An Expert Of The Law

In contrast Pope Benedict XVI’s book, Jesus of Nazareth, stated that the ‘Kingdom of God’ is “… an inner disposition characterised in daily behaviour by adopting the mind and outlook of Christ…” A teacher of the law once asked Jesus, “Which commandment is the most important?” He deemed loving God and your neighbour as the two most important. So here it is clear that Jesus is talking about love as a major theme in personal conduct a theme which is exemplified by biblical stories of Jesus’ own behaviour. Jesus demonstrated his love for others on many occasions and in many different ways. He spoke to people who were outcasts or disliked such as the woman at the well and Zacchaeus. He met people’s physical needs through some of his

The gospel describes Jesus as a great teacher who astounded the crowds who gathered to hear him. Though he engaged in debates with Pharisees and Sadducees, he took great interest in ordinary people. He often taught them in parables, stories that used vivid images from everyday life to illustrate spiritual truths (Invitation to World Religions, pg.416). The central theme in Jesus’ teachings was the Kingdom of God. For Jesus, the kingdom of God was not an ordinary kingdom, but that exists when human beings recognize God’s sovereignty over the world and respond in love and in

Leviticus is a law book which demonstrates the concerns of peoples' daily life. The book has got detailed rules that regulates the offering of the sacrifices, the tasks of priests, the sexual, the calendar of the liturgy, the dietary as well as, the economic practices the Israelites were practicing not forgetting the ritual and the moral holiness. The book of Leviticus manages to offer the children of the Israel, an instruction of how one can live to become part of Christ, people who are ever holy, "be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy" (19:2). In short, Leviticus offers the vision of being holy to God as it also issues a call to a living that is holy to those who are in a covenant with God. However the shape

Jesus then laid down many guidelines to his disciples and spoke wisdom of trials to come. Jesus said “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew, Sermon). This meaning that people who are humble and accept their sins toward God, may be rich in spirit, giving them a place in the kingdom of heaven. This idea was very popular due to many people in ancient society felt powerless, due to a lack of money. The second major point Jesus stated, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for Righteousness, for they shall be satisfied” (Matthew, Sermon). This Meaning that if one strives for a relationship with God they will find one. Giving these followers hope and believe that they have a chance to become part of something larger than themselves, which would be a strange concept for them in their time. The final and most important ideal given is, “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me”. This being said Jesus Blesses those of his followers who were being punished for believing in the kingdom of heaven and Jesus to be the son of God. This has major ties to the Roman Empire and their persecution of Christians (Many Europes). This can also be viewed as foreshadowing towards the futures of some of the disciples. When Jesus spoke to his disciples, these words became the

Jesus shows Christians that they should take pity on people in need. People are equal in the eyes of God and we shouldn’t discriminate against others, especially when it degrades them and us. We need to help people in need. These are people who live in the developing countries or are in poverty. People who don’t have enough food or water to live and don’t have enough money to produce them.

In this teaching, Jesus was saying that we treat one another with love and compassion as he have loved us as much as laying his life for our sake, in order for us to join him in the kingdom of God. He said that we should speak well even to those who curse and despitefully use us and abuse us because, our reward for such time is in heaven and it is God who will revenge about these things for us. He said that we should love our enemy also not only our friends because God loves us the same way and God does not discriminate from anyone, despite their falls.

First we need to determine the historical context of the writing. Jesus lived during a time when there was a lot of chaos in Israel. The people were unhappy with the Roman oppression. Israel had a history of being unfaithful to God so some thought by following the laws extremely close, they would be able to be restored. They required people to live by laws that were only meant for priest and even added their own.

Jesus is a brilliant example of what is means to be a safe haven for others. When we look to his relationship with his disciples, we see that he allowed them to be themselves, even if that meant they would not listed to his advice. The gospel of John shows us how much Jesus prioritized personal relationships.

As an expert witness, you testify about the facts and offer opinions. Even a seasoned expert can make mistakes; here are the top five mistakes that expert witnesses make.

Gustavo Gonzalez P. 1 Friendship Throughout the Gospels, we can see how Jesus defines “Friendship”. Jesus teaches and shows his disciples what it means to be a friend, and goes on to explain to them how the disciples are his friends and not students that Jesus is teaching to spread the word of God. In the Gospel of Luke it also shows an example of Jesus being friends to a tax collector. (In this time of history, tax collectors are hated because they must go around house by house and collect tax which would make people not like you.) While dining with the tax collector, Jesus begins to get ridiculed by someone who is offended by Jesus sitting next to the tax collectors who the man calls sinners.

In the Bible, the four Gospels push different ideologies, views, lessons and different stories that center around the central figure of Jesus. The Gospel of Luke main themes center on Universalism, social justice, compassion for outcasts, the role of woman and the Holy Spirit.(Hauer and Young) These parables are able to connect to the context of when Luke was able bring these stories together in 85 CE. The Gospel was most likely written in Greek speaking area located in the Roman empire.(Coogan et al.) This time of stability allowed for the proliferation of Christianity and Gospels such as Luke. The passages that will be discussed will mainly focus on compassion for outcast seen in Luke 16:19–31 and warning against greed in Luke 12:13-34. Luke 13:6-9 focuses on a fig tree talks of the opportunities people and if they use them properly. Finally, the last parable is 7:11-17, which focuses on holy spirit and the possibilities for miracles and the importance of life. These parables in Luke are able to give a social justice commentary that can make a person feel compassionate for the poor and the reckoning they would receive in the afterlife if they didn’t follow Jesus’s teachings. As, well the story is able to push across a message that will everlasting importance to people. This has led to the Gospels of Luke becoming one of the main 4 Gospels and one of the most highly regarded of the Gospels. (Hauer and Young)

Jesus is portrayed as a compassionate healer and teacher in Luke's gospel. Luke also portrays Jesus as a saviour in the image of a divine man. Like was a well educated jew that was struggling with the christians new faith. Luke is one of the synoptic gospels in the New Testament whose audience appears to be gentiles. Luke portrays Jesus as a person who reaches out to the poor and brings Justice to all. In Luke 10:38-42 Jesus visited Martha and Mary. Martha was disrespectful to Jesus as she put cleaning before Jesus, where as Mary sat down at Jesus’ foot and stayed with him. Jesus then says “Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things” Jesus is showing compassion and love even though Martha was showing disrespect towards Jesus. Overall,

This emphasises how Jesus had welcomed everybody in his own life and had treated everyone
