Resurrection of Jesus

the study of Jesus Christ. God sent His only son to this wicked earth to die for the sins of every man, woman, and child. Without Jesus, the world would be a very sinful place. Even in the Old Testament, people were talking about his first coming, and today, Christians are preparing for His second coming. There are many skeptics who know that there was a person named Jesus Christ who lived, but they do not believe the story of his birth. One of the more miraculous things about Jesus is the…

of their complexity, but this is not problem that must persist when accompanied by a clear explanation of these complex issues. The birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus altered and transformed the world by revealing the nature of God to humanity, providing a pattern for a Christian life, and by atoning for the sins of the world. Jesus and the Trinity According to…

In NT Wright’s “Surprised By Hope: Rethinking Heaven, the Resurrection, and the mission of the church, he asks us a question of what is the ultimate Christian hope? In his book, NT Wright argues that the present understandings of future hope about heaven, resurrection, and the mission of the church have confused believers for decades. Wright then introduces us to God’s intended purpose of hope through Jesus that would ultimately change our worldview practically and reshape the mission of the…

Jesus as man Possibly the greatest knowledge and theological driving force behind incarnational ministry is the accounts of Jesus Christ three years of ministry as evidenced within the Gospels. It is within the gospels that the sense of ‘presence’ and service is outworked by Jesus with the people at the time and it is within the Gospels that we see accounts of God relating to human beings on a level that is both human and divine. The balance of human and divine in the life of Christ on earth is…

The gospels do not explain that Jesus founded the movement that spread in the empire. Jesus’ ministry lasted only 1-3 years and ended with his death. Johnson claims that “his teachings were unsystematic and indirect” (17). Furthermore, his followers were not faithful to him. Moreover, the Gospels made clear that something interfered between Jesus death and start of his mission; hence, the mission has a different figure than Jesus. The claim that Jesus has mounted to a new life after death…

to prove that Jesus displays God’s characteristics of eternality, proof must be given that He was given God’s power. In order to prove God is real and amongst men, Jesus must use characteristics of God as his evidence; coincidentally, the Bible gives explicit words to do this. The Bible shows that God will not “yield [His] glory to another or [His] praise to idols” (Isaiah 42:8, New International Version). Yet, throughout the New Testament, there are constant callings to praise Jesus. There is…

and John. Matthew, one of Jesus' disciples, wrote a journal during his apostleship and time he spent with Jesus. This enter book is Matthew's point of view of what he experienced with Jesus. This book was written by Matthew to the Jewish community to try and give a testimony of what he experienced with whom Matthew believes is the Messiah, Jesus. Mark, a scribe, was not one of Jesus' disciples. He took the stories and ministry of Jesus and wrote about them to talk about Jesus as the Messiah.…

victory over death and sin. Jesus goes forth to meet His disciples and every man, woman, and child throughout the ages, including our own. He comes and shares with us His joy, His peace, and the Holy Spirit. He shares His very self “in the breaking…

The Gospel of John seems to display Jesus as a very powerful and persuasive person. Right from the beginning, in (John 1.1-4), Jesus has been described as though he was God. The gospel starts with the lines, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God; all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made.” The detailed descriptions of the signs also promote the idea of Jesus’s greatness. The…

Exaltation of Christ There are four stages of the state of exaltation. 1. Resurrection a. The nature of the resurrection The resurrection of Christ's body and his soul is really real. His body was raised from the dead. Jesus did not rise as a spirit only but as a whole person, body, and soul (Bloesch, 2004). Unlike the other human, His body and soul rose completely. This shows that Christ defeated death. The resurrection of Jesus in his human nature indicates a perfection that is getting raised…
