Resurrection of Jesus

always been God intention that we model after him. From the beginning of time, he called us to follow his lead. Just as God walked with Adam and Eve, so did Jesus walk with his disciples. God fellowshipped with Adam and Eve and walked with them daily; Jesus in turn walked and fellowshipped everyday teaching his disciples. Throughout Jesus’ ministry he lead by example. Spending quiet time with God, through prayer and fasting, talking to sinners, healing the sick, giving sight to the blind,…

becomes allegorical to the story of Jesus in much of her history. Literal versus Spiritual interpretation is not only seen in Beloved, but in the Bible: “Then Jesus said to them again, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.’” (John 10:7 NKJV)”. Jesus is not literally a door nor interacting with sheep, but is rather a representation of the door of salvation as seen through a common contemporary metaphor of sheep and their…

religious peoples were the norm, the majority, and sitting there surrounding by people swaying and singing and saying “amen” between pauses, I felt like I was the outsider. The misfit who had come to invade a place “filled with the tangible light of Jesus” to observe but not participate. It felt wrong to me, to be there. Not because of the lack of warmth or friendliness of the believers but because of my lack of…

appeared and showed his nail-scarred hands to the injured Muslim, who also noticed the blood on the man’s legs and the side of his chest. Yakoobi recognized the man as Jesus Christ, who conveyed the message of His resurrection and salvation. At that moment, the former extremist was healed and knelt down to profess his faith in Jesus before the cloud disappeared. He went home and shared the same message to his family and friends, and they later asked the pastor for forgiveness and helped rebuild…

affects us as Calvin notes, the election and mercy of God, the imputation of Christ, and the impartation by the Holy Spirit lead me to a point in which I no longer am defined by my sin nature. Literally, my sin nature died when Christ died. When Jesus died as our Christus Victor, he defeated death. As Paul says, I become a new person, the old one is dead, and my new birth has been complete. I am a new person, because the Holy Spirit imparts God’s holiness into my life and transforms me to be…

Christmas Vespors The Christmas Vespers was based on the nine lessons which were Christmas carols. It also included reading from the scripture. The main idea of the Christmas Vespers was to embrace the birth of Jesus and the fall of man kind. Instead of just telling the story through the scripture music was added appositely to the nine readings. This rendition of the Christmas Vespers was exceptionally enjoyable. The show opened up with the Adam giving into the temptation to Eve and the apple.…

Name: Title: Institution: After careful watch on the film, Heart of God by John Eldredge my perception on certain aspects has really drifted. The short clip emphasizes Jesus love, which is based on outward and unconditional heart relationship. My perceptions and attitude has really changed. It has been my worry every time I think about death, especially when reflecting upon many years to come. Feelings of fear had taken a really portion of my heart, fortunately after watching the video, I know…

It is interesting concept that the four Gospels delineate the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus, with little attention giving to his life and development as a leader. Matthew and Luke’s Gospels trace Jesus’ genealogy. In Mark’s Gospel, Jesus is introduced as a grown man whereas John focus on His Divinity. Granted, we scrutinize, dissect, exegete and preach his teachings and ministry, but we never consider the sociopolitical dynamics of his early life’s that shaped and formed his ministry.…

of the past two millennia, Christians now find the faith manifesting itself in cultures outside the traditional paradigm. Missions work claims a large responsibility for this phenomenon as missionaries have followed the instructions of Jesus in Matthew 28:19-20. Jesus says, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" and many Christians interpret…

Prof. Mark J. Ackerman 5/2/2018 The understanding of Jesus and his divinity is taken for granted by contemporary Christians today. We have our pastors, different versions of the Bible, and Bible Study Commentaries. Access to at least the Bible was not a luxury of our Early Church Fathers in the fourth and fifth century had within their reach. Thankfully, those 4th and 5th century Church Fathers took the time to address the divinity of Jesus Christ, however, in their quest, there was more…
