Recommended: Book of Exodus at a Glance

God uses Jesus to help the population in all different ways. Jesus helps the blind see, he clothes the poor, and overall, can cure anyone who is worthy. God shows his presence through Jesus so the people of earth have someone to follow. Even today we see God work his wonders even without the presence of Jesus. God shows miracles which no one would believe if they were not reality. God’s presence in the world is mediated through nature and reality as seen in the readings of The Gospel of Matthew and The Book of Exodus. The Gospel of Matthew, shows examples of God’s presence being shown through nature. Jesus gets on a boat and the disciples follow behind him. A storm quickly approaches. The waves begin to flood the boat while Jesus is sleeping, but the disciples decide to wake him. They cry to him for help, saying the boat is sinking. Jesus is not scared though. He wonders why the disciples do not have faith. Jesus got up, showed disapproval of the storm, and then the sea and air was calm. The disciples were in awe (Matthew 8:23-27). This is a clear example of how God’s presence is shown through …show more content…

This is evident in The Gospel of Matthew as well as The Book of Genesis. In The Gospel of Matthew, God shows his presence through Jesus and the storm by stopping a windy storm when the disciples were in trouble. Also, he shows his presence through Jesus by enabling him to walk on water. In addition, God shows himself through Jesus when Jesus fed five thousand people with a small amount of food. Finally, God shows his presence in The Gospel of Matthew through Jesus by resurrecting him so he can live reality again and help out people in need. God also shows his company through The Book of Genesis because God is seen through all of his creations throughout nature. Also, God is seen through Humans and the reality they live. Humans were created to do good for the world as God does good for

    In order to make sense of these inherently opposite features, we must seek a higher authority and focus on God’s beauty, mercy, love, and grace. Our God, who is the creator of the world, has a plan for us all and intends for us to seek out His will. When we look around us and see that God created and feeds the sparrow just as he created and feeds us, we can begin to understand God’s will and His purpose for us. The entire enormity of this world and what God created becomes clearer. God seeks a relationship with us. There are times when reading the Bible, a passage or verse may seem too confusing or unrelatable in our current situation, although a God who created nature and everything in it always reveals the truth in His time for His plan for

    It was wholly necessary that God manifest Himself to the world through Jesus Christ to save us from corruption. This corruption included sin and death, and the worshipping of other gods. Manifestation was necessary to be in the human form because otherwise, those people who needed to see to believe, would have remained doubtful. It was not an easy road to salvation for Jesus, but all was necessary to accomplish God’s plan, and to give us hope in eternal life in the kingdom of Heaven. Today, Jesus is still plays an active role in each of our lives.

    “In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to the Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:14). Jesus reiterates that the people of God should strive to bring glory through their actions to God so that their light shines and all the nations can be blessed. We see in Matthew that Jesus preforms many miracles, and is able to bless many people through them. “And in his name the Gentiles will hope” (Matthew 12:21). This verse, along with the ones before it, from the prophet Isaiah, explain why Jesus healed the crippled man; Jesus’s miracle will bring hope to the Gentiles. This hope to the Gentiles brings God to all nations, as part of the global restoration

  • The Unique relationship between God & Mankind in Genesis

    1966 Words  | 4 Pages

    When you read chapter one of Genesis you have the feeling that God is perfect. God holds all power and control. God turns chaos into order. "God said 'Let there be light.' And there was light, And God saw the light, that it was good" (Gen 1. 3). God's word is action, God's word is law in the universe. When God creates something, he ends it with God seeing that's its good. This is in effect giving support to the perfect nature that is God and the creations God has made. "God does not play dice" (Armstrong 9), God has order and a purpose for what he makes. An important aspect to God is seen while he is creating the world. He separates water from land. Light from Darkens, Day and Night, Male and Female. This shows that boundaries are important to God. We see examples where God put boundaries on mankind with their language by mixing the language up so confuse man and killing off the evil from the good.

  • The Birth Of Christ: The Story Of Jesus Christ

    Christ states that he was brought into this world to deliver the message that the Lord has for humanity. He was sent to this world to preach about the word of the Lord. Christ announces his only purpose which is to save humanity and to preach about the good news that comes when humanity stops engaging in violence. In Nazareth, Jesus reads from the book of the prophet Isaiah, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because God has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. God has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free and to proclaim a year acceptable to the Lord” (Luke 4:18-19). This is one of the most striking moments of Christ ministry. The message of this passage is that the word of the Lord has been fulfilled and that God has sent him to proclaim the good news to the poor. The good news that God was referring meant that both the sick and oppressed would be

    ...though some of Jesus' messages and teachings were diluted or miscommunicated through the expansion of a religious institution, Jesus' original words and life still speak loudly for themselves. Only a few months later in that same city of Jerusalem one record states that some 3000 new followers were added in a single day. The religious leaders responded by trying to stomp out Jesus' followers. Many of these people chose to die rather than deny their belief that Jesus was truly God. This is how faithful Jesus' followers were. So as you can see Jesus Christ lived a hard yet experiencing life. He changed the lives of others, help them by taking away their sickness and giving them good health, and also helped those in need and started a very popular faith within christianity which is followed by million and millions of individuals each day, and is still increasing rapidly.
