Jesus reflection essay

Jesus continues to preach. He forbids divorce and advocates chastity, while expounding the virtues of asceticism. He warns against the pitfalls of wealth, teaches forgiveness, and welcomes children. In Jerusalem, cheering crowds await him. People “spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road” (Matthew 21:8). Upon his arrival in Jerusalem, Jesus expels money changers from the Jewish temple and defies the chief priests and elders, saying, “My house

Jesus’ tells a parable about a man who was going away on a journey. This man was rich and before he left on this trip, he very generously gave and entrusted some of his property to 3 of his servants. What he had given to them was no small amount! Yet, the master was also very wise in his giving. He knew each of these people well and he gave to each of them according to their ability. He didn’t give any servant more than that which he could handle. For us, who have the entirety of Scripture to look

discovering how Jesus kept Himself from resentment. The following passage took place in September or October of 29AD right before the Feast of Tabernacles (Booths). This feast was a time of celebration and thanksgiving for the harvest. It was also a time spent remembering God’s faithfulness to Israel during their 40 years wandering in the wilderness after Moses lead their escape from captivity in Egypt. Please read John 7:1-10. This passage helps us see how fully human Jesus really was

but also the word that left a lasting impact. The character of Jesus Christ has always portrayed a spirit of compassion and love for those lost in hurt and pain. Jesus Christ instruction was divine and anointed, as believers the instructions are no different. The common approach to any unexpected should be prayer because not all of God’s people response the same in crisis. A person losing a love one to death is not same as a love one being in a nursing home, or house fire. Training is important

The Gospel of Luke Jesus describes his purpose as one of preaching the good news of the Kingdom of God, saying, “I must preach the good news of the Kingdom of God to other towns as well, for I was sent for this purpose.” (Luke 4:43) Jesus told parables to help us grow a closer relationship with God and to stimulate fresh ways of thought, decision, and action. C.H. Dodd wrote, “At its simplest the parable is a metaphor or simile drawn from nature or common life, arresting the hearer by its vividness

holy life. That person is Jesus Christ, the Son of God, he came to this world as a man and lived a sinless life. In the Bible, we learn of many different characters, but none of them lived a perfect life except for Jesus. By reading the Bible, we can determine that Jesus is all knowing, all powerful, and all loving. For starters, Jesus is all knowing. In the Bible we can find numerous examples of his intelligence. For example, in John 16:30 his disciples are talking to Jesus and they say, “Now we

Before Jesus came to earth he existed as God in heaven. He shared equal honor with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. Jesus also emphasizes this in his prayer that is recorded in John 17:5. Think about this honored position that Jesus had before he came to this world. Revelation 21 and 22 gives us a clear portrait of heaven. We read about a beautiful city in which Christ lives. Its streets are made of gold and walls are made of jewels. It is a place where pain, suffering, and death are unknown

Explanation: At this point, Jesus turns to prayer. He had finished his discourse addressed to the disciples, but he continued his instruction in prayer. And so he said, “Father, the hour is come.” He asked the Father to glorify the Son, that the Son would glorify him. For the Father had given the Son power over all things and he would give eternal life to all that were given him, that they might know the Father and the Son. And Jesus had glorified the Father during his time on earth and finished

what I have read, viewed, and learned about Jesus’ life. In the following piece I will be reviewing the following topics and how they coincide with my own life and experiences. The topics are as follow: Jesus’ Teachings, Miracles, and His Death and Resurrection. I have chosen these particular topics because I can relate to them in some spectrum of my life to the present day as well as the fact that I specifically admire what these topics entail. In Jesus Teachings (Matthew 5:9, NKJV), “Blessed are

Everybody likes Jesus. Well that is something I have not heard. The title of Chapter one made me ponder before even reading it. Does everyone like Jesus? In my life I do not take it as everyone likes Jesus, not everyone knows who Jesus even is. Jesus is in other religions, which the believers of those religions may like Jesus, but they like him in a different way than we as Christians do. Strauss begins talking about other religions and how they love Jesus, but as he puts it they love Jesus the way they
