Jesus Before A Sonogram

John uses the word “logos” at the beginning of his gospel, which roughly translates in English to “the Word.” Our book takes this idea one step further by explaining that “Logos can mean anything from a divine utterance to the principle of cosmic reason that orders and governs the universe” (Harris, 2012: 231). This is to say that John connected Jesus to the Greek idea that He was there at the beginning of when the earth was created and given its form and order. This, therefore, also connects this entity of Jesus to that which was sitting on the right hand of God at the creation of the universe, as told to us in the first chapter of Genesis.

Hebrews 1:2-3 says, “But in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven” (NIV). In an article in The Christian Crier, author Jack Wellman gives a great description of Jesus.

The son will be great and will be called the Son of the Highest and God will give him the throne of David. He will also reign over Jacob’s house forever. Mary, just like Zachariah doubts the angel’s words since she didn’t know a man. The angel tells her that she will conceive of the Holy Spirit and Jesus will be called the Son of God. He tells her that her relative is also pregnant for with God nothing is impossible. Mary says that she is a servant of God and he could do whatever he wished with her.

Jesus Christ is the Son of God, born of the Virgin Mary. Jesus lived a humble life, spreading the word of the Lord, and died by crucifixion for the sins of all of humanity. “Jesus is referred to as Savior.

     The details of Jesus’ childhood were skipped by Matthew, most likely to show how significant his years of ministry were. The next important moment in the life of Jesus was his baptism. He went to the Jordan River where he met his cousin, John the Baptist, who was a prominent preacher of the time. John knew that Jesus was the Son of God, so he found it difficult to baptize him. He felt that Jesus should be the one baptizing him, but Jesus made it clear that it was his Father’s will that it should be done. As Jesus was baptized, the presence of God was felt among Jesus and the crowd. Matthew 3:16 tells of the heavens being opened up and the spirit of God descending upon him in the form of a dove. In Matthew 3:17, God said, “This is my Son, the Beloved, with whom I am well pleased.” To anyone who is unfamiliar with Jesus, this is strong evidence of his powerful presence in the world to do the work of God.

Jesus was declared to be the Mighty God and Everlasting Father long before he was ever conceived in the womb of Mary. The Everlasting Father became the child and son born in the manger. Therefore Jesus truly is Immanuel, God with us. Jesus is Almighty God become a man.

There are many aspects of Jesus’ birth and life that lay hidden within the folds of time, most of these tend to bring about theories that to some degree cannot be proven or disproven. This vagueness around the life of Jesus is offset by the works of the gospels in the

In the discussions it was revealed that each of the Synoptic Gospels and the Gospel of John give their own unique perspective of Jesus; some similar and some different. These different accounts of Jesus extant a challenge to try to discern a distinct image of Jesus.

Mary was the mother of Jesus Christ. Mary was also a saint of the lord. God came down and told her. You are going to be blessed with a child of, god. And you will be the virgin Mary of, God. Mary was blessed by Jesus. When she had Jesus, god gave her to never sin. He never did.

How does the story “How Much Land Does A Man Need?” by Tolstoy parallel to Jesus’s parables in Luke 12:16-20? Luke 12:16-20 tells the parable of the rich man who spends his earning to grow his profits only thinking of expanding. This parallel is shown when Pahom started to complain about the distance that he had to move his wheat. “If I were to buy some freehold land, and have a homestead on it, it would be a different thing altogether. Then it would all be nice and compact.” This quote from the short story is almost exactly like verse’s 18-19. “Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for

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 gospel gives away more to as who Jesus was as person and telling of his teachings in the ministry. John takes us behind Jesus’s ministry, where we get a glimpse of what it means to believe in Jesus as flesh of the eternal and living God, as the source of light and life, and for a believer to be a ‘Son of God.” (Sparknotes

Whether or not Jesus was truly the Son of God is a question that theologians and philosophers have been trying to answer for centuries. One might also ask the question, “Was Jesus even a Divine Man?” Interestingly enough, Jesus was not the only man though to be divine in nature. People living in the Greco-Roman world reference ancient sources to highlight their belief that numerous individuals obtain divine qualities and characteristics. The person of Jesus is one of the most influential characters in human history and this is why it is so important to investigate whether or not he was who he said he was.

Johannine literature truly portrays Jesus as God, with the theme of His deity interwoven throughout numerous passages. In this respect, John’s style differs from the other four gospels, as Bickel & Jantz (1998) point out that the other three had been written prior to John’s gospel, therefore, “he wasn’t interested in just retelling the events” (p. 222). Since Jesus is the focal point of Scripture, a scholar of the New Testament with uncertainty concerning Jesus’ oneness with God will fail to perceive the crux of Christianity. Therefore, in spite of its importance, John does not focus on Jesus’ entrance into the

In previous chapters, the real identity of Jesus is unknown- the crowds wonder if he is the Son of David (Matt 12:23), the disciples previously said that he was “the Son of God (Matt 8:29, 14:33) and Jesus himself identifies himself as “the Son of Man” (Matt 10: 23; 2:8; 12:40) and even likening himself to a Prophet (Matt 13:57).
