Resurrection of Jesus

for atheists because Keller does not do well as explaining and pursuing the doubt in Christian. Firstly, the strength in the book focused mainly in part two of the book. For example, Keller has good sources from N.T. Wright: “ The message of the resurrection is that the world matters! That the injustice and pains of this present world must now be addressed with the news that healing, justice and love have won...” (Keller 221). This statement is not only contributes the people to have faith in…

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,…

Triumphal entry into Jerusalem (Matthew 21:1-11) Jesus and his disciples are on their way to Jerusalem for the Passover feast. In Jerusalem was crowded with many people who had come for the annual Passover celebration in a springtime Sunday. Jesus had spent for traveling through the towns and villages of Palestine. He preached about the kingdom of God and healed the sick. Now the time had come for Him to claim as the Messiah. Jesus knew His mission was almost finished and He warned his…

“consciousness that we are inwardly conformed by the Spirit of God to the image of the Son. “The testimony of the Spirit is an inward impression on the soul, whereby the Spirit of God directly witnesses to my spirit that I am a child of God, that Jesus Christ hath loved me, and given himself for me, that all my sins are blotted out, and I, even I am reconciled to God” (274). When our “spiritual senses are rightly disposed” we are able to intuit the difference between spiritual light and…

cross and die with Him, gaining one’s life is to follow Him out of the grave into resurrection. Again, the word “for” is used as a transitional word, stating the second reason for discipleship as well as expanding on the previous statement (Chouinard 306). In verse 26 Jesus says “For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?” Here, Jesus used two rhetorical questions to illustrate the value of life. It is…

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…

Jesus’ mission is simple. He must pass through his life by serving the people he commands and die on the cross.He does this as the Son of Man . The New interpreter’s dictionary states that the Son of Man is equivalent to the Messiah. That is portraying Jesus simply, but who is Jesus really. Particularly who and what is the Son of Man. Jesus’ identity is a reasonable authoritarian and a suffering servant as derived from his title, which is “The Son of Man.” Through this his purpose is to…

Greif is a peculiar reaction to any substantial loss. Every person deal with its repercussion in an irreplaceable approach (Healgrief.org, 2012). There are many forms of grief such as loved one’s loss, health loss or relationship loss. Each person’s torment varies in respect to the form of emotional state allied to the grief reaction. It can be emanated as misperception, irritation, guilt and wretchedness. The person may feel disheartened and devastated however it is a consistent method during…

ages before Christ and God’s dealings with humanity and the covenant which was made with Adam and Eve, Noah and Abraham with Moses etc., which were described by the Prophets. The New Testament has taught that God’s dealings with humanity were through Jesus Christ and it includes the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Matthew, the tax collector, is the most important Gospel of all because it contains all the elements important to the early church: the story of Jesus’s miraculous conception;…

When Jesus ascended it marked the completion of his ministry on earth. Verse 1 Acts 1 and Luke 24 have much overlap between them. “Without the book of Acts the story of Jesus would be incomplete. Afterall, he didn’t come merely to save individuals to get them to heaven, but to create a community that would carry out God’s kingdom.” Luke tells the story of Jesus and Acts tells how Jesus’ ministry comes to a close and begins the work of the Holy Spirit. Verse 2 With the ascension, Jesus no…
