Miracles of Jesus

In John 13:1-7, the Bible portrays Jesus washing His disciples’ feet, shortly before He was to be crucified on the cross. In this act of kindness, Jesus was demonstrating humility, and that all Christians must be willing to be servants for others. By washing and cleaning the feet of his disciples, He was demonstrating His love for them. Christians should not think they are superior or better than those who do not hold to the same faith, and they are called to lay aside their pride, serve the…

Authors profusely use themes to add dimension, help the reader understand, and direct the reader in following the path of novel’s intention. Providing a novel with the structural value of a theme, the author keeps the reader guided. In a Prayer for Owen Meany, John Irving uses themes to combine the complexity of his work. Without the theme of religion/doubt tying in with fate versus free will, the novel would lose substance and value. Faith and religion, without a doubt, is the underlying main…

Walking on the Water from the gospel of Matthew. In this passage Jesus sends the disciples out across the sea while He goes to pray up on the mountain. As the disciples sailed off, the boat got caught in a storm. In the middle of the night Jesus began to approach the disciples, and at first they did not believe that it was really Him. They said fearfully that it was not really Christ, but that it was a ghost. Peter then tells Jesus to command him to come to Him on the water if it really is…

Many assumptions are made when it comes to Christianity. Is Jesus Christ human, divine, or both? How do we know the answer? Different people believe different things but there is proof in not only the Bible, but also many other sources that Jesus Christ is both fully human and fully divine. “In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God; He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made”, John 1:1-3 (2…

of God and Jesus. That through them they have been given the power to heal other. They only ask for donations from those that believe they have been or will be healed. These people are wanting so badly to be healed, they will give any amount and go with out in the hope to be healed or have a loved one healed. In the video “Question of Miracles” part 1 & 2 (www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmclWMdKLs8, www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeT8Mx2Lrr8), shows the extent people are willing to go for a miracle, they want…

they are: “first reliable traditions about Jesus and the early Christian movement have been handed down by eyewitnesses, second Luke has made careful investigation of these experiences and reports and third, he dedicates his work to the reader’s knowledge and growth in the Christian faith” (194). In the heading Initial Witness to Christ in and around Jerusalem (1:1-2:47), talks about Jesus legacy and he left his own experience of his personal presence. “Jesus plainly and publicly died, his…

“Lord, come and see.” Jesus wept. Then the Jews said, “See how He loved him!” And some of them said, “Could not this Man, who opened the eyes of the blind, also have kept this man from dying?” (John 11:34-37) “Jesus wept”, in itself, is the shortest verse in the entirety of the Bible. It is two words, which in a sense, have never been said prior to this moment. Two words that may change the way one views Jesus, and how Jesus can relate to humankind. In itself, the verse “Jesus wept” can be…

history. One certainly does not have to be a Christian to know or even be familiar with the story Jesus Christ’s Passion, Death and Resurrection. In “Killing Jesus”, Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard give the reader an inside look of what the life of Jesus was like leading up to and during these historic events, as well as the culture and setting of this time period. The audience reading “Killing Jesus” would more than likely classify the book to be more of an informative and historical piece,…
