Jesus was, the miracles he did, the sermons and parables he told, the prophecies he fulfilled, and the positive impact he had on those who came in contact with him. Mark’s ultimate goal in writing his gospel was to share the gospel or the good news of Jesus Christ. So much so that he uses the word gospel…
The gospel of Mark contained many description histories such as parable, sermons, and prophetic oracles. The purpose of the gospel of Mark was to tell the reader that Jesus is the son of God and he’s the Messiah. The God sent it his son to save mankind from the sins by letting him suffer to help the human being. According to Bible Mark is one of the historians in a New Testament who came witness the life of Jesus. Mark story started by describing the adulthood life of Jesus and establishing it…
passages consider evangelism, this series of lessons will look at the gospels themselves. A. The gospels all use different approaches to evangelize. B.

These disciples were to learn Jesus teaching so when he died they would go out and preach the gospel of God and save as many people from going to hell. Many have dug in deeper on the subject of the number of disciples Jesus really had. One was missing from the twelve as evidence has revealed. The research many have done have, in fact, found evidence…
I find the discussion on this point tedious. After two thousand years- what can be refuted or disproved certainly would be. As pointed out in chapter 4 of ‘Life of Jesus’- “Mainstream experts overwhelmingly agree that the core of the gospel narrative is historically sound.” Our neighbors here with in West Michigan (and our peers throughout most of The U.S.) have certainly heard His message, and I have taken their ‘intellectual’ rejection of it with a heavy sigh and heavier heart. It…

In Theology we had to do a research project on one of the Synoptic Gospels. I chose to do a research paper on the infancy narrative in Matthew’s Gospel. The term infancy narrative is used described the birth and early life of Jesus the Messiah. The infancy narrative in Matthew’s Gospel is broken into many parts; including: the genealogy of Jesus, the conception and birth of Jesus, the visit of the Magi, the flight to Egypt and massacre of the infants, and the return from Egypt. I will be…
The gospels in the Bible are subjective; they do not just state facts, they are a narration about Jesus’ life and works, which makes it open to interpretation. Everyone has their own concept for Jesus’ ideals of his powers. The only source for historical Jesus is found in the four gospels. While the four gospels have similarities, they also contradict each other. They were also released years after Jesus’ death, and they are not first-hand accounts. The quest to find historical Jesus, requires…
concept of poor in the Lukan writing is not entirely, or even primarily, about the economically deprived, but all those who lived in an inferior status within the Jewish society. The focal point of the Gospel is the treatment of these categories of people that Luke considers to be ‘the poor’. The Gospel doesn’t only focus on the poor being inheritors of the message, but also the message of how the poor ought to be treated by those of power. This leads Scholars such as Mel Shoemaker to argue that…
The Gospel according to Matthew was written because his community was suffering from an identity crisis. Mathews Gospel deals with two important concerns to his community; the first is the destruction of the temple and the loss of their land. The destruction of the temple and loss of their land happened to Matthews’s community in 70 AD. In addition, Matthew community expelled from their Synagogue caused a further identity crisis within the community. The temple and the land were two major…
