Miracles of Jesus

is whether Jesus was God, or whether he was just a man. Though both sides can each be argued using historical evidence, science and the Bible, in the end it’s believed to come down to faith. Although there is uncertainty about Jesus’ work, miracles and teaching, his pure existence is an inarguable fact. This truth resides in the historical evidence that declares Jesus was born, baptised by John and his crucifixion and…

to prove that Jesus displays God’s characteristics of eternality, proof must be given that He was given God’s power. In order to prove God is real and amongst men, Jesus must use characteristics of God as his evidence; coincidentally, the Bible gives explicit words to do this. The Bible shows that God will not “yield [His] glory to another or [His] praise to idols” (Isaiah 42:8, New International Version). Yet, throughout the New Testament, there are constant callings to praise Jesus. There is…

Miracles, parables, and the life of Jesus Christ. The Gospels encompass the work, life, and teachings of the Son of God. Jesus did miraculous work to show the people 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…

Jesus’ identity can not be better explained that the words of peter, “you are the messiah, who could we turn to but not you.” Jesus’ identity is freedom to my soul in a sense. But that doesn’t mean that he is not the son of God, because he is. But of the “I am…” statements the one that tell really the most of his identity is, “I am the living bread.” To me this is his greatest revealing of who he is. In John 6:51 it says this, “I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this…

the things that Jesus said during his time on earth but for me I generally reference the other gospels more frequently then the book of Mark. Now after reading it again and remembering that Mark was with Peter and Paul I’m wondering if it’s not the Peter influence in Mark’s writing that makes it less organized for me. I love the other books of the Bible that Paul wrote and have studied them intensively over the years. I’m accustomed to Paul’s writing style and thought process,…

VI. Liturgical Analysis Another way to examine this scriptural passage is liturgically or how the Church today keeps the Gospel in living Tradition. This is important because the Gospels and scripture are not just for the times they happened but they are read and explained especially during the liturgy of the mass because they are words that all peoples should live by. John 2:1-11 is proclaimed during the second Sunday in ordinary time. Paired with the Gospel are two readings; the first being…

Christianity, Jesus has always played a major role in the faith. The story of Jesus bines an age old faith that is worshiped throughout the world. The scriptures tell a story of a man, the son of Christ, who suffered unconditionally for man kind. The teachings involving Jesus have stood the test of time and play a monumental role in Christian life. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are the four gospels, they describe the life and teachings of Jesus. Matthew was written to convince the Jews that…

John’s Gospel is set out to prove that Jesus Christ is God. God came in human flesh as Jesus Christ to show His people His great works through miracles and teachings. During Jesus’ time on this earth, He used the claim “I AM” to describe himself throughout all His teachings. The Gospel of John shows at least eight different times Jesus says this. Seven of these claims were accompanied by signs to back up His words. This paper is going to discuss one of these “I AM” statements, “I am the…

and the Jesus Seminar has been an ongoing struggle since 1985. The Jesus Seminar, founded by Robert Funk, originated in 1985 as around 70 biblical scholars set out to determine the legitimacy of Jesus’ sayings (Dart). The Seminar focused on the historicity of Jesus using the best methods of science and literary criticism as it pertains to the Bible. Funk believed that the gospel writers had made Jesus into a “larger than life” figure in order to satisfy their religious desires. The Jesus…

Gospel gives a distinct and unique perspective of the life of Jesus Christ. This was written clearly and purposefully for the hearers. The Gospel is divided in to two major parts in which John unfolds the purpose for which he composed the Gospel. As clear as it is demonstrated in the fourth Gospel. In order to gain a necessary understanding of the purpose of the Gospel, there is a need to unfold and expand on the way of the messiahship of Jesus Christ. John’s unique perspective is purposeful…
