Recommended: Essays on being a disciple

The disciples have to be a group of men that we can say have experienced many of the greatest moments. In that they witnessed Jesus healing the sick, raising the dead, feeding five thousand with almost nothing, and eloquently teaching the gospel like none other. Consequently, He became their everything, the one they looked to for whatever they were facing. Furthermore, they followed Him wherever He led them, which sometimes led to difficulties that would be considered their lowest moments. I’m reminded of the Garden of Gethsemane that faithful day when our Lord would be arrested, disrespected, and ultimately crucified. Howbeit, that this One with such great power and authority who even walked on water, would find Himself on trial. Matthew

  • The Parables In The Book Of Matthew

    1445 Words  | 3 Pages

    The word parable draws its origin from the Greek word “parabole” which loosely translates to mean “to cast” (bole) some things, related or otherwise “alongside” (para) each other to infer the intended deeper meaning to the target audience. (Unlocking The Prophecy Code). Therefore, it makes sense for a parable to be a comparison of two or more related things that are put together on a parallel that enables proper distinction between them to enhance clarity in teachings such that their hidden meanings get revealed. The book of Matthew presents a variety of parables, with each parable addressing a particular thematic concern enshrined in the religious teachings. Consequently, it is right to postulate that Jesus used parables primarily as teaching aids by incorporating analogies and comparisons of things earthly and those belonging to the heavenly realm. The parable about the shepherd and the parable about the servant, both in chapter 18, show different natures of humankind. While the parable about the shepherd portrays unconditional forgiveness, the parable about the servant portrays justice based forgiveness.

  • The Gospel of Matthew

    1550 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Gospel of Matthew is an eyewitness story written for an audience of believers, under great stress, and persecution. Matthew develops a theological plot incorporating genealogy, speeches, parables, inter and intra textual references, common vocabulary, and fulfillment quotations, with a tension that builds as we are invited into the story. The crucifixion and resurrection bring us to a Christological climax that symbolically points beyond its conclusion to God’s Kingdom, bringing atonement, salvation and the ushering in the Eschaton. The extraordinary events surrounding the crucifixion act as commentary, adding important details concerning the death of Jesus.1

  • A Seat In The Garden By Thomas King Essay

    1119 Words  | 3 Pages

    In Thomas King’s A Seat in the Garden, I found it intriguing that at the end of the story the big Indian remained in Joe’s garden despite everything that he and Red had done to try to get rid of him. Additionally this is because in the type of story that King is parodying, that of the innocent whites being hounded by a relentless Native spirit, said spirit is typically dispersed through either destruction or appeasement. However, in King’s story, as evident by Joe’s multiple failed attempts to wack the big Indian with a shovel, destruction does not work and, as evident by the fact that the big Indian remains after Joe and Red built the bench, neither does appeasement. This, in turn, implies that, unlike in the story that King is parodying, the big Indian will continue to haunt Joe and Red.

    In "Kew Gardens," the narrator follows different visitors to the gardens, giving the reader brief snapshots of their lives through small descriptions as they reach the same flowerbed. The story begins with a description of the oval-shaped flowerbed. The flowers are red, yellow, and blue. They have petals that are heart or tongue shaped. As the petals fall to the ground, they stain the earth with these colors for a moment. Petals from the flowers soar through the sky in the summer breeze. The flowers' colors flash in the air. On this July day, men, women, and children walk through the gardens. As the people move through the gardens, their movements resemble butterflies. They zigzag in all directions to get a better view of the flowers.

  • Jesus Resurrection Essay

    1338 Words  | 3 Pages

    If these men were not telling the truth, would they have suffered in the way they did? “Their letters do not suggest delusion or deceit, but clear thinking and burning integrity (Barnett 116)”. They lived the way they did based on a verifiable historical event, the resurrection of Jesus. The two traditions of when Jesus rose from the dead combine powerfully to reinforce the reality of the resurrection. They came from separate sources. From the women we learn that Jesus rose on the first day of the week. From the other disciples we learn that Jesus rose on the third day. If the resurrection of Jesus was nothing but a hoax or urban legend, there would not be an identifiable starting point. This is not the case for the resurrection. We know the location he was buried and the time span in which it happened. There are several objections, other hypotheses about the resurrection. Some believe that another man was crucified, but Jesus was crucified in public. Officials wanted him to die specifically, so it would have been noticed if the wrong man was on that cross. Others say that Jesus only fainted, he did not actually die. Romans were very cruel in their punishment and execution of

  • The 3 Levels of Discipleship Taught by Jesus Christ

    1546 Words  | 4 Pages

    When Jesus called His disciples, His invitation was simple. He invited them to follow Him. The same is true today. In Matthew 28, Jesus gave His last charge to His disciples, and the charge was simple. He called his followers to go and make disciples. Much effort has been placed by Christians to fulfill this charge, commonly referred to as the Great Commission. Jesus chose to fulfill the implementation of the New Covenant through 12 men who He called, appointed, and commissioned, and he only had a few short years to prepare them for the task (Willson, 1990). His methods were unconventional and were revolutionary for that time. His disciples were to be trained extensively by Jesus, living with Him for three years prior to His ascension. He taught about servant leadership and its meaning for both the leader and follower Matt. 20:25-28). From the beginning, Jesus put in place a careful plan, and an examination of His actions in the Gospels showed that Jesus left behind the pattern to be replicated. His methods, which included the incorporation of three different levels of discipleship, included His interaction with Peter, His closest three (Peter, James, and John), and finally the group of 12. This paper identified and analyzed the three levels of discipleship Jesus modeled, these discipleship methods were then measured against modern leadership theories, and Jesus’s level of involvement and interaction with his disciples were critiqued in light of these modern theories in an effort to determine the effectiveness of this approach.

  • The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard

    2328 Words  | 5 Pages

    Jesus was a phenomenal communicator. In fact, Jesus was the greatest communicator to ever live. He used strategies and techniques that were previously unheard of to get his point across in any situation, regardless of the circumstances. What is interesting is that his most common form of speaking was in parables. He would use these analogies to provide a way of application for the gospel in people lives. The parable about the workers in the vineyard is one of many, but is one of the few that were only told in the book of Matthew. Although there a many assumptions as to the reasoning for this, nobody can be sure of the reason why this parable is nowhere to be found in the other gospels. It is especially confusing because in this parable Jesus talks about end times and entrance into heaven; which would have been, and still is, an important subject to any believer.

  • The Greatest Commandment

    ...merciful, for they will be shown mercy" and "Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God" (Holy Bible, Matthew 5:3-11). These scriptures say a lot to us reinstating what Matthew has written in how we should live our lives and follow the laws stated by Jesus in The Greatest Commandment so that we can obtain our peace of heart and give our love, ourselves selflessly to God. For when Jesus answered this question, the religious leaders and the Pharisees knew that he had answered well. After this question was answered Jesus also asked and answered a question about his son ship to God and from then on his answers showed his wisdom and those that questioned him never dared to ask Jesus any more questions. They knew that he was the son of the Lord. All knew and understood that these two Greatest Commandments were to be the law and the prophecies to live by.
