lives. As we go through the our lives our view of him changes and grows. We learn about him, we develop a relationship with him.

From a historical point of view, Mark, being the oldest of the Gospels, not merely closer in point of time to the events that it records but also concerns the meaning of these events with less interpretation (Telford, 1999). The Gospel of Mark records the main events of the life and teachings of Jesus, which kind furnished evidence to support the belief that Jesus was the true Messiah; by believing in Jesus, people could obtain salvation. While the mysterious Sermon in Parables responds to…

The Events Leading Up to Jesus’ Birth When did man, as we know man, really start? Our faith tells us it started with Adam and Eve. God gave instructions to Adam and then to Eve. However, temptations set upon them and they made a bad choice. The angel Gabriel, said to Zechariah, “Don’t be afraid, Zechariah! God has heard your prayer. Your wife Elizabeth will have a son, and you will name him John” (Luke 1:13, NIV). Zechariah was told that his wife Elizabeth, who was unable to bear children,…

As we get closer to the end of Jesus’ life we acknowledge Jesus’ last meal with his disciples, “The Last Supper”. Matthew 26:17-30 On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?” 18 He replied, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.’ “ 19 So the disciples did…

Recitation Six: Jesus, Nicodemus, and the Samaritan Woman As we continue to study and probe the Synoptic Gospels it is more and more obvious that further investigation is needed to uncover the distinctive emphases of each author. Therefore, we have been using certain methodologies such as redactional criticism to help examine these emphases. This particular methodology is meant to determine what's important to authors by understanding how they used their sources. Although this proves effective…

Homosexuality and Hatred in October Mourning October Mourning: A Song for Matthew Shepard narrates the murder of a homosexual man and the court cases that follow. In the collection of poems, Newman divides both of these events into two different parts. Both parts are narrative-driven and provide the reader with events that happen in both places—the bar and the courtroom. Newman strategically structures several of the poems in these sections to emphasize the major theme of homophobia and…

Christianity Icon jesus- Jesus’ Life- Most information of Jesus came from his followers.

They follow him some because they stand in need of healing, others because of the miracles they have seen him perform. While the multitude is making its way, Jesus arrives in Tiberias, goes up to the mountain, sits down and begins to talk with his disciples. Here is where we notice our first major difference in John’s account of this event in comparison to the other gospel writers. All the other writers talk here about Jesus having compassion on the crowd because they are like sheep with no…

Rev 1:19 provides us with a simple outline of Revelation: “Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;” “the things which thou hast seen” refers to the vision of the glorified Jesus in 1:12-18. “The things which are” refers to the seven letters of Rev 2-3. “The things which shall be hereafter” refers to the visions of the rest of the book. In other words, Rev 4-22 is a prophecy of future events. Specifically, chapters 4 and 5 prepared…
