Look: 1. Vs. 22-24 The next day the Crowd realized that Jesus was gone. The disciples had been seen leaving on a boat, but Jesus had not entered the boat. Since there was no other boat, the crowd assumed He was still there, so they did not leave. However, other boats had come near the place, so they make the conclusion that He had left. So, finally realizing that He was really gone, they also took boats and went to Capernaum looking for Him This confirms that the leaving of Jesus was miraculous

After being raised in a very family-oriented Lutheran church, it is strange to read verses from the Gospels that show Jesus wanting families to be divided and rejecting his own family. Most Christian understandings of family stem from love and “Honor thy father and mother,” but in Matthew and Mark, Jesus’ expectations are harsh and negative. Rather than showing them honor and following parents’ wishes, Jesus wants people to go against the people they are closest to. While both Matthew 10:34-39

we have studied, Matthew wrote to the Jews, Mark to the Tomans, Luke to the Gentiles. John wrote to the world. John is not a part of the snoptic gospels but presents the chromalogical presentation of the life of Jesus as not a top priority. He is more interested in the teological signifiance of miraculous signs of the Lord and structures his gospel around seven major signs. John desires to present Jesus as the Incarnate Word, God in the flesh. As a eye witness to the love and power displayed

If Jesus Met Hester Prynn In John chapter 4 we come across a great story about Jesus talking to the women at the well. This story draws some great parallels, to the story of the Scarlet letter, but first let's take a look at how Jesus interacts to the women at the well. In the beginning of the story, Jesus is thirsty so he stops at a well to get a drink of water. Once he gets there he meets a Samaritan woman, and he asks her for a drink from the well. This is a big deal, because Jesus was a Jew

The Jesus Paper. Question 1. John’s purpose in writing the gospel is so that people might believe “that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing, [one] may have life in his name” (Jn. 20:31). So, the essential identity of Jesus is “the Christ” which is a Greek word for “chosen one” or “anointed one.” In addition, John claims Jesus to be God’s Son making him equal to God. However, there are other titles and identities that John subscribes to Jesus. Firstly, and quite

Matthew's main goals in his gospel, was to prove that Jesus was the true Davidic Messiah, the true king that the Jews were expecting, the king who would deliver them from their oppression and bondage. The way that Matthew portrays Christ as King can really be broken down into three

Craig Blomberg, New Testament Scholar and Professor at Denver Seminary, provides an insightful commentary on the Gospel of Matthew. Blomberg investigates the text using a historical, literary, and theology analysis. The commentary begins with an introduction analyzing the following 7 topics regarding the entirety of the Matthean Gospel: (1) structure, (2) theology, (3) purpose and audience, (4) sources, (5) date, (6) author, (7) and historicity and genre. Blomberg, then, throughout the rest of the

Jesus Christ Superstar is adapted from Andrew Lloyd and Tim Rice's Broadway with the genre of rock opera. In this Performance it records the last days of Jesus's life before his crucifixion a modern, more understandable way. This performance is played through the perspective of Judas Iscariot. In this wonderful story we are shown betrayal and how it can hurt not only Jesus but his supporters, this betrayal is brought on after Judas begins to worry about Jesus overwhelming himself and also growing

(i) ‘The Gospel was written to make clear the identity of Jesus.’ Examine this claim regarding the purpose of either Luke’s Gospel or the Fourth Gospel. (18) It is evident from reading the gospel that the essential element to Jesus’ identity, that Luke attempts to make clear, is his role as saviour. One group Jesus attempted to save is the lost. Through the gospel, Luke offers a way back to God by appealing to those who may have thought contemporary Judaism had cast them out - he feels like salvation

The author of Acts is Luke who also penned the gospel of Luke. Luke wrote this book approximately A. D. 63 or 64 D. The Purpose of Acts was to record the growth and development of the movement inaugurated by Jesus and carried on by the apostles after the resurrection and ascension of Jesus. Acts essentially demonstrates the history of the Christian effort among the Gentiles and gives ample history of the Jerusalem church to authenticate the Gentile works. The principal purpose is to give an account
