The Cross Jesus' death was not a beautiful thing to watch, but his resurrection was the most magnificent. The Romans stripped Jesus down and made him wear a scarlet robe. They had placed a crown made of thorns and mocked him. The Romans would spit on him and whip him. They then stripped Jesus naked and made him carry his cross to a place called Golgotha. The Romans hung Jesus on the cross. They stuck 5-7 inch nails into his hands and feet. Jesus died by suffocation of his own blood.
Once the Romans realized that Jesus was dead they took him off the cross. They had buried him in a tomb. Three days later Mary and some women went down to the tomb to take some spices. They saw that the tomb stone was rolled away. They went inside and did not see

Today, as I attend school with the major heading as “Missions,” I hear a lot of talk about different methods in creating disciples. However, “Paul’s modus operandi for training was time on task” (pp. 59). In other words, disciples were made through time spent rather than strictly content. It sounds like relationship was a key aspect. Paul also focused on transferring these converts into true believers. It seems a lot in churches today, individuals are more focused on content rather than time. Therefore, they spend more time in the church “learning” than spending time with those that need “discipled.” With that, people in the church tend to “convert” others or brag about increased attendance, but have no plan to turn these individuals into true believers.
College athletes should get paid because they are risking their career of getting hurt, and they will be prepared for the pros. Getting hurt is a big role of ruining a college athletes chance of going pro, (NCAA) makes the athletes that have a chance of going pro get insurance and NCAA covers that insurance which is 90k. When a college athlete gets, hurt they don't pay the medical bill the college does, I wouldn't expect colleges to pay for an injury. When college athletes get hurt, they lose college credits for being in the hospital and not being in class, their athletes and play for your college give them a break and give them their credit. A college athlete named Brandon Roy, who played for the University Of Washington got hurt in a college game and had knee problems since then, in 2006 he made it to the NBA played for Minnesota Timberwolves got traded to the Portland Trailblazers then retired in 2011 then returned in 2012 and played for Minnesota then got hurt the 5th game of the season and then he announced he was done for good.
Isaac was “raised” from the dead when God asked Abraham to stopped the act, upon seeing his faith. Jesus himself was also raised from the grave after the cross. Both Isaac and Jesus offered their lives up willingly for Abraham and God the Father respectively as a sacrifice.
According to the Oxford Dictionary, war means, "A state of armed conflict between different countries or different groups within a country". War is usually started due to political entities, nations, or in earlier times to resolve political or territorial disputes. War was used to take over land, take over other lands resources to suffice their population rather than tax their civilisations. Yet when did war begin and how has it progressed through history and time?
“On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.” Here Jesus was killed and later resurrected into heaven.
In this paper, the writer will explain the following questions about the American's belief about Jesus. The first question is Why do you think Americans' dedication to Jesus is, in most cases, "a mile wide and an inch deep?" What is the root of the problem? How do walking with Christ and engaging in the community help people's faith become "a mile deep?"
Jesus’s death turned him into a martyr, catapulting him into prominence as the saviour of Man in the eyes of God. Jesus’s widely known trial, death, and alleged rising set off a chain that caused him to be thought of as the son of God, and eventually caused his death to be one of the most celebrated events in the western world. The speculations surrounding the night before his death also shed an interesting light upon the way in which he died, emphasizing that, unlike what it may seem, Jesus was actually rather reluctant to embrace his death as a victory. In Mark chapters 14:32-42, Jesus tells his disciples “My soul is
The primary focus of each of the three quests for the historical Jesus, endeavors a series of approach to challenge the legitimacy of the Synoptic Gospels as an unreliable resource to study Jesus existence; even more, to question the NT portrayal of Jesus veracity, through an intellectual group of scholars applying other ancient book in their research into what is known as today “the Quest of the Historical Jesus.” Unlike the first century Christians, “It was widely assumed that the Jesus presented in the Bible was the man who lived and died—and rose—in Palestine in the first century.”1
I.N.R.I. can mean different things depending on the language it is written in and how you interpret it. Regardless of which meaning you choose, the concept that Jesus is the king remains the same. According to the gospels, when Jesus began his ministry, he didn’t publicly call himself the Messiah and he even warned his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Christ. Despite his discretion, his cures and teachings began to attract crowds. Many people of Galilee started to believe that he was the Messiah. With this following, Jesus, decided to attend the Passover Festival in Jerusalem. While at the festival, he got so angry at dishonest merchants that he launched an attack at them. The Jewish leaders saw the crowds that gathered and
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.
The Gospels of Jesus tell a story that is a unified story over the four gospels. Each of the four writers had their own point of view that they were writing from. Just a four journalists covering an important story will write from their own point of view

Many things caught my eye while reading Dancing by Jonas. The first thing that caught my eye was how active, and how meaningful dance is in the Asante culture For example, all of the courtiers are responsible for passing down the traditions of song and dance (p. 87). Dancing in our culture is important to some, however, in Ghana it means much more.
Who is Jesus? We have never seen him, so how would we know for sure that he exists and is indeed God’s only son? Jesus is the central figure of Christianity. His name appears in the crucial part of the Bible, especially in the New Testament. The coming of Jesus had been prophesied by many Old Testament prophets, such as Micah and Isaiah. The name Jesus is often used in both positive and negative ways. For example, people receive blessings from God and praise Him; but in another way, they use the name of the Lord in vain when they encounter any mundane failures. Through reading the Bible and devotional books, we can learn more about the interesting and meaningful life of Jesus.
