"WINNING OVER ANXIETY” Matthew 6:25–34 Too often the world’s wisdom focuses on the anxious person and what they can do to resolve their anxiety. The Bible’s treatment for anxiety involves more than just the anxious person doing the right things, saying the right prayers, following a proper diet and getting the right amount of sleep. It also involves friends. Matthew 6:25–34 says, 25 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your

the Synoptic Gospels, but also uncovers how Jesus’ purpose for coming into the world relates to him being preexistent. Gathercole’s most crucial arguments come from the sections: Prolegomena, Advent and Mission of Jesus, and the Titles of Jesus in Matthew, Mark, and Luke. The Prolegomena section explains that the preexistence of Jesus was a common view in early Christianity (pre-Temple destruction). Gathercole makes mention that Paul, Jude and the author of Hebrews identifies Jesus’ identity as being

There are many significant differences between gospel of John compared to the the synoptic gospels. The way Jesus was portrayed in John is the main distinction. There are stories that only appear in John that do not appear in the other gospels. These stories give an idea of Jesus as the “special” one. Four of the seven signs in the gospels were only mentioned in John. Jesus is portrayed as the “Holy One of God” compared to the other gospels. There are many details that can be drawn from the events

The Shroud of Turin Many people believe the Shroud of Turin is the burial cloth of Jesus Christ. It is made with linen cloth and is about thirteen and a half feet long by four and a half feet wide. It has been dated in various time periods, but those that have faith that it is the burial cloth of Jesus Christ, believe it is from the first century. Some carbon dating testing, however, indicates that the Shroud is from the thirteenth and fourteenth century. For this reason, many people debate

to the presence of Herod could be the desire to stress the Lukan belief that Jesus and his family are from Galilee. In the infancy narrative, readers are told by Luke that Mary and Joseph only travel to Bethlehem because of the Roman Census. While Matthew

early ministry. He traveled from Jerusalem, around places like Samaria and Judea. He selected the people who were to be His disciples, like in Matthew 14:18-22, where He told Simon Peter, Andrew, James son of Zebedee, and his brother John to come follow Him. Jesus proclaimed and taught the gospel to a lot of people, and healed their illnesses, like in Matthew 14:23-25. 2. There were two types of miracles that Jesus performed. One of the types is spiritual miracles. These were the things Jesus did

As we all know, there are four gospels; Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. All are different, interesting, and each tells us stories about Jesus, and yet three of the four are very similar. Matthew was one of Jesus’ Twelve Apostles and a tax collector. He was also known by other names; Saint Matthew and Levi. The gospel of Matthew was written by Matthew between AD 50 and 70. It is noted that the gospel of Matthew was intended for a Jewish audience and written from a Jewish viewpoint. Matthew’s gospel

As I read through this passage I notice a few uses of literary features including foreshadowing, irony, and a Biblical reference to something that we have discussed in this class. Perhaps the most important literary feature, in my opinion, of this passage is the foreshadowing of Jesus’ future work in the world. In this passage, it becomes apparent that Jesus is now fully aware of his relationship to God and of God’s plan for him. This is shown by his quote in verse 49: “Why were you searching for

Jesus, someone gets mad and Jesus defends her. Despite, what truly make the gospels different and each from a unique viewpoint is their differences. For example, Matthew, Mark and John’s location is at Simon the leper’s house, making Luke’s gospel the only different one, because it was at the Pharisee's house, name Simon. Also, Matthew and Mark the ointment she poured was over Jesus’ head, in contrast to Luke and John where she poured the ointment on his feet. Moreover, in Matthew’s gospel the “disciples”

John the Baptist: The First and Most Important of Jesus’ Followers Throughout the books of Matthew, Mark, and Luke Jesus is established as the Messiah and the most prominent holy figure of the faith - the Son of God. Yet Jesus started out as a regular boy who practiced the Jewish faith much the same as every other Jew around him and admired the priests as righteous men that would help the Jews follow the word of Yahweh and the Laws of Moses. One such man is John the Baptist, a priest and prophet
