This passage is a warning, but also an encouragement. As Paul begins to talk about the righteous judgment of God he takes two different ways of approach. The first is of the Christian. He shows us to look forward to the day of when we meet our LORD, that we will be with Him always. He also encourages one to persevere in this continuance of faith in verse 7 pushing us to not waiver, and to no matter what come, live for the Lord and keep your eyes on Him. Then there's the warning, and this warning has two sides. The first is obvious, to those who do not follow the Lord they will spend eternity in Hell. In anguish and pain for eternity. So this warning is also a call to repentance for the unbelievers. The second warning is for us, we as a Christians
Scene 1: A girl takes some psychoactive drugs, and plans to take a break on the sofa. Scene 2: She hears the doorbell, and opens the door. She stands on the porch (extremely deep), and looks to the left then looks to the right—nothing! Scene 3: She comes back, and sits on the sofa. Scene 4: doorbell again.
In chapter one, Thurman began by revealing that Jesus was a religious subject, not a religious object. Through this claim, it allows readers to see Jesus on a more personal level. Of course, we look up to God as an influential teacher, but we also are able to have a much more intimate relationship with him. In order to understand Jesus' teachings, we must also understand where he came from. This is expressed when Thurman states, "It is necessary to examine the religion of Jesus against the background of his own age and people, and to inquire into the content of his teaching with reference to the disinherited and the underprivileged" (5). Jesus lived his life as a typical Jew, but what made him so important was how he differed from his counterparts.

In Scene 4 there was a significant shift in the tempo this then affected the mood and atmosphere. This change complement Bec’s worry and desire to earn the free chocolates by explaining her worries to the Researcher. As Bec hurries onto the stage entering from the right the Researcher is standing centre-stage with a stand which is a prop to her side. Bec walks quickly pass the Research and during this does not make direct eye contact, this shows that she is ashamed with herself. The Researcher has a very desperate tone to her voice confirming with a later statement that she does not have many volunteers. During the scene the Researchers movements are very distance as she moves away from Bec when she explains her life. During the scene Bec’s

For most people, growing up is easy because the majority of families have plenty of privileges, but they usually are overlooked since many expect more than what they already have. But in the story Under the Feet of Jesus by Helena Maria Viramontes, Estrella is a girl who is deprived of a steady home because she is constantly moving from farm to farm. While she works arduously in the fields every day in unbearable conditions she attempts to maintain a stable environment for her siblings. By doing so, Estrella learns how to take responsibility in her family because she is beginning to mature out of her childish self. As she matures into an adult, she discovers the ability to associate herself with other adults and how to take risks that
Acts 8:26-40 teaches us a variety of things about mission as well as evangelism’s role within it. It reminds us whose mission it is, that radical inclusion is anticipated, that evangelism is an important aspect of but is not in itself mission, and that the Holy Spirit plays a fundamental and essential role in mission and effective evangelism.

As I read through this passage I notice a few uses of literary features including foreshadowing, irony, and a Biblical reference to something that we have discussed in this class. Perhaps the most important literary feature, in my opinion, of this passage is the foreshadowing of Jesus’ future work in the world. In this passage, it becomes apparent that Jesus is now fully aware of his relationship to God and of God’s plan for him. This is shown by his quote in verse 49: “Why were you searching for me?” he asked. “Didn’t you know I had to be about my Father’s business?” (MEV translation).
In Shakespeare’s play, Hamlet, Prince Hamlet’s speech or soliloquy from Act 4, Scene 4 effectively targets both the plays audience and other characters in the play. In Hamlets speech, he is reflecting on how he is meaninglessly prolonging Claudius’s death, even though he could have killed him at anytime and how he has everything he needs to accomplish his goal. He is also reflecting on how God has blessed humans with the power of thought to use when needed and that blessing is what makes humans different from animals. Hamlet’s speech opens the eyes of the audience by showing them how humans are capable of doing anything they put their minds too and the consequences of overthinking and not taking action to
Luke and Acts tells the story of what Jesus did and taught during his ministry, first in his earthly life and then as the exalted Christ and Lord through his disciples. This essay will outline the various titles Luke used to portray or described Jesus in his two-volume narrative, in doing this we hope to get a better understanding and a complete picture of who Jesus was. Luke in his two volume work described Jesus in numerous ways and I am only going to be discussing four which referred to him as Christ, Lord, Prophet and Savior. The main Christological themes that appear in Luke-Acts highlighted and emphasised on the concept of the “Lord 's Christ”, meaning the coming ruler of God 's people, who will serve as their Savior and performing prophetic work [2 pg. 123-143]. Moreover, Jesus’s role was not assumed on his own initiative, but rather it was the work of God. Thus we can say that God’s work and plans were at the center of the Book of Acts and Luke’s gospel [1 pg 22].
In today’s Gospel, we read about Matthew 20:1-16. A man hired laborers for his vineyard. The men started at 9 o’clock, and agreed to usual daily wage. Around 5 o’clock, the man met more people standing around. He asked them, “Why do you stand here and idle all day?” The men replied, “Because no one has hired us.” He then told them to work in his vineyard. Later, the man told his foreman, “Summon the laborers and give them their pay, beginning with the last and ending with the first.” When the men who started at 5 o’clock came, they received the usual daily wage. When the the man who started at 9 o’clock came, he received the same wage. The man who worked earlier started to complain about how he worked more, but received the same wage.
Mark in this reflection relates the power and wisdom of Jesus’ healing ministries. In Mk 5:35-43 Jesus’ helped a family that was suffering due to the death of their 12 year old daughter. In fact, Jesus help them to resurrect her by saying that she was not death but a sleep, after this words Jesus used his healing ministry and said “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”).
Jesus is presented in the Gospel of Mark as not only christ, son of God, but also servant of God, whom of which brings the wisdom, and Kingdom of God; shown in his teachings. This is demonstrated in the first miracle, the casting out of a demon. “This was because Jesus had said, ‘Evil *spirit, come out of this man!” (Mark 5:8) Thus demonstrating that the God whom Jesus served was superior to all other gods.This gospel points out that Jesus showed His authority over disease, nature, demons, death, and Sin
Paul starts out by using the phrase “For this reason” in his prayer which he also uses in verse 1 of this book. In verse 14, when stating this, he is referring back to verse (3:1-13) where he is explaining his suffering but also how God has provided grace to him. He was explaining what God had revealed to him and that he will divulge this information to them. Paul then goes into explaining about how we should pray to our Father by kneeling before Him. Kneeling was a sign of reverence to God and used often in the Bible. As in the book of Acts, after speaking to the people of Ephesus, he ended by praying with them by reverencing in the position of kneeling. “When Paul had finished speaking, he knelt down with all of them and prayed.” (Acts 20:36). When kneeling, this brings deeper emotions to the act of
