Resurrection of Jesus

respectively by two of Jesus Christ’s followers. John was a fisherman, chosen by Jesus to become a part of his close circle of followers the disciples. Luke, on the other hand, was a physician by profession that did not know Jesus personally, but gained his insight from speaking with those that had firsthand knowledge of Jesus. They each present the accounts of Jesus’ life with their own individual perspective, thereby giving the reader a more complete understanding of who Jesus really was. THE…

“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…

metaphorical comparison between religion and movies to claim that Cool Hand Luke is “about the Passion and Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ” (102). He substantiates his claim with in-depth mise-en- scène analysis, which does make Barron’s argument convincing, but to a certain extent. Barron highlights how Lucas Jackson’s figure movement and expressions symbolize that of Jesus Christ. For example, when he says “Luke is [seen] repeatedly stretching his arms akimbo, spread-eagled so that his…

Bible, it prophesied of the coming of Jesus of Nazareth, whom many believed to be the founder of the Christian religion as well as the Son of God. Throughout the history of Christianity, there were major changes to its sphere of influence and its geographical and political implications, while consistently keeping its core monotheistic values. For the sake of this essay we will consider Jesus of Nazareth, as the founder of Christianity. During the life of Jesus, He taught that He was the way to…

Was Jesus Really The Messiah Jesus has been called an imposter [simply a good man], and others believe Him to be the Messiah; so, is Jesus the son of Joseph or the Divine Son of God. The fact that Jesus lived needs no proof, but if He was the son of Joseph, then He was simply a man; nonetheless, if only a man, why has there not been through all the years another man His equal? Fact is, if He is not Deity, He is unexplainable. If He was just a man, the claims He made were not true and that…

finished in 1541, and depicts the second advent of Jesus Christ, as well as the final judgement of humanity during the second coming. Marcia B. Hall, and Leo Steinberg offer their views on what Michelangelo’s Last Judgement depicts. Both use a variety of resources to dissect the Last Judgement to determine what Michelangelo was trying to depict in his fresco scene. Marcia B. Hall argues in her article “Michelangelo’s Last Judgement: Resurrection of the Body and Predestination” that…

turn to Jesus to keep God from doing what God would like to do to us. Jesus is himself the coming of "God our Savior, who desires everyone to be saved" (1Tim. 2: 3-4). The death of Jesus for us is God 's own action to fulfill that desire. "All this is from God, he reconciled us to himself through Christ (2 Cor. 5:18). The doctrine of the atonement should awaken us first of all not terror of God 's wrath, but joyful thanksgiving for God 's love…

Before discussing the scripture in detail, he clarifies the meaning of each word, such as death, immortality, resurrection, and sheol. He also points out that the distinct difference between the Greek tradition of radical dualism and Christianity mainly comes from the different understanding of the self (85). And, he illuminates the New Testament in light of four perspectives. Firstly, Jesus shows the influence of apocalyptic thought in that he firmly declared that the righteous would be…

However, before the Church ever administered any sacrament, She already had faith that was given to Her by the early disciples who received it directly from Jesus. (cf. O’Neill pg. 71) The faith of Our Lady and the apostles was given to the Church so that She could apply the benefits of Jesus’ death on the cross to the rest of humanity. (cf. Ibid.) O’Neill points out that without faith there could not be any sacraments because they are signs that rely on faith. (cf. Ibid…

could argue that many, if not all, of Corinth's problems stemmed from a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of the resurrection. Discuss how the Corinthians misinterpreted Paul's teachings on the resurrection and how that misunderstanding led to the various problems in that community. One of the big issues was that the people of Corinth did not understand the resurrection. The people of Corinth believed that they were already living as the exalted and they were reaping the benefits…
