Seventy Disciples

someone will come to “crush (Satan’s) heel” and rebuild what has been broken. This person is Jesus Christ, whose perfect life qualified him as the son of God to pay for the sins of mankind and defeat sin and the grave. Shalom is even one of God’s seventy-two names in Hebrew and the prophet Isaiah calls Jesus the “Prince of Peace.” Not only did Jesus bring shalom, He Himself is Shalom. Shalom is part of his…

Most people grow up religious, knowing who or what they believe in. Others grow up with no religion at all and only believe in what they see or experience on a daily basis. Growing up without a set religion can confuse a person quite a bit. There are many questions that are left unanswered.

Traces of religious messages can be found just about everywhere in life. Sometimes it requires a finely tuned ear to fully grasp or understand them; however, this is not the case with The Muppet Christmas Carol. There are explicit references and plot lines that directly relate to biblical themes. Two very prominent themes in this movie that can be found in all four New Testament Gospels are: help those in need when possible (stewardship), and forgiveness. Stewardship is seen when Scrooge is…

Finau, all credit the legend as their inspiration. While his potential impact has currently been cut short due to a variety of injuries, the sports world eagerly anticipates his return. In his absence, the physically superior, ethnically diverse disciples whom he has methodically cultivated, will no doubt strive to advance the legacy he has…

rounded up his twelve disciples to follow out his philosophies to spread the word. Written the four Gospels in remembrance of Jesus’s words and deeds. His teaching was universal love in forms such as compassion, tolerance, forgiveness, acceptance, helpfulness, generosity, and gratitude.

In English class, we have read many stories about people with admiral traits. For example, Lincoln was incredibly honest, Kennedy was extraordinarily brave, and Margaret Bourke-White was able to have a sense of humor in difficult times. Although these three people possessed equally important traits, however, others throughout history who have also expressed their fine characteristics and inspired others.
