Isiah 50: 4-6 Research Paper

All Christians believe that Jesus is their savior, but there are many different ways his death can be interpreted. One of the ways we can look at Jesus’s death his through historical accounts. Almost all historians believe that there was a man named Jesus who had a large following, and was put to death by the Romans. But why, from a historical point of view, would Jesus be crucified? One major reason is that the Romans seen Jesus as a political threat. The Romans view order as the most important thing in their empire, and around that time there was a zealot uprising. Then, they see Jesus preaching about the coming of his “Kingdom” and so they thought that he was leading a revolution. Therefore, Jesus was executed at the hands of the Romans for being a Lestes, meaning bandit or outlaw. However, Jesus

All four Gospels describe Jesus in his final week in Jerusalem. During which Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, confronted moneychangers and merchants in the temple, and debated with the high priests who questioned Jesus’ authority. He told his disciples about the coming days and that Jerusalem’s temple would be destroyed. Meanwhile, the chief priests and elders met with high priest Caiaphas, and set plans in motion to arrest Jesus. One of Jesus’ disciples’ betrayed him to the Pharisees for 30 pieces of silver. Jesus took his disciples to pray with him, but they kept falling asleep. Soldiers and officials appeared, and Judas (who betrayed Jesus) was with them. He gave Jesus a kiss on the cheek to help the Pharisee’s know who he was and the soldiers arrested Jesus. One disciple tried to resist the arrest, drew his sword and cutting off an ear of a soldier. Jesus was then interrogated by the high priest, hit and spat upon for not answering. Jesus was mocked, condemned, and beat up in a high court because he stated he was the son of God. Pilate washed his hands of the responsibility of what happened to Jesus, but ordered him to be executed. Jesus hung on a cross for three days, died, was buried in a tomb, and rose again on the third day. With his dying on the cross he took the sin of the world.

by being crucified upside down (that position being requested by him supposedly because of a feeling of unworthiness to be crucified just as his Lord was). It is noteworthy that Christ did predict a martyr 's death for Peter (Jn. 21:18,19). It is thought that Paul was beheaded right outside Rome in 68 A.D. (II Tim. 4: 6-8,16-18). John supposedly lived and labored in Ephesus during his later years, being the only apostle allowed to die a natural death. The lives, ministries, and deaths of the rest of the apostles are far more unknown. These realities do not consider the enormous social differences are often existing in non-Jewish congregations. A person who sold goods only the wealthy bought and a Roman jailer in the same church (Acts 16:14-40)? A "dirt poor" person and the owner of an expensive home in the same church (James 2:1-4)? A slave and his or her owner in the same church--meeting in the owner 's home (Philemon)? A Jewish convert who refused to eat anything sacrificed to an idol and a pagan convert who ate anything in the same church (Galatians 2:11-14)? All those situations existed in the first century! The concepts that this course show me was when the church assembled in the first century, some spoke in tongues, some interpreted those tongues, some prophesied, some introduced a new song, some received a revelation and some performed miracles. To them, those experiences were typical events. That is my under from my studies that It is doubtful first century

As you can probably guess, this made a lot of people dislike Jews. The Jews can’t possibly be responsible for Jesus’s crucifixion, because their method of murder wasn’t crucifixion, but instead stoning. It would be more reasonable to blame Romans for His death because crucifixion was a method of killing for them. Crucifixion is a method of a slow, painful death where you are hung on a cross using nails and left there to die. This rumor, even though it isn’t reasonable, is the cause of the majority of Christian anti-semitism. The New Testament calls Jews the enemies of the rest of

The Pharisees came together and ended up sending a lawyer to question Jesus to test him. People who questioned his authority or tested him ended up being amazed or astounded by his response and teachings. According to Jesus, God will come and judge us all the good and the evil at an unexpected hour. Judas, one of his twelve disciplines betrayed Jesus with a kiss and for thirty pieces of silver. Peter, another of his twelve disciplines betrays Jesus by denying him three times. Judas repented and returned the thirty silver pieces and committed suicide. The governor as accustomed asked the crowd to pick a prisoner to be released, the options were Jesus, the son of God, and Jesus Barraban, the prisoner. The priests and the elders however persuaded the crowds to choose for the other prisoner instead of Jesus and condemn Jesus to death. After they crucified Jesus, the chief priests, scribes, elders, and the two crucified men whom were next to him challenged him to come down from the cross and save himself if he was the “Son of the Man” but Jesus ignored them. After his death God cried out loud for God, and after his second cry the temple was split in two and so were the rocks. The people who were watching Jesus now believed that he was “truly the son of

