Jesus Christ, the son of Man, was sent to earth as the Savior. In every nature, he is God. Yet, he made himself a humble, modest servant, “he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!” (NIV Bible, Philippians 2:7-8). Jesus is exalted to the highest place, he is the “Lord, to the glory of God the Father”; he lived like a human, to experience the life of man, while demonstrating an example of behavior which mankind should follow. One of these characteristics is humility. In Philippians 2, Paul advised the people to follow Jesus, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather,
The Second Epistle to Timothy is one of the books of the Christian Bible bagianPerjanjian largely contains New advice-personal advice to Timothy as a colleague and a young maid.[1][2] the core of his advice is that Timothy stoic.

...is composed of two natures, one external, one internal, one divine the other human, one invisible and one visible. “For notwithstanding this supreme and divine state, he experienced swaddling clothes, the crèche, childhood and the powerlessness of childhood, flight and persecution” (pg 144). God experienced the lowliness of human nature. Even though Jesus experienced all these states he was truly God-man. However, the glory of the Father wasn’t established in him yet. It was deferred by the plan of God for his son. This division only existed in Jesus. It was for the sole purpose of representing and erasing the separation that occurred between God and his creatures through sin. Jesus was separated from glory due to love. So its our duty to love Jesus in his love. It was due to love he gave his divinity to humanity. The mystery is love and only can be love.
Worldview is how you view certain views from a certain perspective, such as a Christian worldview would be how you view certain views from a Christian perspective. Everything in life is affected by worldview and everyone has one. As Christians, our worldview is using the Bible for our starting on our views. An example of a worldview is, according to the article “What is a Christian Worldview?”, “Christianity as taught in the Bible is itself a worldview.” 77 words.
The author who wrote the epistle of 1 Thessalonians is the apostle Paul. He was writing this letter in approximately A.D. 51 during his second missionary journey. Paul was originally Saul, a Christian persecutor who killed followers of Christ. When Paul was heading to Damascus, Jesus appeared onto him and blinded him. Eventually the LORD sent Ananias to relinquish Paul from his blindness and ever since then Paul was to preach God’s Word at work to every nation and to teach about salvation through Christ at hand. Paul is writing this book to the newly converted Christians in Thessalonica. He is trying to restore relations with the Thessalonian Christians after persecution separated him and his colleagues from the church/congregation. The Thessalonian converts from paganism were left with little support amidst the persecution against them. Paul is writing this letter to encourage the new converts in there trials. He is addressing not to neglect their daily work and have assurance or hope in the salvation that is in Christ. His primary goal in writing 1 Thessalonians to this people was to encourage and motivate the spiritual foundation and strength that was already taking place in Thessalonica. The overall message of the letter was to have assurance in the concerning future because believers in Christ will rise up in His second coming.
This discussion post will give a homiletical idea and introduction to the scripture Philippians 4:1-2. The idea taken from this scripture is, Turn Your Conflicts into Kind-heartedness.
"And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth."(New Revised Standard Version, John 1:14) As the only son of God in the Christian theology, Jesus Christ was tasked with a multitude of trials, and horrors the common man would have rebuked and refused to undertake. However, as a demi-god born of the divine Christian deity and the mortal, virgin Mary, Jesus was not the average mortal man.
Literary Context In trying to understand Philippians 2:5-11 it is equally important to understand what is going on both before this passage occurs and what happens after. Paul is writing a letter to the church in Philippi and unlike some of his other letters he is filled with joy when writing to them. Immediately his letter begins with praise and thanksgiving directed towards the Philippians due to their kindness and provisions that they had consistently provided for Paul while he was in Prison. Paul then goes on to write about the fact that his imprisonment has advanced the Gospel of Christ.
A perfect example is in Matthew 3:13-15: “Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. And John tried to prevent Him, saying, "I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?" But Jesus answered and said to him, "Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he allowed Him.” When Jesus demonstrated his baptism by a man he too showed his humility. Jesus is the son of God and didn’t have to put himself lowly, but he did to demonstrate his oneness with humanity. Both Henry and Jesus demonstrated their compassion and humility by joining together with those who were lesser than themselves. It connected both of them with their people and helped bind the love of their followers together. Of course, we are not on the same level as Jesus, but by Him dwelling amongst us, He experienced all the pain and suffering we as people endure. He put Himself in similar scenarios we as humans go through on a daily
The Archaic Greeks and Hebrews, two nations of people with very distinct worldviews, were driven to make sense of their vast ever-changing world while trying to survive it. The earlier ancient Hebrews lived nomadically, facing turmoil and enslavement. The Archaic Greeks, coming out of an isolated dark age, began to civilize and grow. Despite having over a millennia difference between their emergences, the need for social and political structure stood paramount. The key differences between the cultures are the way they interpreted and used their separate religions, governed themselves, and created a standard by which to live by.

THEME: COME TO ME - Matthew 11:25-30 28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

(1.36). This is echoed in the line of the poem that says, “For he calls himself a Lamb” (14). The next line of the poem states that “He is meek & he is mild” (15). Jesus is meek as well as mild. This is stated in the Gospel of Matthew.
Jesus Christ was both fully human and fully God at the same time, He lowered himself through kenosis to be like us. Through the Holy Spirit we are risen up, we are
What are parables of Jesus Christ? The word parable in general may mean the placing of two or more artifacts together to make a comparison or explain an ideology. This same concept could be related to the parables of Jesus Christ the son of God. Some people may choose to define these in various meanings depending on their own understanding. However, in my opinion, a parable is basically an analogy consisting of human circumstances that is accompanied with a spiritual or biblical lesson. Altogether, there are thirty-two parables; which could be found in the books of Mathew, Mark and Luke. Out of all these parables, eighteen of them are found in Luke and ten in Mathew. The eighteen parables found in Luke include, the Lost Coin, the Lost Son, the Unrighteous Steward, the Rich Man and Lazarus, the Unprofitable Servants, the Unrighteous Judge, the Pharisee and Publican, the Pounds, the Two Debtors, the Good Samaritan, the Friend at Midnight, the Rich Fool, the Watchful Servants, the Barren Fig Tree, the Chief Seats, the Great Supper, the Rash Builder, and the Rash King. The ten in Mathew include, the Laborers in the Vineyard, the Two Sons, the Marriage of the King's Son, the Ten Virgins, the Talents, the Tares, the Hidden Treasure, the Pearl of Great Price, the Draw Net, and the Unmerciful Servant. Again, the parables of Jesus Christ could be compared to a class of students with a teacher in the front. Basically Jesus Christ was the teacher and the whole world would be considered as the students. Out of all the parables of Jesus Christ, the main ones I will be talking about will be the parable of the good samaritan, and the parable of the sower.
