Summary Of The Book 'Killing Jesus'

We are often searching for answers to find out who Jesus was or what His teachings really meant. John includes eight different situations in which Jesus gives what are known as the “I Am” statements. Instead of continuing to simply wonder about who Jesus is, we can take an in depth look into the “I Am” statements that Jesus made while He was here on earth. Conclusions can be drawn by looking at the statements Jesus makes and looking into what they mean. He uses an emphatic “I Am” to bring out important teachings about his person. Most of these statements are known by Christians.

It is assumed by many scholars and believed by Protestants that the birthdate of Jesus was on December 25th somewhere between 6 and 4 BC. Protestants believe in the he was born in an obscure village called Bethlehem in the Southern region of Judea. The story of Jesus’ birth is known as the nativity scene where his Mother mary and her husband Joseph birth him in a manger around farm animals, shepherds, wise men, and kings. This event became the base for the holiday Christmas which is celebrated in households all around the world.

Mary delivered the child, wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger. Mary, joseph, and baby Jesus were visited by shepherds from nearby fields, called on by angels. Once they reached the stable, the shepherds and their flock knelt down before the manger, in respect for this newborn king. When they did this, the child’s parents were amazed that these shepherds were so reverent to and amazed by their own child! The Holy Family’s travel back to Nazareth was a long and dangerous one. It was so dangerous because of King Herod. Herod heard that Jesus was to be the new king, and Herod did not like this at all! His solution to this was to find baby Jesus and destroy him. Luckily, Joseph was visited in a dream by an angel, who said,” Rise and take the child and his mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you” (Mt. 2:13). The Blessed family stayed in Egypt until the death of Herod. By doing so, Jesus fulfilled yet another prophecy, “When Israel was a child I loved him, out of Egypt I called my son” (Hos. 11:1). Before that, Herod realized he had been tricked, he became enraged. He ordered the boys of Bethlehem, and its vicinity, that were at the two and younger to be massacred. It was then that what the prophet Jeremiah had said had been fulfilled: “A voice was heard in Raman, sobbing and loud lamentation; Rachel weeping for her children, and since she would not be consoled, since they were gone no more.” The

The Passover is fulfilled by Jesus throughout His Passion Week. Jesus, like the lamb for the nation, he came from Bethany, where He had just risen Lazarus, and was on his way to Jerusalem. He was surrounded by a massive crowd, who “took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, ‘Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!’” Following this entry to Jerusalem, “just as the Passover Lamb was put on public display for four days, Jesus stood in the temple for four

Proceeding into Galilee, Jesus is said “to teach in their synagogues.” Twice Luke says that on the basis of his teaching, Jesus gains renown and He was praised by everyone. Given Jesus growing acclaim, it is reasonable to assume that he is withholding some of the jarring eschatological and Christological implications of His message until He appears in His hometown. Moreover, focus narrows in verse 16 as Jesus moves from Galilee to Nazareth “where he had been brought up.” Focus sharpens further as Jesus moves from the town to the synagogue, where his “customary” appearance reinforces Luke’s presentation of him as a devout Jew, circumcised, presented in the temple, and taking part in Passover. In cultic terms, Jesus has moved from the temple

Undoubtedly, builders of megalithic structures were concerned about the problem of precise astronomical estimation of time intervals less than 24 hours. Not without reason in the center of the Stonehenge there is a stone “gnomon”, the sun-dial obelisk. The most ancient descriptions of sun-dials in Egypt were found in texts dating back to the time of Pharaoh Tutmos III (16th century BCE). Museum collections include a lot of ancient sun-dials, however probably the oldest sun-dial is a carved stone from the time of Pharaoh Mernepht (13th century BCE) found in Palestine. In case of ancient sun-dials they used to tell the time not by direction of the shadow but by the length of shadow. In Egypt many high ancient obelisks have a special marking around