So there is no doubt that the Jewish leaders were the ones who killed Jesus of Nazareth. Some scholars give the argument that Christ was crucified because He wanted to rescue the Jews from the rule of the Roman authorities. The Jews became confused when the Son of God started to perform incredible miracles and in this process even the dead were raised by Him. Jesus was a very different and His powers made the Jews afraid and they started to consider His as a threat. Thus Jesus was ultimately crucified. We don’t have the issue in hand if the Jews were right or the Christians were on the right side. It is not a case of Judaism versus Christianity. There are people who believe that God has His Messiah and this Messiah will be sent to earth and here he will redeem the mankind. Both the Jews and Christians were waiting for God’s Messiah and in Bible it has been clearly revealed that Jesus is God’s Messiah. 1. “The story of Jesus is either the greatest event, or it is the cruelest hoax in history. If it is a hoax, then the whole of the Christian message crumbles together with the hopes of those multitudes of lives built on His name (1 Corinthians 15:14-19). But if the story is true, then this world has been hit with extraordinary news of earth-shaking consequences. Have you taken the trouble to decide which it is? In a matter this weighty, it is in your interest to explore the truth or falsity

People in Rome wanted to crucify Jesus all because of what he believed. When the moment came that the city of Rome had to make the decision of crucifying Jesus or letting Barabbas go, they decided to let him go because they wanted Jesus dead. Even though Barabbas was in prison for killing someone, they still thought Jesus was worse because of the made up stories the high priests and officials were saying about him. Pilate tried to defend Jesus, for he had done nothing wrong. But Pilate fell under peer pressure from the Romans and let Jesus

The Romans thought that Jesus was a blasphemer who was using God’s name to spread his own false messages (Bredin 190) and ended up having to crucify him. This crucifixion was all part of God’s plan, and through this action, Jesus ended up

The teachings of Jesus focused primarily on the "the kingdom of God" and were usually relayed through parables drawing on familiar images from agricultural life. He rebuked the hypocrisy of some Jewish leaders and taught the importance of love and kindness, even to one's enemies. Jesus' popularity grew quickly, but so did opposition from local leaders. Roman rulers were uncomfortable with the common perception that he was the Messiah who would liberate the Jews from Roman rule, while Jewish leaders were disquieted by Jesus' shocking interpretations of Jewish law, his power with the people, and the rumor that he had been alluding to his own divinity. In the Gospels, Jesus repeatedly suggests to his disciples his end is near, but they do not fully understand or accept the idea. The clearest expression of this is at the "Last Supper," which took place on the night before his death. All four Gospels record that Jesus shared bread and wine with his disciples, asking them to "do this in remembrance of me." Christians celebrate this event in the sacrament of the Eucharist, or Communion. On this evening Jesus also predicts that one of them will betray him, which is met with astonishment and denial. But that very night, Jesus' fate was sealed when Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples and possibly the group's treasurer, led Roman soldiers to Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. As they arrested Jesus, the ever-colorful Peter defended his master with a sword, slicing off

Jesus of Nazareth is believed by Christians to be one of the Holy Trinity, defined as being comprised of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. As such, Jesus as the Son, is regarded as

The film also depicted that crucifixion was typically a form of death that was harsh, violent, and humiliating, which is accurate in comparison to crucifixions in history. In the film, Jesus was spit on, and the Romans mocked him, saying that if were really the king, that he would save himself. This picture of the Jesus’ crucifixion, and the violence that forced upon him, that was displayed in the film, The Passion of the Christ was an accurate description of what actually happened during crucifixions during the ancient times (Religions).

Jesus had to carry his own cross, that probably weighed two times his size, all the way up to wear the crucifixion was going to take place. Already beaten and bloody, they lay him down onto the cross shaped piece of wood and begin by nailing his hands and feet into it and standing the cross up into the air. What a brutal sight it must have been for God to see his only son tortured like this, but the good news is that he knew what his plan was for Jesus and for his people and he knew what was going to happen after all this was over. Jesus died hanging from that cross, washing all of our sin away and paying the ultimate sacrifice. After he died he was wrapped in a white cloth and placed into a tomb with a boulder sealing the door to the outside world. Three days after being placed in there, the people went to check up on the tomb to find that the boulder was pushed aside and the white cloth was folded neatly where Jesus was laying. The son of God, the Messiah, rose again from the dead to fulfill his mission so that we may have everlasting life in God’s kingdom. God’s plan for our life and through Jesus he teaches us that if we follow in God’s word and make him our most prized possession and ask for him to be in our hearts that we may to “escape the penalty that God will execute upon all who have broken His

Mark presents Jesus as a compassionate savior who through his acts of service and acts of suffering summons unbelievers to become disciples and so that believers would understand what it means to be committed followers of Jesus. In Mark's account of the Passion of Jesus Christ, Jesus dies alone.Jesus only speaks once from the cross stating "My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?" and dies. Mark acknowledges that after Jesus' crucifixtion that people believed in Jesus being the true Messiah, "Truly this man was the Son of God!" (15:39).
