This seemed like a problem for the church. Many people did not want to accept a tradition that places Jesus below others, well so they thought. Many thought Jesus was a man free of sin, and they also thought why did he need to be baptized? After his baptism, he worked hard time and time again spreading the gospel to bring the message and love of God to many people. Jesus walked and walked for long periods to get to his destinations. Today we have many forms of transportation, but imagine walking for weeks and weeks to get somewhere. Jesus seemed like he was always faced with tough choices in his life.

  • What If Jesus of Nazareth Had Not Died of Crucifixion?

    810 Words  | 2 Pages

    Jesus grew up to become a carpenter in Bethlehem. He continued to do this until the age of 30; at which he started his ministry, approximately at 24 BCE. He gathered 12 apostles (Peter, James the Greater, James the Lesser, Andrew, Bartholomew, Judas Iscariot, John, Simon, Phillip, Jude, Matthew, Thomas), who were his innermost circle of supporters, and hundreds of disciples, who followed him and agreed with his views on religion. As Jesus proliferated his message all over Judea, he also performed many miracles, such as turning water into wine and walking on water. About a week before his death, Jesus returned triumphantly to Jerusalem, a day that is still celebrated by Christians all over the world as Palm Sunday. However, just as soon as Jesus gained popularity, everything suddenly changed.

  • The Case For Christ: A Journalist's Personal Investigation Of The Evidence For Jesus

    1045 Words  | 3 Pages

    Being a Christian and a student of Communications, I felt compelled to reading The Case for Christ. I decided to use this book for this review especially due to the large amount of criticisms and backlash it had received. Lee Strobel is known for being a hard-nosed skeptical journalist and ex-investigative reporter for the Chicago Tribune. He also described himself as a "former spiritual skeptic" before his personal mission for the proof of God. Skeptics around the world claim that Jesus either never said He was God or He never exemplified the activities and mindset of God. Either way they rather triumphantly proclaim that Jesus was just a man. Some will go so far as to suggest that He was a very moral and special man, but a man nonetheless. For Strobel, there was far too much evidence against the idea of God, let alone the possibility that God became a man. God was just mythology, superstition, or wishful thinking.

  • Quest For The Historical Jesus Analysis

    600 Words  | 2 Pages

    When one thinks of the phrase “quest for the Historical Jesus”, one cannot help but imagine a perilous journey into the heart of Bethlehem for this “historical Jesus.” While a choose-your-own adventure may sound appealing, a perilous quest for the Historical Jesus is not what is being conveyed. This quest is a reflection of who Jesus was and what He was like. Was this omnipotent, all-loving incarnation of God an accurate reflection of what we know? The view of Christ’s life has undergone critical study, analyzation through the Reformation, the Enlightenment, and even modern times. What is this “historical Jesus” then? What lens are we viewing this from? There are no “eyewitness” accounts written about Jesus; thus historians must rely on the

  • Gospel Of John Research Paper

    1017 Words  | 3 Pages

    The New Testament teaches about who Jesus is and what he did on the earth. John wrote the last of the four gospels which recount Jesus’ life and what is to come. The gospel of John is somewhat different from the other three gospels, in that it is more symbolic and less concrete. For example, John expresses Jesus as the Passover Lamb when Matthew, Mark, and Luke do not. This gospel is showing that Christianity is moving away from the long-practiced Jewish traditions. John’s gospel can be laid out into four parts: the prologue or the incarnate word, signs of the Messiah with teachings about life in him, the farewell teaching and the passion narrative, and the epilogue or the roles of Peter and of the disciple whom Jesus loved. The Gospel of John is arguably the most

  • Death in Different Religions

    1654 Words  | 4 Pages

    Christianity started as a missionary religion and has now become the world's most widespread faith. It focuses on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. The traditional story of Jesus tells of his birth in a stable in Bethlehem in the Holy Land, to a young virgin called Mary who had become pregnant with the son of God through the action of the Holy Spirit. The story of Jesus' birth is told in the writings of Matthew and Luke in the New Testament of the Bible. The New Testament, a collection of twenty-seven books written in the century after Jesus' death in 30 C.E., has had importance by shaping the church's teachings, ethics, ritual, organization, and mission in the world (Van Voorst 245). His birth is believed by Christians to be the fulfillment of prophecies in the Jewish Old Testament which claimed that a Messiah would deliver the Jewish people from captivity ("The Basics").

  • Jesus and Moses

    2248 Words  | 5 Pages

    Jesus was raised under Judaism and sternly believed in the practices and Jewish customs. In Luke 2:41-52, Luke reveals that Jesus went missing one time from his parents and was later found teaching in his town’s temple. For me, this story shows that from the beginning Jesus was a man of faith with the great ability of explaining and preaching God’s word. I honestly believe Jesus was placed on this earth to teach us unconditional and infinite devotion to God. He lived exactly as humans did. He experienced the same trials and tribulations, the same pains and pleasures of man, and, more importantly, he died to save us from our sins and show what true faith really is. His strength and power lies in his ability to not cave in to worldly urges and to exhibit self control the way God wanted it to be by never reacting with sin.

  • What Is The Reflection Of The Boy Jesus At The Temple

    1309 Words  | 3 Pages

    Jesus, in addition to being identified as the central figure of world’s largest religion, is widely recognized as a historical figure. While historical Jesus scholars do not have any verifiable information about his childhood, Jesus was human, and thus must have been a child. The Gospel of Luke presents a story about the boy Jesus. While it is unlikely that this story holds any historical weight, it does provide an image of Jesus that is relevant and valuable to the Gospel of Luke. In Luke 's story of the "Boy Jesus at the Temple," Jesus simultaneously acknowledges that he is human and divine by demonstrating his loyalties to both his parents and God. This argument will first address how the boy Jesus understood his identity as
