Jesus Loves Me

In John 13:1-7, the Bible portrays Jesus washing His disciples’ feet, shortly before He was to be crucified on the cross. In this act of kindness, Jesus was demonstrating humility, and that all Christians must be willing to be servants for others. By washing and cleaning the feet of his disciples, He was demonstrating His love for them. Christians should not think they are superior or better than those who do not hold to the same faith, and they are called to lay aside their pride, serve the…

first scripture, Jesus was simply telling us that sacrifice is better than giving. He telling us to make pace with eachother before going to the temple of God to either worship or to give gifts at the alter of God. Jesus is telling us that having eachother in heart will lead us in the wrong past. The second scripture, I read was very interesting. The point that Jesus was trying to make was that we as the children of God need to care and love for everyone. We need to show uncontional love to even…

I really like the image called "Those Who Love Me Will Keep My Word". In this image it shows two people who are obviously starving and the one on top is holding the other and feeding him something from a bowl. I interpret the image as Jesus (on top) giving his strength and hope to someone else (on the bottom). I chose this representation of Jesus because Jesus is the definition of strength and grace, he will help anyone before himself. When Jesus was on earth he helped anyone who needed it; the…

faith in Jesus Christ. In my opinion, this passage portrays how people lose faith sometimes, but Jesus will never stop looking after you. When Simon says, “Master, we have worked hard all night and have caught nothing, but at your command I will lower the nets,” you see that Simon is losing faith and has doubt that there will be any fish; however, after Simon does what Jesus asked him to do, the nets were breaking because they were full of fish. (Luke 5:5). This passage illuminates Jesus’…

Simon Peter—The Believer, The Denier, The Rock Jesus had twelve particular apostles to whom he entrusted his ministry, including Matthew, Thomas, and Simon Peter (356). Simon was a fisherman who left his life to follow Jesus. Jesus gave him the name Peter, which comes from the Latin word “petra,” which means rock (Matthew 4:18). Jesus told Peter that he was the rock upon which Jesus would build the Church (Matthew 16:18). Mark, one of the four Evangelists, was a disciple of Peter. Mark’s gospel…

declares that Jesus should be put to death, Jesus returns to Jerusalem for the Passover. Just before Passover, Jesus and his disciples are enjoying their last meal together. After the meal Jesus proceeds to tell the disciples that he is going to prepare a place for them in his fathers house. Jesus tells them that he will lead them there, which is also a recurring theme throughout the book of John. With the disciples still being confused on his meaning Jesus tells them and prompts me to ask the…

15 sets the tone and the foundation for Jesus’ dialogue with his disciples. John 15:1-17 is a part of John’s gospel and considered one of the four gospels; in which, the others are called the Synoptic Gospels and include Matthew, Mark and Luke. All four of these gospels are a part of the New Testament. Furthermore, John’s gospel was written sometime between AD 55 and AD 95 (Carson 82) in Ephesus (ESV Study Bible) by John who was a fisherman called by Jesus to follow (Matthew 4:21). Also, John…

belief is that Jesus died on the cross to forgive the sins of the world. That God sent His only son to the world to help save His people. Near the end of Van Biema’s article he talks about how the Jesus Seminar said that “the Resurrection of Jesus Christ was not essential to the faith; and that, in fact, the Resurrection may not have occurred at all,” . This was not surprising to hear, because the Jesus Seminar is trying to decipher what Jesus did or did not actually say. For the Jesus Seminar…

In this passage, Jesus clearly establishes that every rule we will ever be asked to follow, indeed every law that can possibly be followed, is derived from love. Everything we do, everything we teach must stem from a love of God or a love of others. Clearly intolerance of homosexuals does not display a love for others. Even those who are opposed to homosexuality cannot deny this. However, they will say that because God hates homosexuals (this is NOT the case, as I have been tirelessly expounding…
