Jesus Loves Me

narrative regarding Jesus and his disciples but on the theology expressed by Jesus. Many scholars, such as Wilkins (2010: 159), believe that each Gospel gives a unique account of discipleship and according to Wilkins ‘the central characteristic of the disciple is belief or acceptance of Jesus’ claims vis-á-vis the Father’ (Wilkins, 2010: 212). The Gospels Matthew’s Gospel In the five great discourses addressed to disciples (chs.5:3-7:27; 10:5-42:…

Jesus is a prominent figure in the New Testament. Among other topics, we learn about Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. Throughout the life of Jesus, specifically in the Gospel of Mark, He is called many different names. We know from Angel Gabriel’s appearance to Mary that He is the Son of God, but there is a deeper message. Having been raised Roman Catholic and attended a Catholic school since pre-k, I have always had my times where I doubted who Jesus truly was. My religion teaches me that…

society Christianity is the largest religion with over two billion followers that come from hundreds of Christian dominations. Christianity was started from the Jewish religion, as Jesus and his twelve disciples were Jews. Christianity is based on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Christians believe that Jesus was the messiah that was mentioned in the Old Testament and that he was to come to save mankind from their sins. The religion of Christianity spiked years after Christ…

13:44-52) is a loving invitation to truly find the true treasure that God has gifted us. Jesus told us “not to store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and decay destroy, and thieves break in and steal, but store up treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor decay destroys, nor thieves break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.” (Mt. 6: 19-21) What is the treasure that Jesus meant? In the present time, our society is edging God out of the…

Jesus Christ Superstar is an excellent example of the commercialization of religious cultures. Jesus Christ Superstar was released in 1970, during the “Jesus Movement” which took place in the United States from the late 1960s to the early 1970s. The “Jesus Movement” was largely focused on evangelicalism and more contemporary form of worship. The creators of Jesus Christ Superstar reflected the Jesus Movement’s new ideals for christianity as well as commentate on the commercialization of religion…

think salvation is a benefit of the Christian worldview because we know the trusting in the Lord we will receive guidance and his unconditional love. Also by trusting in the Lord, receiving salvation we are told that Jesus died so that we shall not perish but receive eternal life. I believe knowing that when I die I will receive eternal life has helped me get through difficult times in my life. I believe there are many things we may find trouble somewhere confused about Christianity. The…

deity that maintains a Trinity type existence for the Christian believer. Christian worldview is a belief and a way of life that will lead a Christian to Heaven to spend eternity with God, after death; this worldview is comprised of God, humanity, Jesus, and restoration. When looking at the Christian worldview, God is what is known as the Trinity. The Trinity is the same being that exists in three different forms but is the same entity. The Trinity is God the Father, God the Son, and God the…

Who is Jesus the Christ? As my seven and five year old children would say, Jesus is God’s son. Oh, if only it were that simple of an answer. This is a question that every Christian, when they are being honest, struggles to answer their entire life. I have experienced moments of certainty when faced with this question, only to succumb to insecurity once more. For instance, my first experience of rejecting Jesus came to me after reading Dan Brown’s The DaVinci Code in the early 2000’s. My sudden…

professor said, “I hear a lot of doing but no being”. That has stuck with me and continues to shows it head in every class, this is no different, but could be the most distinct because of this theory by O’Collins. Being present does not always entail doing something, sometimes doing nothing…

Before we can begin a discussion about our need to turn our nation back to God, we must address the relationship between God and the person of Jesus Christ. The Bible is clear that Jesus is God’s only begotten Son. I believe this to be fact. Jesus, however, is also God. I know this is a tough concept to grasp. How can Jesus be God if He is also the Son of God? First and foremost, we cannot attempt to constrain God to the laws of physics that we are subject to. He created these laws and by…
