Research Paper On Resurrection Of Jesus

Once upon a time, in a far off land lived a man named Jesus. Jesus was the Son of God. His mother was named Mary, and his earthly father was Joseph. Joseph was of the line of King David, whose line of heritage was traced back all the way to Adam and Eve. Jesus had the power to heal the sick and paralyzed, give sight to the blind, speech to the mute, and life to the dead. This may very well sound like a fairy tale, but all of this was as true and real as you and me. Jesus was the living proof of God, and was literally God on earth. Jesus was perfect in every way, and was without sin; yet the Pharisees did not like what Jesus was preaching and accused him of blasphemy. This of course was not true; because God is inerrant, and Jesus was the living and, the human version of God, he speaks no lies, nor commits any crimes. Because of the charges against Him, and the Roman Empire convinced that He was causing trouble, He was sentenced to a crucifixion. The crucifixion of

The topic of my research paper will focus on the second coming of Jesus and will it happen during our lifetime. Does biblical prophecy predict the second coming of Jesus? Are we living in the end times? Does the rise in political correctness, racism, homosexuality, and terrorism go hand and hand with the Word of God? My argument will focus on the fact that today's world is out of control and that God warned us in the Bible that these will be signs of the second coming of Jesus. Another major point of my research paper will focus on the fact that the majority of today's population is on a spiritual downfall. God has been taken from our homes, schools, churches, and public establishments. If Jesus came back today, how many non-believers will

Many people ridicule Christians for believing in a man who resurrected from the dead. They laugh at Christians and criticize them for basing their faith on an event that lack proof and evidence. However, the evidence that skeptics use to challenge the Christian faith, in actuality, support the claims that Jesus truly was the God that he claimed to be. The evidence that affirms Jesus’ claims to be true include his lifestyle and teachings, the prophecies that he fulfilled, historical facts, and the dramatic transformation of the lives of his disciples. Many may ask Christians how they can believe in a Savior without proof of his divinity; but, in reality, God has given us an abundance of signs. He is still providing us with compelling evidence

Were it not for the power that Jesus inherited from His Father, His great sacrifice would not have been possible. On the night Jesus was betrayed, He took three of the Twelve and went into the place called Gethsemane. It was there He suffered the pains of all men. He suffered as only God could suffer, bearing our griefs, carrying our sorrows, being wounded for our transgressions, voluntarily submitting Himself to the iniquity of us all, just as Isaiah prophesied. It was in Gethsemane where Jesus took on Himself the sins of the world, in Gethsemane where His pain was equivalent to the cumulative burden of all men, in Gethsemane where He descended below all things so that all could repent and come to Him. Jesus was ordered to carry the crossbeam

This paper is a review of the book The Resurrection of Jesus: A New Historiographical Approach by Michael Licona. This book is comprised of pages that “investigate the question of the historicity of Jesus’ resurrection while providing unprecedented interaction with the literature of professional historians outside of the community of biblical scholars on both hermeneutical and methodological considerations.” The book is separated into five long chapters: “Chapter 1: Important Consideration pertaining to Historical Truth” , “Chapter 2: The Historians and Miracles”, “Chapter 3: Historical Sources Pertaining to the Resurrection of Christ”, “Chapter 4: The Historical Bedrock Pertaining to the Fate of Jesus”, and “Chapter 5: Weighing Hypothesis”.

The resurrection in the gospel message is very important to any reader/believer. Its very important for many reasons, first off the gospel would be incomplete without the resurrection. If Jesus walked the earth and was the messiah, he was a healer, a sinless man, performed miracles, and taught about the kingdom of God but then died then we would have no hope in the afterlife.

The story of Jesus' life is described and depicted in each of the four Gospels in the Bible. Matthew, Mark, and Luke are also known as the synoptic books, which means see things the same. There are some beliefs that Mark was written as a summary of the book of Matthew, but more scholars actually believe now that Mark was the first of the Gospels to be written. The book of Mark paints a vivid picture of Jesus' life, and all that he carried out on earth. Many examples of Jesus healing, forgiving and teaching are given throughout the book.

Throughout Jesus’ time here on Earth, he changed many peoples’ lives. For example, he would heal the sick everywhere he went, as well as preaching to thousands of people about God and His Salvation. The Pharisees, a group of legalistic people, were trying very hard to convict Jesus of a crime, because they did not like how he would “rewrite” the laws of the city in order to help people in need of a savior. In fact, there are three distinct times in Matthew 1-14, where Jesus “rewrites” the Jewish law in order to continue ministering to thousands, if not millions, of people.

In the modern Western culture, there are few topics that are more controversial than the discussion of Jesus Christ in public places, whether on the political stage, in the workplace, or in public schools. The silence of Christians in the face of violent criticism against the faith has led many to wrongly assume that Christianity is a faith based on myths and falsehoods, which could never be backed by fact or historical evidence. At the center of this assumption is the resurrection of Jesus, an event so miraculous that, without digging a little deeper, it seems impossible that it could actually be supported by evidence. However, regardless of how impossible it might seem, there is a wealth of evidence available to support the biblical Resurrection

Another word that can be used in place of redemption is solution for that is exactly what Christ’s ultimate sacrificial act upon the cross provided humanity: A solution. Jesus’ solution offers a means of knowing the Father through humility by acknowledging and admitting that we are lost and in need of guidance and sanctification. “Redemption culminates in the work of Christ; it is the only way to God. Yet Christ’s redemption calls [Christians and counselors] to action in the world around us” (McMinn, 1996, p. 249). As both Christians and counselors, we have the opportunity to exhibit Christ-likeness to our clients through our actions, verbal- and non-behaviors, compassion, kindness, and empathetic understanding; consequently, providing

I, as an individual being, believe that the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ indeed happened, and I also accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. As a child, I was raised in a Christian home; because of this, I consider myself as a Christian. However, I did deal with the uncertainty of my faith as I grew older. I can say this doubt was primarily because I had so many questions about this world- all its pain and misery- and to no relief, I could not find any suitable answers. And if I could find an explanation, that explanation would just lead to more issues. It felt like an endless search for the truth. This pursuit for answers made me feel hopeless and made me question everything, including God's judgment. Which of course caused

“Christian Churches celebrate a yearly cycle of festivals, leading the worshiper through the life of Jesus and the gift of the Spirit.” (Living Religions, pg. 348)

Overall, the events of the resurrection must have been a period of great confusion and bewilderment to Jesus’ followers. Even though Jesus’ followers had knowledge of the resurrection from the Scriptures and Jesus’ own personal testimony and prophecies (Matthew 16:21; 20:17), they still did not understand, at least in the beginning. But how quickly that confusion and bewilderment turned to joy after their eyes were opened. When I became a true follower of Jesus many years ago, I can remember the joy that I felt in having my eyes opened. I like to think that the joy I experienced was the same joy Jesus’ followers experienced after the resurrection.

When Jesus is preaching He always says “Come, walk with me”. For us, it is sure that Jesus is with us in our everyday lives. We are sure of this because of our faith to Him. Therefore Jesus wants us to realize that if we follow him with all our hearts we are sure that we are in his protection but if you are away from Him, He is still with you that is because sometimes if we are making sins we come to realize the things that we’ve done wrong.

Jesus founder of humanity changes the course of history. The story in Numbers is about the people in the wilderness “annoyed” and scared of the unknown. Therefore, the Israelites complain and speaking against God and Moses, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and we loathe this worthless food?” Because they were whining! God did the utmost sending venomous snakes among the Israelites to bite and kill them (Numbers 21:5-6).
