The Suffering, Death and Resurrection of Jesus

There were many events that led up to the crucifixion of Jesus, many

Christians today believe that Jesus died for us, so that the world

would be free of sin.

The first event that led up to the crucifixion of Jesus was the entry

into Jerusalem, Jesus fulfilled zachariah's prophecy by riding into

Jerusalem on a donkey. Jesus entered peacefully and the people

welcomed him as a messiah shouting, 'hosanna in the highest', but this

angered the Jewish leaders as Jesus rode into Jerusalem like a king.

This showed that he clamed to be the messiah, and therefore was asking

for trouble.

The next event that happened was the cleansing of the temple, where

Jesus addressed the scriptures and clamed that the temple was 'a house

of prayer for the people of all nations' this angered the chief

priests. This adds inevitability to Jesus' death, as it shows that

Jesus may have brought it on himself.

Another event happened as Jesus went to the temple and his authority

was questioned, Jesus knew that if he said that his authority has come

from God, he would get arrested for blasphemy, so Jesus did nothing.

Another event that had happened was the plot against Jesus, the chief

priests and the teachers of the law were looking to condemn Jesus to

death, it is clear that Jesus has done something to anger the Jewish

law abiders, possibly blasphemy as he was claming to be 'son of man'.

The plot began to proceed as Judas one of Jesus' twelve disciples

planned to betray him; Judas planned to betray Jesus after the

Passover meal. The Passover is the most important festival for

Judaism, and on this event the people sacrifice an animal to god, but

in this case the sacrifice is Jesus. Jesus knew that the scriptures

have being foretold and accepted this.

Jesus again refers to the scriptures as he predicts peters denial;

again this shows that Jesus has accepted that he is going to die.

The most crucial event was when Jesus prays in Gethsemane, this is

    Judas had told some of his close relatives and some of his Sadducean friends that, while he believed that Jesus had good intentions and an idealist, but he did not think that he would make a good “King”. The Priests gave Judas a group of armed guards to take with him to the Garden of Gethsemane. The Garden of Gethsemane is where Jesus and the Apostles went to pray after the Last Supper. The plan for Judas was to identify Jesus. The way that they agreed to identify Jesus was to have Judas go to Jesus and give him a kiss. After the kiss, Judas was to call Jesus “Master”.

    In Theophile Gautier's The Beautiful Vampire, he is very subtle in presenting the sins committed. Although all of the characters in this story commit various sins, the sins of Romuald are the sins primarily focused on. This sinning of Romauld is very unique in that he is a ordained priest who should be one of the last people to commit these sins. It is this reason that makes the story what it is and draws the readers in initially.

  • Jesus: The Importance Of The Resurrection Of Jesus

    407 Words  | 1 Pages

    The resurrection of Jesus is a topic in Christian Apologetic that confirms the faith of a believer. Groothuis submits, “Of all the world’s religions Christianity alone purports to be based on the resurrection of its divine founder. No other religion or worldview makes such an audacious and consequential claim. Throughout the Gospels, Jesus himself predicts his own betrayal, death and resurrection.”1 The Bible reveals the importance of the resurrection in Corinthians 15:14-17, “And if Christ wasn’t raised to life, our message is worthless, and so is your faith. If the dead won’t be raised to life, we have told lies about God by saying that he raised Christ to life, when he really did not. So if the dead won’t be raised to life, Christ wasn’t raised to life. Unless Christ was raised to life, your faith is useless, and you are still living in your sins.”

  • 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

  • God and Devil

    1458 Words  | 3 Pages

    Jesus was created by God and deemed to be his son. He preached Jewish reform to all who would listen. In addition, he was known to heal the sick and cast away evil demons. Jesus was always able to control, but not create. He didn’t create any defense for himself when he was about to be killed, but he did make a martyr of himself. The death of Jesus creates a completely separate religion from Judaism. This split God’s people into two different sections. Later, one began persecuting the other, and in some places, hasn’t stopped to this day. This is not the outcome that God would’ve wanted.

    J. H. Bernard highlights the idea ὁ διάβολος ἤδη βεβληκότος, “the devil having already put into the heart of Judas, to betray him. The synoptic gospels clearly reveals clearly the bargain made by with the religious leaders before that night (Mk. 14:10, Mt. 26:14, Lk 22:3). Hence, what John does simply points to the treachery of Judas, instigated by the devil; this is repeated by John in verse 27, when Judas decides on the final and fatal step. 11

  • The Resurrection Of Jesus Christ

    The Resurrection of Jesus Christ. No other event in history has been the object of as much scrutiny and criticism as the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The resurrection of Christ is the basis upon which all Christianity stands. If the resurrection never happened, then there would be no Christianity, as the Apostle Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15:14, "And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith." This is why opponents of the Christian faith have tried to attempt to discredit the Biblical account of the resurrection. Of the many theories of the resurrection, the Biblical account is the only historically reliable and possible explanation of the resurrection.
