Who is Jesus? In Matthew 16:13-20 Jesus asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of

The kingdom of heaven develops into a serious, if not the prominent, theme of the Sermon on the Mount, and dare I say is probably the most protruding theological motif arising from it. Yet, more specifically within the Beatitudes, we get a glimpse of a present, but not fulfilled kingdom of heaven. First, in Matthew 4:17 Jesus proclaims, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (italics

Jesus had no false humility wanting people to think Him better than He was, no concern that the others would rank Him lower than them because of what he was doing.

While many of the instances that Jesus mentions children, or draws comparisons between them and his disciples many not be literal, there is enough evidence to support the idea that the Father admires the nature of children. When asked by his disciples how they should pray, what they should eat, and whether or not they should give to charity, Jesus responds by telling them not to lie, and not to do what they hate, because all things are disclosed before heaven. By adhering to practices solely for the sake reaching the Father’s Kingdom, they damn their souls because their actions are dishonest, and not what is truly in their hearts (Meyer, 1990). Before this, Jesus proclaims that men of old age should not hesitate to ask little children about life. Following this, Jesus tells Mary that his disciples are like little children returning a field that is not theirs when asked. In essence, children are honest with themselves, because they disregard, or are ignorant of, the concept of eternal consequence and punishment. A child may be dishonest with an adult for fear of carnal punishment, but a child’s actions and internal intentions are generally honest.

That Jesus was knowingly sacrificed so we could have that eternal relationship with God. It is very heartbreaking to see that so many are lost but also inspiring that as Christians we can be that vessel to lead them to

This story is repeated in each of the synoptic Gospels - Matthew, Mark, and Luke - and for good reason. It’s important that Christians, and all people, see not only the value of each child, but also the value of the mind of a child - of thinking as a child does. Now, obviously, Jesus didn’t mean that we should act like children in all things. He didn’t mean, one can assume, that we should throw temper tantrums over small matters or bother our neighbors for the sake of bothering; rather, that we should strive to attain the heart of a child: the fearlessness, the wonder, and the love.

This passage starts by Jesus asking the disciples who the Messiah is. Some of the disciples say it is John the Baptist or Elijah or Jeremiah or one of the prophets. Jesus then asked the disciples who they think he is. Peter replied to Jesus saying that he was the Messiah and the Son of the living God.

Christianity is the religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Most followers of Christianity, called Christians, are members of one of three major groups--Roman Catholic, Protestant, or Eastern Orthodox.

Spirituality plays a very sub sequential role in my personal life. First of all, spirituality helps me govern what is right and what is wrong in my life. Many of the decisions that I make everyday, I believe are a direct result of my spirituality. For as long as I can remember I have been raised to believe that I should live my life the way God would want me to live it. Therefore, whenever I have a decision to make, I have to consider, what is right? And what is wrong? Second of all, it also helps me to feel more secure about what will happen to my spirit once my life here on earth is over. I believe that there is a better place for our spirits once we leave this earth.
