Resurrection of Jesus

and what he preached at the time. In this book, Jesus is focused on more based on his deeds, rather than the words he preached, he is seen as being a vivid person through this Gospel. Mark’s writing were believed to target the audience of non-Jewish and Gentile-Christian groups. One of the central themes located within Mark’s Gospel is that following Jesus was often meant that Christians must suffer like Jesus did. Mark paints the portrait that Jesus Christ was a Suffering Messiah for all…

Prayer: “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, grant mercy and healing upon us, who grieve. Amen.” Love: An Ethical Decision Read: Song of Solomon John Wesley is known as a founder of the Methodist Movement in search of the Scriptural way of salvation and a life of holiness. A member of the holy club at Oxford in the 18th Century, he studied in the tradition of piety seeking inner peace and divine grace.

actions (Romans 5:12, Genesis 3:1-7). Paul believed that, via his resurrection, Jesus conquered both sin and death. John’s gospel (John 15:22, 24) seems to state that those who hear Christ live sinless. 1 John 4:12-17 states that sin cannot reside where love is present. Ultimately, Acts and the gospels dominated, making readers aware that the gospels were addressed to sinners on behalf of sinners. Luke makes the most references to sin. Jesus’ community was a collection of sinners seeking…

and New Testaments. It tells the story of God’s redemptive love for His highest creation – man. The Bible describes God, tells how mankind was created to live, the way they became separated from God, and God’s plan for restoration through His Son, Jesus Christ. God: God is infinite in all ways; meaning He is infinite in knowledge, time, space, and power. God has many attributes that set Him apart from His creation. God is spirit; therefore, He is not confined to a physical being (John 4:24,…

functions within the Godhead. As a Moravian Christian, I look to Jesus Christ as the ultimate example of what we can know about God’s nature. Moravians have at times been accused of being too Christocentric. However, Jesus’ selfless life, death, and resurrection provide a model for us for how we experience God and God’s kingdom on earth. Jesus’ life of service shows us how we are to live and serve as the hands and feet of Jesus Christ to a hurting world. The Holy Spirit is in and of and…

information as 90% of the book of Mark is included in Matthew. Furthermore, the book of John doesn’t include key events such as the exorcism Jesus performs or the presence of lepers. While, Matthew 4:1-11 and Luke 4:1-13 share specific details such as the temptations faced by Christ in the wilderness after his baptism. There is very little information about Jesus Christ in first century Jewish texts and virtually none in Roman sources until the second century. So any information provided about…

happen in precisely the same way (Jesus does not calm the sea, Peter’s three denials of Jesus). John’s gospel contains many events that are not included in Mark’s gospel (water into wine, the woman at the well, washing of the disciples feet) and it spans three Passovers. John’s gospel begins with the creation of the world and tells us that Jesus was present with God at that time. Since Jesus was with God before the creation of the world John stresses that Jesus is the word of God made human…

child to me being an adult and raising my own family. There are worldviews that don’t even believe in God or have different beliefs in a God of their own understanding. In this paper I will talk about who God is, how humanity played a part, who is Jesus, and restoring everything back to God. God is good. God is trinity, one God he is the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit. Everything that God stands for is love. God is omnipotent. According to Hiles and Smith (2014) “Some attributes distinctly…

. As we mature in our faith, we remain surrounded by God’s sanctifying grace and blessed recipients of God’s love. God’s sanctifying grace moves us forward in our journey of service and love of God. It creates in us a maturity of faith, love and service. God remains in covenant with us, never leaving us, always enabling us to grow in our life-long journey of faith. What are the marks of the Christian life? Micah 6:8- “and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love…

Jesus told his disciples specifically which donkey to choose. This was prophesied in the old testament by Zechariah, that a king would ride in on a colt. Jesus gave instructions that the disciples were to untie the donkey, and if they were asked what they were doing say it was for the Lord. They did exactly that, but this was a donkey that had never been ridden. The owner of this donkey asked the disciples and they did exactly as Jesus said. The owner without question…
