foolishness."  No o What Did Jesus do with the shame  Hebrews 12:2 tells us what he did with it: "For the joy set before Him [he] endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."  Jesus despised the shame • When shame began to come over him and tempt him to disobedience to be a witness for God and to the gospel o He despised the shame and would not let it rule over Him • How did he do that? o “Hebrews 12:2,”for the joy set before him”  Shame…

Introduction The passage Matthew 12: 9-14 deals with the controversy of healing on the Sabbath Day. Works of any sort were against the law on the Sabbath day and healing would have made Jesus a law breaker. Prior to this passage there were other problems pertaining to the Sabbath Day law, but this passage confronts those issues of works on the Sabbath Day. In the Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, the government was described as dictators at that time. “Here its primary sense is…

Final Reflection This course has been interesting in offering new perspectives on the Bible, especially in the ways in which people’s interpretations of the Bible today are related to the ways and reasons why certain books of the Bible were written.

Matthew, the tax collector, is the most important Gospel of all because it contains all the elements important to the early church: the story of Jesus’s miraculous conception; and explanation of the importance of liturgy, law, discipleship, and teaching; and an account of Jesus’s life and death. The Gospel of Mark, the fisherman, was the least popular of the gospels. His Gospel comes to us through his own personal…

John’s gospel is very different from Mark’s gospel; John’s gospel flows more like a story with a prologue and an epilogue. The stories that are in both John’s gospel and Mark’s gospel are not in the same order of events, nor are they told to happen in precisely the same way (Jesus does not calm the sea, Peter’s three denials of Jesus). John’s gospel contains many events that are not included in Mark’s gospel (water into wine, the woman at the well, washing of the disciples feet) and it spans…

And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. And he closed the book, and he…
