Jesus Walks

stories about Jesus’ birth, walk, and crucifixion. Even though the Bible doesnt mention which chapter was written first, the Gospel of Mark comes before Matthew, giving us great reason to believe that Mark was the first of many other synoptic gospels written. Reading the two chapters, a person would definitely be able to recognize that the author of Matthew took the gospel of Mark and merely edited it to his version of what happened from a different perspective.…

What God and Jesus mean to me. Christianity has many questions that can only be answered with a true relationship with God, Jesus and yourself. Knowing God as well as Jesus will help you understand how and why you feel the way you do. Having a good relationship with you self allows you to be open to having a relationship with Jesus and understanding why God made you the way you are. Finding your true self will open up new roads that you never knew existed. The baby steps we take in faith…

also chosen whose blood would atone for the priest’s sins. John says that if we walk in the light as Jesus did we show that we are believers and the blood of Jesus acts like a cleaning agent form sin (1 John 1:7) just like the blood of animals in the Old Testament Jesus’ blood though has a lasting effect where animals’ blood does not. Salvation restores your relationship with God in two ways. Once you accept Jesus you become saved postionally. You are now in right standing with God. You also…

Have you ever wished that you could wake up one day and not worry about anything? The answer to a life of no worry has finally been answered. It was actually answered over 1,500 years ago when Matthew was written 6:25-34. In this passage, Jesus preaches to his people that there is more to life than worrying about food and clothing (Matthew 6:26). Instead of worrying about our lives and the struggles we may face, we should turn our focus to God and trust that he has a plan for us. Although…

message readers are about to encounter is one from Jesus Himself, as stated in the part where it says, “we have heard from him and proclaim to you.” The “we” that is stated in this verse includes John and his friends, not the entire audience of the letter. They are claiming, when they say this is message heard from Jesus, to have had an experience with Jesus Himself. This part of the verse is just reiterating the fact that John experienced Jesus in the…

could stretch out in the back. It was me and my twin sister with our best friend Holly, and she was sharing with us about Jesus. I don’t remember a lot about the conversation since I was only 11 years old, but I do remember like it was yesterday that my sister and I decided to ask Jesus into our hearts for the first time. From that day forward I have learned to walk daily with Jesus by my side. That decision is what has gotten me to where I am today, applying to finish my schooling at CCU.…

Jews. Even after Jesus’ death, many Jews weren’t convinced that Jesus was the Messiah, so Matthew wrote his testimonies down to prove to them that Jesus was in fact the Messiah. This can be seen in both the content and wording of the information and events recorded in his accounts. One of the biggest forms of proof Matthew brings up is, at the beginning of the book (Chapter 1), he displays Jesus’ genealogy. The significance of this genealogy is incredible, because it shows that Jesus was a…

The Symbolic Heroic Nature of Jesus The gross profit and best-selling movie in the year 1988, the Last Temptation of Christ, brought a lot of controversial talk from far and near. Both people that had seen the movie and those that had not had something unique to say about the movie.

Many…
