Jesus Loves Me

In the Farewell Discourse, Jesus provides various examples as to what love can be displayed to be. John 15 provides an explicit example in which Jesus provides a reference of love in relation with both vines and branches. Jesus explains to his disciples, “Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit” (John 15:2). By Jesus expressing this statement, he simply states that by having a relationship with God, one…

of acts that "and they said, believe on the lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, And thy house" (act 16:31, KJV). Looking back on my passed five years of knowing Jesus I would describe it as a rollercoaster ride. Back in sixith grade I was going through a transition from Crosswalk to Hang time, Elementary School to middle school, and ultimately finding who I was and knowing Jesus. It was my 2011 Hangtime Winter Whiteout when I accepted Jesus into my life. Every year we do this thing…

“I Love Jesus Because.” He is a very enthusiastic preacher and he starts out by saying, “I love Jesus because I can pray in his name.” We need to be grateful to Christ and love him because we can pray in his name. When he prays in Jesus’ name, he rolls upon the mind of God, all the memories he has. He has forgiveness of sins through Jesus Christ. God has casts our sins into the depth of the sea. Not on the surface where men can look at them, but down deep in the depths of the sea. He loves Jesus…

helping me to understand and love people genuinely. It is difficult to empathize with other when we are not aware of our own sins. In psychology I could learn that a very single behavior of the human beings has a reason. People behave the way they do for different events that have occurred in their lives in their prenatal stage, childhood, adolescence or later in adulthood.

He argues that by being capable of loving, he also must be capable of suffering that comes with love, but that he does not suffer as man suffers due to their incomplete nature, but rather because of his love. Moltman also points out that…
