to crucifixion. The last supper had more of a significance to it, it was also known as the passover meal, Jesus’ command to remember what He was about to do on behalf of all mankind: shed His blood on the cross thereby paying the debt of our sins (Luke 22:19). Therefore using the passover to have a new covenant, there was two symbols associated with the passover and to remind them about the sacrifice. Which saves us from spiritual death and…

Each of the four gospels share the answers of who Jesus is and what he has done for us in four distinctively different ways. Through stories, letters, and reoccurring parables, if one does not understand Jesus’ identity and his divine works through one gospel, they can look to another to gain a clearer understanding. The story where the question of paying taxes to Caesar is posed to Jesus appears in all three Synoptic Gospels, Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Each Synoptic has a different way of…

brothers, also called the elder, a young man, the little children. John in tell them how God love them on one hand, on the other hand also tell them that kind of love need to respond with love, because it is a sign of confidence. I remember the story from Luke 9: 49-56, this story show me on the way to follow Jesus, John wants to learn how to put himself down, to learn how to treat people Jesus, this is everyone to participate in the public ministry requires special attention to.

because they believed that beyond their sacrifices awaited a glorious kingdom” . Jesus gives us a great example of a leader; through his message, missions, and ministry.

In fact, John is the only one of the gospels to explain the Logos and preexistence of Jesus Christ as well as include prologue in a poetic form (Culpepper, 111). Within John there are many themes and angles in which one can read it. To better understand the book of John, it is said…

Spiritual formation can be an overwhelming process. As the Lord begins to mold us and shape us into His image, the process takes us out of our comfort zone, and pushes us to live by blind faith. It is a process that brings forth a lot of tears, frustration, pruning, and sadness. The process can be extreme, but it births true happiness, joy, servanthood, and the authentic person we were created to be. This paper will discuss reconciliation, transformation process, spiritual formation in the…

establish who Christ is. He makes clear that this second person of the Trinity, was in all ways divine but assumed flesh for our sake. Johns gospel leaves out the virgin birth of our Lord and one may ask why I’m thinking as Johns gospel was the last to be written, he was familiar with the other three so that event was well documented especially in Luke so it was unnecessary and would take away from the main objective. John also tries to establish that a new relationship to the Father is being…

In the gospel of Luke, Jesus twice warns us to count the costs of becoming His disciple (Luke 9:57-62; 14:25-33). There is a cost to following Jesus, and it is not an easy price to pay. Jesus told His disciples that they would have to lose their lives in order to save them (Matthew 10:39). Following…

normally found in the New Testament with the most descriptive images of what hell is like. An example is the like the guy in Luke 16:24 with the torment of punishment. In the burning, separation, thirst, and the stench of hell will be expanded below to give a character of the eternal punishment, which is real, by the Scriptures.
