Community Priorities Of Jesus

In this paper, the writer will explain the following questions about the American's belief about Jesus. The first question is Why do you think Americans' dedication to Jesus is, in most cases, "a mile wide and an inch deep?" What is the root of the problem? How do walking with Christ and engaging in the community help people's faith become "a mile deep?"

No one can see the kingdom of God. Really? Is the kingdom of God somewhere out there where no one can see it? is it mystical? this is not what Jesus is saying.

“Who do people say that I am?” (Mark 8:27) is one of the most fundamental questions that Jesus asked his disciples. It is a question, from my personal viewpoint, that has a simple answer. Jesus is Lord! Needless to say, there is more to the identity of Jesus, but it is my belief that Jesus is the Messiah, the second person of the Holy Trinity. He is the promised Savior foretold in the Old Testament by the prophets. There is an endless list that gives Jesus titles such as Ruler and King, Master and Teacher, Savior and Christ, but in Acts 2:36 Luke writes, “God has made him both Lord and Messiah, this Jesus whom you crucified.” Jesus is the one who went to the Cross to bring humankind forgiveness, redemption, and salvation.

When you open your bible it doesn’t take long to discover that Jesus broke all the rules when it came to women. He extended respect and dignity which was something that had not been seen up to this point in the culture. Jesus honored women and because Jesus was God in the flesh, the respect He had for women was expressed through Him from

The risk of obesity was higher if one had direct contact with an obese person. There are a few reasons to why this could be possible. One of the possible reasons that Christakis believes this occurs is through a social norm. You start to hang out with someone bigger than you and you both start doing the same thing. You look at them and you start to accept the fact that its okay to be bigger so your ideal image changes from what you originally thought was normal.

This circumstance brought an enormous amount of shame to her family. In addition to her own family shame, Joseph brought shame upon his own name by marrying her. Mary’s family might have had honor previous to this event because they were descendants of King David, but for this reason, the majority of that honor was lost when it became known she was pregnant. Because of these events, Jesus grew up having a shameful name. Consequently, people recognized him as “the kid who was conceived outside of marriage” and was looked down upon because of it. Despite these things, Jesus was able to find popularity with the common

Is it possible to live a life as Jesus did in his time in our society today? In the book of ‘Jesus Today: Living Life as Jesus would’ by Marc Estes, the main character, Dave Finley, and his fictional story shows us how we could live our lives as Jesus did. Before coming to Christ, Dave was living a life full of emptiness, depression, loneliness, worries and discontent. It was not until he became a follower of Christ that he started to substitute the anxieties, emptiness, and brokenness of his heart with the love of God, and live a life more as Jesus would do it. Through the book, Dave passed through different circumstances that help him to become more like Jesus. As I read the book, I felt inspired not only by Dave’s story but also by the practical truths in each chapter. At the same time, I identified myself in some areas with the main character in his story.

Many people throughout history have achieved to make a great impact within their community and all over the world. My favorite would have to be Jesus. Never has there been a man who has had such an impact on the world we live in today is Jesus. Born in the Roman Province of Judea and raised in the town of Nazareth in the Roman Province of Galilee, just north of Judea, Jesus spent most of his time doing ministry in Galilee where he was very successful and also went to Jerusalem to conduct ministry but was rejected and crucified while there. As proclaiming to be the Son of God and the prophesied Messiah to lead and save the world. This proved to be very controversial as many Jews thought that he was committing blasphemy and others accepting and

Who is Jesus Christ? Jesus Christ is the main child of god regardless of originating from a lady. He is the light that came to earth to clear up our way and our spirit. He is a man that strolled to earth the distance from Israel.

“Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Look, the young woman is with child and shall bear a son, and shall name him Immanuel.” Isaiah 7:14 This was Isaiah’s response to King Ahaz, who refused to ask the Lord for a sign, but this was also a prophecy of how the Savior would come. God gave King Ahaz as well as the world a sign of hope which a virgin will conceive. “God with us,” is the meaning of Immanuel which the son shall be named. This gives hope that God will always be with us even through His son. This prophecy of Jesus’ being born of a virgin was fulfilled in the New Testament in the book of Matthew 1:20-23 which states, “But just when he had resolved to do this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be

Even if there is a theo-political basis for claiming Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary, this does not mean that it is necessarily wrong. As mentioned above, it’s even attested to in the Nicene Creed. But what if there were a Christological reason for calling the virgin birth into question?

The three wise men, were a group of travelers who visited Jesus the night he was born. The three men gave Jesus three gifts, gold, frankincense and myrrh. The three men were named Melchior, Caspar, and Balthazar. To some churches Melchior is known as the king of Persia, Casper being the king of India and Balthazar, the king of Arabia. The three gifts are ordinary offered to a king at birth, Myrrh being used as oil for anointing, Frankincense used as perfume, and gold as a valuable. The three gifts can also be seen as three symbols, Virtue, Prayer, and suffering. January 6 is known as three kings day or Epiphany. This day is a feast day to all who celebrate this tradition. It is also a tradition to remove your Christmas decorations on the twelfth

Many religions have value frameworks regarding personal behavior meant to guide adherents in determining between right and wrong. People in various religious traditions, such as Christianity, may derive ideas of right and wrong by the rules and laws set forth by the Ten Commandments. Each religious group has their own set of standard ways about how things should be done so yes two religious groups could be just as moral as the other. Although, I am a Christian myself and I strongly believe that the Lord is my savior. In Luke 6:37 “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven” therefore, I would never judge someone or even think less of them because they choose to

The ministry of Jesus began when Jesus was 30 years old, after his baptism in the river Jordan. Within three and a half years of his ministry Jesus did more miracles than any man in the world could have accomplished. He preached about the ways of changing lives and often gave parables to educate people. Even though he was rejected Jesus continued to spread the gospel in different cities around Israel, including Capernaum and Bethsaida.
