The Passion of the Christ

The three passion predictions in the Gospel Of Mark have very similar structures. They each talk about the Son of Man suffering at the hands of other men and eventually dying then being resurrected after three days. Additionally, they also talk about how his followers were unable to comprehend what he was saying. In the first prediction found in Mark 8:31-33 Jesus tells “them” referring to his disciples that “The Son of Man must suffer greatly and be rejected by elders, the chief priests and…

overwhelming expression of love in its carnal as well as spiritual form as the soul approaches union with God” (Kroll, Bachrach and Carey 84 and 85). Such piety, where the body underwent physical and emotional suffering in order to reenact the Passion of Christ, became a well known type of worship during the middle ages. The mystics who experienced such suffering, each adhered to a set of daily tasks, which made them suitable to enter the reign of God. These daily tasks, especially of Saint…

links between better-performing boards and superior charity performance beyond industry knowledge” (Brown 2005; Herman and Renz 2000) (As cited in Harris, 2014, p. 113). Paul, wrote, “I Press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” Phil. 3:14 (NIV). "Towards," expresses the aim; "Unto,” the end, and the “high calling” upward (NIV). Board members are held to a higher standard of confidence, service, and commitment to mission. Worth (2014) noted, “Boards are…

Jesus came into my life at a young age and I am blessed to have been raised in the church. Growing up, I valued displaying the characteristics of Christ through my actions because I was extremely shy, but I had influence with people I was connected with. My mission field has been my volleyball team and classmates throughout grade school. Not only did I love in a big way, but I modeled Christ's love through my actions. The leadership roles that I have held, empowered me to influence the lives of…

adults find answers in the search for identity. He states: The single adult, whether Christian or not, whether spiritual or not, must realize that he is a member of the human race and as such in need of redemption. He must realize he is one who Christ died for. Also, the single adult must realize that he or she is a child of God and a special concern for God’s love. The single adult must have a…

In this essay, the author gives a straightforward engagement of St. Athanasius’s book On the Incarnation. This book, as noted by Athanasius, was to be an “elementary sketch and paradigm of the faith of Christ and his divine manifestation to us” (Inc. 56). In light of these minor remarks, this engagement will include three areas: 1) sketch Athanasius’s book, 2) offer critical reflection, and 3) suggest a constructive way to bolster the argument. Before beginning one additional remark, CS Lewis…

This acknowledgement of the corruption, is what started his passion for bringing the Catholic corruption to light. Through this, Tyndale also realized the need for every common man to be able to read the Bible for himself, one of the leading priorities in Tyndale’s life. Unlike most who would use the Latin…

developed in Northern Europe. Gothic painting was much like its sculptures being that they developed from the stiff look into a more naturalistic look. Gothic painting became big in the 14th century when it was used behind altars such as the passion of christ and the virgin mary. Paintings continued to develop into more complex details and and…

parables, and the life of Jesus Christ. The Gospels encompass the work, life, and teachings of the Son of God. Jesus did miraculous work to show the people around him his true identity. Christ preached to crowds of thousands, his message heard throughout the land even after he rose to his father in heaven. All of these events have been recorded in the four Gospels in the New Testament. The authors, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, all capture the extraordinary life of Jesus Christ from very…

The original short story was rushed to the point where it was not even proofread before being turned in. The short story “Ruff & Bark; Politics with a Furry Passion” was based off of an idea that I had humorously concocted in my head while discussing the Republican Primary with a Donald Trump supporter. The supporter of Mr. Trump blindly defended Trump on his platforms and policies flip flops, in such a way that…
