Crucifixion And Resurrection Research Paper

Once upon a time, in a far off land lived a man named Jesus. Jesus was the Son of God. His mother was named Mary, and his earthly father was Joseph. Joseph was of the line of King David, whose line of heritage was traced back all the way to Adam and Eve. Jesus had the power to heal the sick and paralyzed, give sight to the blind, speech to the mute, and life to the dead. This may very well sound like a fairy tale, but all of this was as true and real as you and me. Jesus was the living proof of God, and was literally God on earth. Jesus was perfect in every way, and was without sin; yet the Pharisees did not like what Jesus was preaching and accused him of blasphemy. This of course was not true; because God is inerrant, and Jesus was the living and, the human version of God, he speaks no lies, nor commits any crimes. Because of the charges against Him, and the Roman Empire convinced that He was causing trouble, He was sentenced to a crucifixion. The crucifixion of

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is not a miracle, special effects or a magic show. It's a message, a sign, it has a deeper meaning. When I think of the resurrection, the word hope comes to mind. If I had a penny for every time I thought I was going to give up I would have a lot of pennies. But in my doubts, I thought about Jesus rising from the​ grave and what he went through, how he had faith in his father, and hope in his heart that he would be able to get through the pain he was suffering from us, why can't I keep pushing through. Now I'm not saying I'm Jesus, I couldn't go​ through all that pain for a lot of these people and still have love for all of them afterwards, that's why he's one of a kind. The resurrection gives me hope in society,

Many people ridicule Christians for believing in a man who resurrected from the dead. They laugh at Christians and criticize them for basing their faith on an event that lack proof and evidence. However, the evidence that skeptics use to challenge the Christian faith, in actuality, support the claims that Jesus truly was the God that he claimed to be. The evidence that affirms Jesus’ claims to be true include his lifestyle and teachings, the prophecies that he fulfilled, historical facts, and the dramatic transformation of the lives of his disciples. Many may ask Christians how they can believe in a Savior without proof of his divinity; but, in reality, God has given us an abundance of signs. He is still providing us with compelling evidence

Were it not for the power that Jesus inherited from His Father, His great sacrifice would not have been possible. On the night Jesus was betrayed, He took three of the Twelve and went into the place called Gethsemane. It was there He suffered the pains of all men. He suffered as only God could suffer, bearing our griefs, carrying our sorrows, being wounded for our transgressions, voluntarily submitting Himself to the iniquity of us all, just as Isaiah prophesied. It was in Gethsemane where Jesus took on Himself the sins of the world, in Gethsemane where His pain was equivalent to the cumulative burden of all men, in Gethsemane where He descended below all things so that all could repent and come to Him. Jesus was ordered to carry the crossbeam

The Crucifixion was a different way for the Persians to torture people who they believed were doing something wrong. After being hung on a giant wooden cross the person would suffer brutal days of slow death. This form of torture was used by the Persians, passed on to the Babylonians, then to the the Romans. There were many different ways that these three different cultures tortured people with the form of crucifixion.

I was first introduced to Jesus Christ through several Korean missionaries from America, who came to my orphanage in Russia one day. A bright green church, which is my favorite color to this day, was implanted right behind my orphanage and the people of the church went around inviting and encouraging people to join them on Sunday mornings. We were told there would be donuts and other food. Of course that would lure any orphan right off the bat. I among other children, joined the church on Sunday mornings. Maybe it was simply the donuts, but I felt accepted right away. Although I was very fond of the things we were told and taught, they appeared to be only stories to me. The stories did not become an entity or reached my heart until after I got adopted into a Christian family three years later.

Jesus’ resurrection is one of the most important historic event in history. Even though many people have different theories that deny the resurrection, I believe that Jesus did rise from the dead, the reason for this is that it is shown through biblical scriptures, Jesus’ life on earth, eyewitnesses, and the growth of the Christian faith today. There are many biblical scriptures that give evidence that the resurrection did occur. Some information that is agreed upon by everyone, no matter the belief, is that Jesus died, he was put in the tomb, and the tomb was found empty. This is shown in the Bible when it says “Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had

The story of the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth has been one of the most analyzed narratives in human history. From ancient philosophers to contemporary thinkers, many have attempted to formally establish a chronological and logical account of the events that led to the death of the son of God. Two of Jesus’ disciples, John and Matthew, offer similar first-person delineations of the events surrounding this historical occurrence. Nevertheless, there are critical differences between both accounts, especially regarding the way that the populace interacted with Jesus.

It’s not enough that the tomb is empty. It’s not enough to proclaim, “Christ is risen!” It’s not enough to believe in the resurrection. At some point we must move from the event of the resurrection to experiencing the resurrection. Experiencing resurrected life begins with recognizing the risen Christ among us. That is the gift of Easter and it is also the difficulty and challenge described in today’s gospel.

In Mark 10:45 Jesus spoke how the Son of Man came to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many. Jesus words at the last supper meal showed His intention of the cross when He spoke, “This is my body given for you” and “this cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you” (Luke 22:19-20). Jesus saw his death as an outpouring of His blood to make redemption and forgiveness possible. Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane that He was willing to follow through with His death on the cross, if it was still God’s will for Him to do so (Mark 14:35). Jesus knew God’s redemption time was at hand when His enemies came to arrest Him in the garden. Jesus went with them willingly saying in Luke 22:53, “…this is your hour-when

Another word that can be used in place of redemption is solution for that is exactly what Christ’s ultimate sacrificial act upon the cross provided humanity: A solution. Jesus’ solution offers a means of knowing the Father through humility by acknowledging and admitting that we are lost and in need of guidance and sanctification. “Redemption culminates in the work of Christ; it is the only way to God. Yet Christ’s redemption calls [Christians and counselors] to action in the world around us” (McMinn, 1996, p. 249). As both Christians and counselors, we have the opportunity to exhibit Christ-likeness to our clients through our actions, verbal- and non-behaviors, compassion, kindness, and empathetic understanding; consequently, providing

The Resurrection validates who Jesus is. If Jesus is not Resurrected everything about Him is invalidated. Furthermore, it invalidates who we are as followers of Christ; the passage where this truth is emphasized more than any other is in Paul’s writing of First Corinthians 15:12-19:

“I will deliver [man] out of the hand of Hades, and will redeem them from death.”(Hosea 13:14) This just being one of the many Old Testament prophecies that became reality. Consequently, when Christ descended to earth, and lived, perished and resurrected, He accomplished His purpose, to deliver man from the clutches of death. Through His triumph, man regained the wonderful ability to dwell in paradise, the gift that Adam and Eve deprived themselves of so long ago. After the “Fall”, humanity was banished from Paradise and sentenced to death. Who could save them? Since man was created in the image of God, they couldn’t be saved by a mere man, therefore, God became their only Savior. Through His mercy, God devised a plan to rescue His creation.

As you are going home from work, two well-dressed gentlemen accost you, handing you some literature explaining what they believe. You glance over it and are drawn to this sentence: “Jesus was a man and as such could not also be God.” Seeing the puzzled look on your face, one of the men asks you what you think of this claim.

The crucifiers would drive a stake into the ground when whoever was being crucified arrived at the execution place. Sometimes they attached the victim to the cross only with ropes. In that case, the crossbeam, where they bound a victim’s arms, was fixed to the vertical beam. They then continued to tie their feet to the stake with a rope. If the victim was pinned down by nails, he was laid on the ground, with his shoulders on the crossbeam. They would hold out his arms and nail him to the crossbeam, which was raised. The victim's feet were nailed down against the previously nailed stake.
