issue of wealth, and our attitude towards it. Needless to say, Jesus talks about wealth and poverty throughout the Bible, however, more specifically in the Gospels of Luke and Acts in the New Testament. The Gospel of Luke-Acts is considered as the Gospel having an immense concern on the socio-economic background of the people. A reading of the Gospel also demonstrates that there is various material that refers to a sharp distinction of rich and poor. Generally speaking, Luke is kind-hearted to the poor

analysis of baptism. It will analyze the account of Jesus’ baptism according in the Gospel of Matthew (Matt 3:4-17). Secondly, it will explain the importance of baptism in building up the early church using the Book of Acts (Acts 2:41:47). Thirdly, the essay will conclude with a personal reflection of baptism and how this aids in serving Christ. The context to Matthew is the story of Jesus, King of the Jews. The Gospel was written primarily for a Christian Jewish audience that spoke Greek as it was

While some have held that the purpose of the Fourth gospel was to combat Docetism or to oppose those who remained loyal to John the Baptist, the internal evidence from the author is clear that his purpose for writing was that his readers would “believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life” (John 20:31) (Longman & Garland 2007, 361). As we engage the fourth gospel, especially the conversation of the woman at the well with Jesus, there are two significant

John John or The Gospel of John is classified as a narrative genre. The Gospel was written between 70 and 100 A.D. (Hindson & Town, 2013; Smith, 2002). The authors is thought to be John, son of Zebedee. There is only one reference to the author “the disciple whom Jesus loved” (21:20-24). The theme of John for Christ’s divine identity is conveyed through the seven metaphors. It tells of Jesus speaking of his Divine identity as the “bread of life” (6:35), “the light of the world” (8:12), “the door

The four gospels in the Bible are the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The book that I have chosen to focus on is the book of Luke. Referencing my reading review from earlier in this week, my favorite Biblical story is, of course, the Christmas story. In my opinion, the book of Luke tells this story in the most beautiful way, and has therefore long been my favorite of the four gospels. In order, Luke is the third book, but the second longest of the four canonical gospels (Wikipedia.org). The

The book of Acts which is the backdrop to this pericope continues as tradition has it, the account of the author of the gospel of Luke and depicts how believers went about winning souls through the spreading of the gospel of Christ in response to Jesus’ mandate to be a witness to him (Acts 1:8). A treatise written by the author of Luke’s gospel was addressed to someone named Theophilus that may have been someone of the upper echelon. The believers first had to experience what Jesus had said. He said:

Based on the vast difference between the Synoptic Gospels and the Gospel of John, most scholars believe that John's vision of Jesus does not come from the accepted Gospels, as John rarely even alludes to those writings. Geographically speaking, the Gospel of John highlighted Jesus' time in Jerusalem, while the Synoptic Gospels were more focused on his time in Galilee. The Synoptic Gospels also indicate that Jesus had a one-year ministry with one visit to Jerusalem. John, however, suggests that it

got their information from Mark and John got his information from another source, maybe John did not have access to the other gospels or he chose not to use them. No one really knows the source of John’s gospel and we don’t know for sure who wrote the gospels. Scholars refer to the authors as Matthew, Mark, Luke & John, this may not even be their real names. The Gospel were not first hand accounts except for Mark. John did not seem to have known the existence of the other

All of the Gospels have a special and important message within them. It is the Gospel of Luke that today’s Christians need the most, because of the powerful message that it provides. It seems as though today's Christians have lost the understanding that God loves everyone and that Jesus came for everyone. In the Gospel of Luke, the main focus of it is that Jesus is for everyone.
