (Mt 1:1-17 NIV) to Jesus resurrection in (Mt 28:1-17 NIV). These writings were written in the earlier part of a.d. 50 when the gospel was being preached to Jews only (Acts 11:19). The purpose of Matthews’s writings was to prove that Jesus is the Messiah and show the lineage of Jesus from David. Matthew intended for his audience to be fellow Jews, who refused to acknowledge Jesus as Messiah because they wanted to…

the biggest ones is Christ 's crucifixion(27:45-56). Jesus death is the biggest sacrifice that has ever been done for mankind and is the biggest expression of love. Throughout the gospel of Matthew, Jesus has had encounters with various people, such as giving to the needy (6:1-4), Jesus heals a paralytic (9:1-8), Jesus Heals two blind men (9:27-31), Jesus heals a man unable to speak (9:32-34), his lessons and healings are all ways in which Jesus is showing love and in multiples occurrences, He…

The Logos Hymn Both Matthew and Luke contain descriptions of the birth of Jesus unlike the Gospels of Mark and John. This difference may be a result of the special Luke and special Matthew sources. Instead of the Christmas story, the Gospel of John replaces the story of Jesus’s birth with the Logos hymn not only to create a universal text, but also to emphasize the glory of Jesus as the continuous creator that allows us to accept unending life. The Logos hymn forms the Gospel into a universal…

many pieces especially in the first three books that record similar accounts of the life of Jesus. One must also notice details only specific to one book as well. The next few paragraphs will highlight some of the similarities and differences found in each book. “The reason why Matthew, Mark, and Luke, are known as the synoptic gospels is that they follow a common pattern in describing the Ministry of Jesus. Both the similarities and the differences are significant.” (Guthrie, D, P. 83, 1970)…

For this assignment, I chose to compare the story of the birth of Jesus Christ from the gospels of Matthew and Luke. The gospels of Matthew and Luke are the only two gospels in the New Testament that tell of the birth of Christ. Each writers account of how Christ was born, how he becomes the heir to the throne of Israel down to where he was born have been argued for many years. These scriptures are found in chapter 1, gospel of Matthew, and chapter 3, gospel of Luke. These two stories tell of…

Joseph of Arimathea, who was a follower of Jesus and a member of the council asked Pilate for Jesus’ body to be released to him so that they could put it to rest before sundown when the Sabbath started. He wrapped Jesus body in linen cloth and placed it in a tomb that was cut into stone then rolled a large stone against the entrance of the tomb. Some of Jesus’ female followers had followed Joseph to the tomb and saw where Jesus was laid to rest. They went home to prepare spices and observe the…
