Reflection Of Jesus

In When We Fight, We Win by Greg Jobin-Leeds it says that “comparison can block compassion both for others and for ourselves.” I agree with such statement; I think that listening is a skill you learn throughout time. One can pretend to listen without really getting anything out of the conversation that one is having with that other person. In the Compassionate Listening workshop, I got to do it with Rachel Kurland and I sit and listened to her talking about the moment her friend treason her. I tried to understand her plight, why would she not cut that friendship off, I understood she loved her friend, however, I could not resist bringing my biases to our conversation. I asked myself, why is Rachel, such a good, loving, and smart person,

Yesterday, in the city of Judea, a man, going by the name of “Jesus of Nazareth” was crucified, for blasphemy. In his crimes, he claimed to be the son of God, and was apparently spreading false tales and stories. He had amassed a large following of people, including the 12 he held most dear, the disciples. In the week before his death, he had been observed to enter Jerusalem through the East gate, as onlookers laid down palm leaves, to mark the coming of the “Messiah”. On the second day, he was observed to have turned over tables in the temple, feeling evidently angry at the fact there were gamblers inside the temple, he also very rudely refused to sacrifice an animal to enter the temple, claiming that he did not agree with the moral idea of

In the Bible, the population, at first does not accept Jesus, but more come to believe in Him after he is able to prove his powers through the miracles he performs.  However, the nobility, especially, they fear that their power is threatened; eventually, they are out to get Jesus.  Once Jesus' authority is questioned, most people who once believed in him no longer acknowledge their faith in him.  Eventually, swayed by the aristocrats, the people begin hating Jesus. He is treated less than human and is no longer a useful tool for the people, a source of healing or peace.  He becomes a scapegoat, and is considered the source of problems.  Even the people closest to him, his disciples, betray him.  Judas sells

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.

Reflection is a major factor in "developing self-awareness" to improve services provided to everyone around me, this is to develop my own understanding in realising the good and bad made previously. Moving forward with a better understanding, as well as rectifying the mistake whilst recognizing the good points, (Horton-Deutsch and Sherwood, 2008).

This part spans over eight days, from April 2nd-9th A.D. 30. The Pharisees and the High Priest, Caiaphas, are determined to get rid of Jesus, no matter how they have to go about it. Passover has once again arrived and Jesus is well aware of the fate he is about to meet. In fact, he even predicts his death in front of the disciples multiple times, along with the betrayal of one of their own, Judas Iscariot. Throughout the days leading up to Passover, the religious leaders try everything they can think of to trick Jesus into committing a crime against Jewish Law.

The purpose of this assignment is to discuss the contribution of reflective practice for clinical nursing. Reflection has been defined as a way for individuals to “capture their experience, think about it, mull it over and evaluate” (Boud et al 1985: 19)

“I hated reading Gus the Bus over and over again to you.” This statement came from my mom after my claim that I didn’t remember being read to very much as a child. And though I don’t remember being read to, my mom and dad were influential in the beginning of my literacy. They’ve taught me not to take learning for granted, and have encouraged me to read all of my life. Despite experiencing low points with my interest in literacy throughout my life, there are clear examples of how my interest and reasoning has matured from the beginning of my literacy to the present day.

The coaching staff at Godby was extremely flexable anytime I had school work or an exam to study for they would allow me to either leave practice early or work on my assignments during practice as long as I have completed my daily task. The coaching staff was also very patient with me which was something I felt was important. They understood that I was new to their football system so they worked with me as I tried to learn the teams procedures, different plays and even getting to know the players better. They were also very mannarable when it came to me being the only women working around the program.

It depicted that Angel Gabriel tells Mary she will bear a child and Joseph takes Mary to Bethlehem for the census, where Jesus is born. The Holy family escapes Herod’s order to kill Bethlehem’s male babies. Judea comes under the ruthless rule of Pilate. John baptizes Jesus, who is now ready to take on his mission and his revolution. In episode seven, Jesus feeds the crowds in Galilee and brings a dead man, Lazarus, back to life. In episode eight, Jesus enters Jerusalem riding on a donkey, a declaration that he is the Messiah. Jesus turns on the money-changers in the Temple. Caiaphas coaxes Judas into betraying Jesus and Jesus throws the disciples into turmoil at the Last Supper. Jesus is arrested and condemned to death as the disciples scatter. In episode nine, Peter denies Jesus, and Judas hangs himself. The crowd clamors for Jesus’s death and he is crucified. When Mary Magdalene goes to his tomb, a figure walks towards her, Jesus has return. The final episode show Jesus orders the disciples to ‘go and preach to all creation,’ but their holy mission meets with hatred and even death. Paul has a vision and experiences a miraculous change of faith on a journey to Damascus. John receives a revelation that Jesus is coming back, and all who keep the faith will be

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

For this assignment, I have decided to dissect Calvin’s writing on the meaning of God’s way. God’s ways are something that is often hard for us to comprehend because our finite minds struggle to understand how an infinite God works. Calvin does a great job building a case for God’s ways based off of what we can observe through our experiences and scriptures. The main purpose for this section is to show how God works despite of our shortcomings and misunderstandings. It becomes easy in the issues of life to feel as if God has left us but Calvin makes a case for how God work in the midst of even those times.

Throughout the bible, and reading it once more by Marcus Borg, a common idea as it relates to a religious experience, is that the Bible is a human product. Throughout chapter two, Borg continuously describes the Bible as being a product of humans. He explains on page 22 that he sees scripture through the lens of the Bible being a human product, meaning that it is the “product of two ancient communities” (22). He believed that what the Bible explains things to be are words from the communities of ancient Israel and the early Christian movement. “We cannot talk about God (or anything else) except with the words, symbols, stories, concepts, and categories known to us, for they are the only language we have”, made me think about the idea that

The Giver is a morally driven and thought-provoking story about a young boy called Jonas who lives in a society free of crime, sadness, pain, death, music, color and love. The story follows Jonas as he receives the memories of the past, good and bad, from the current Receiver, who is called the Giver. The Giver transfers memories by placing his hands on Jonas 's forearms. The first memory he receives is of a thrilling sled ride, which he will remake in the end of the movie. Jonas discovers the dangerous truths of his community 's secret past. Armed with the power of knowledge, which he knew about from memories (Ways of Knowledge), Jonas realizes that he must release all the memories to the community to allow them to feel

In our society today, it can be hard to fully understand and relate to biblical texts written in a seemingly different world. With stories of great joys and sorrows, I found that although the world we live in today is different, the messages are still highly relevant. As long as humans are still imperfect and desired filled beings, we will need the wisdom of these biblical texts to guide us. As the stories of overcoming hardships and suffering made an impression on me, the stories of love and acceptance filled me with great emotion. There are many differences that seem to separate Christians today, whether in arguments such as interpretations or certain beliefs. This has only divided an undivided religion. I found comfort and strength from texts about love and a calling for Christians to come together despite differences. In this, I found a deeper connection to myself and others.
