Matthew Broderick

Many people would agree that Jesus was sent to the people of Earth to tell them about God and how to live a life that would guarantee them entry into the kingdom of Heaven. His purpose, in essence, was to be a teacher to the ignorant people of the world. He was aware of his calling as a teacher and, because of that, he was able to put all of his passion into everything that he was teaching. When a pupil can see the great amount of passion that a teacher has for his work, the respect that they…

After reading both Matthew and Marks interpretations of the New Testament, I can see many similarities and differences between them. Both stories have obvious similarities like Jesus being the Messiah and the use of the same lines. Other example would be actions taken be characters, like how Jesus went around spreading his teachings, or events, when Jesus was crucified. Generally the similarities mostly had to do with the life, teachings, and death of Jesus. I found that the teachings of Jesus…

date and time of the composition of the Gospel of Matthew. However from the gospel, it was said of Jesus that he feared the role that the temple play in the lives of the Jews. Assuming that the author did not include any sayings of Jesus then we can only guess that the Gospel of Matthew was written around 70 CE Matthew reveal some of his special interests and purpose There is no internal, direct evidence concerning the purpose of the Gospel of Matthew. Neither is there any external, direct…

down upon, and what it means to sacrifice oneself for something you believe in. He stayed true to his beliefs and preached the goodness of God’s kingdom. An important quality of Jesus’s was he was a consoler. His caring qualities are illustrated in Matthew Chapter 8. Jesus was teaching on a mountain and was followed by great crowds. As he descended the mountain, a leper approached him and Jesus cures the man’s leprosy. To promote the kingdom of God he so firmly believes in, Jesus brings…

around him his true identity. Christ preached to crowds of thousands, his message heard throughout the land even after he rose to his father in heaven. All of these events have been recorded in the four Gospels in the New Testament. The authors, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, all capture the extraordinary life of Jesus Christ from very different angles. The Gospels are able to relate to all people of any age, due to the versatility of the teachings. The meanings of the teachings are different to…

purpose was to call people to faith (Elwell and Yarbrough 59). The book of Matthew was originally written for the Jews and presents Jesus as the Son of David and Abraham (64). Because he is portrayed as a messianic King, His ancestry to the throne of King David is emphasized. Christ speaks of “the throne of His glory” (English Standard Version, Mtw. 19.28), and Jerusalem is called “the city of the great king” (Mtw. 5.35). Matthew not only refers to Jesus as the King but also relates Him to a…

worth examining. The gospel writings of Matthew and Luke both tell the story of the birth of Jesus. According to the gospel writers, Jesus was born to a virgin and his birth was foretold in the Old Testament…

Jesus has been a prevalent figure in Christology. As seen in the Book of Mark, Jesus is seen through his countless journeys teaching, healing, and providing. Many see him as a hero, though others, such as his hometown, Nazareth, reject him. In the opening of Mark 1, Jesus’ first appearance sees him being baptized by John the Baptist. Once Jesus is becoming what he was set out to do, being the true son of God, the suffering messiah. As he meets his demise in Mark 15 to his miraculous resurrection…

The Gospel of Mary is a non-canonical Gnostic gospel that is attributed to have been written by Mary Magdalene or Mary the mother of Jesus. Three copies of the gospel have been discovered, one was written in the Sahidic dialect of Coptic, and two others in Greek. Most scholars agree that the first manuscript was originally written in Greek sometime during the second century CE, which was found later on in Northern Egypt. What gives us a clue that this text was written during this time was that…

in God, they would believe what Jesus said when He stated, I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. Believing that Jesus is the Son of the living God and the Messiah (Matthew 16:18) means believing, trusting and doing His every Word. Jesus is not the Messiah without being the Son of God and Jesus…
