    Jesus was crucified on the cross and resurrected on the third day so that we may be forgiven and be a new person in Christ. When we have accepted Christ and decided to follow Him with all our hearts, minds, and souls then we must tell others of the glorious news of the Lord Jesus and how much He loves them. We cannot have close redemption and just keep it where we are comfortable and to ourselves. Instead we need to use cosmic redemption and share the word with the world so that everyone around us may to be with the Lord and us in Heaven one day. It is very important, even if you only have a chance to help one person maybe they will go and tell others and it will just cause a domino

Brent Staples wrote two different versions of the essay, but the each essay’s subject position is pretty different to the reader. Also, each subject position describes the same situation quite differently by illustrating each way of looking based on dissimilar perspectives. In his Published version, he describes himself “I was twenty-two years old, a graduate student newly arrived at the University of Chicago”(Staples 240). Also, the published version says, “To her, the youngish black man—a broad six feet two inches with a beard and billowing hair, both hands shoved into the pockets of a bulky military jacket—seemed menacingly close”(Staples 240). However, in another version, which is the draft version of the essay before publication, he draws himself “I was wearing my navy pea jacket, the collar turned up, my hands snug in the pockets”(Staples “Another Version”).

Without the title, and the author of the writer, those two personal essays seems entirely different to the reader, and each subject positions of these essays makes same situation diversely, which means each perspective and ways of looking make two different essays

  • The Calvary Road Summary

    683 Words  | 2 Pages

    Chapter 1 of Steps to Christ helped me to understand that God reveals His love to us by using Jesus as a way to connect to us. Christ was the medium through which He could pour out His infinite love upon a fallen world (White 4). Before this reading, I never really focused on the fact that Jesus basically acted as "God's interpreter" for mankind. Jesus was able to show God's loving character to us by His own behavior and actions on Earth. It amazes me to think that Jesus came down from a place full of glory and riches to a wicked place full of chaos to die for a world that didn't even love Him. He knew that he would be suffering from hatred, death, humiliation, and shame but He still volunteered to die for us anyways (White 4). This reading

  • Book Review Of Kay Arthur's When The Hurt Runs Deep

    1123 Words  | 3 Pages

    She moves through all eighteen chapters by dissecting the meaning of all twelve truths labeled as “Healing Truth”. The first truth tells the reader that if God allows pain it is because there is a purpose for it. A purpose that will work out for good. The chapters are arranged in a way that the reader understands why God works the way that he does even if it does not make sense. She also chose to include how some people burden themselves with pain they themselves can bring to a halt. After all the soul searching she encourages the book ends on the twelfth Healing Truth. The twelfth of the truths explains to the reader how the only way to heal is if the “healing begins at the cross” for it is “the greatest expression of God’s love”. The writing is set up so simple and easy to understand. It is very difficult to get lost reading her book.
