The Pool of Bethesda: This story started at a pool where people came who were sick, blind, and lame to be heal. One day there was a lame man who could not get to the pool to be heal.

    Throughout Jesus walk on the earth He performed many miracles amongst His disciples that we have no acknowledgement of. The signs that we are aware of in John were put there so that we would believe that Jesus is the Messiah and the Son of the Most High God in Heaven. I believe there were many more because Jesus had such a hidden life in His beginnings.…

    If the contemporary church sets its worship to attract the “now crowd” it is very important that the theme of the Seven Signs and the Seven Discourses are understood as emphasized in the Gospel of John chapters 1 through 11. Culpepper’s first sign according to John 2 (pg. 129). Jesus went to the wedding at Cana and the wine was not enough and Jesus converted water to wine. The contemporary church needs to understand that Jesus is the giver of life. The discourse is every natural civilization that is born in order to have eternal life has to be changed into a spiritual man. The discourse described by Culpepper (1998) is Nicodemus going to Jesus by night to talk to Jesus about the great miracles He has performed, but Jesus knows the content of man’s heart and explained to Nicodemus that he has to be born again to see the Kingdom of God. Many in the contemporary church might not understand this concept of being born again, but Jesus is clear and as Nicodemus represents the church, all members are born again by the Spirit. John 4 illustrates Jesus heals the nobleman’s son of his fever. The nobleman’s son was sick of a…

    The first 39 books of the larger work called the Bible, is called the Old Testament. The Bible itself is arguably the best selling and most read book of all time, yet it’s well known to be quite challenging to read through and understand. The Old Testament portion of the Bible, notably the most difficult portion of the Bible for most to study and follow, yields 39 books from multiple authors, and spans over 4000 years of crucial world and church history. If that were not enough to take on, the Old Testament comes our way through multiple styles of authorship and formats, including but not limited to, books of history, law, proverbs, ethics, philosophy, treatises, dramas, songs, epics, biographies, and letters. There have been many books written and published to survey, explain, and/or bring to light the Old Testament, but none more helpful to me than the review subject of this paper, the work of Dr. Elmer L. Towns, entitled “A Journey Through the Old Testament”.…

    The book of Luke is a Gospel that contains narrative, genealogy, sermons, parables, and some Prophetic oracles. Luke begins by telling us about Jesus’s parents (Mary & Joseph); the birth of His cousin, John the Baptist; Mary and Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem, where Jesus is born in a manager, a common Christmas story, yet always fascinating; and the genealogy of Christ through Mary. Jesus’ public ministry reveals His prefect compassion and forgiveness through the stories of the prodigal son, the rich man and Lazarus, and the Good Samaritan. While many believe in this unprejudiced love that surpasses all human limits, many others especially the religious leaders challenge and oppose the claims of Jesus. Christ’s followers are encouraged to count the cost of discipleship, while His enemies seek His death on the cross. Passover arrives, and Jesus celebrates the traditional Seder meal with his disciples. Finally, Jesus is betrayed by one of his own (Judas Iscariot), He is tried, sentenced and crucified. Joseph of Arimathea buries him. On the third day some female followers of Jesus, including Mary Magdalene, go to his gravesite but find him gone. He resurrected and arose from the grave as He had miraculously raised others during His ministry.…

    Gospel Of Mark Analysis

    • 1904 Words
    • 8 Pages

    The Gospel of Mark is the oldest known surviving account of the ministry of Jesus Christ that exists today. Written approximately in the year 65 CE in Rome by an unknown writer, people have attributed the name Mark to the author, although this may not have been his actual name (I will use the name Mark to refer to the author of the gospel of Mark). As the oldest record of Christ’s ministry, it is believed that through other pieces or fragments of Jesus’ teachings and sayings, as well as stories passed down from generation to generation, Mark was able to generate his Gospel– although, the physical written documents that Mark may have used are thought to be lost, or no longer exist.…

    The bible in its entirety is full of information about the character and works of Jesus. However, to the average Christian the New Testament alone tells the story entire of Jesus and this is what is used to describe his life and works. The average Christian fails, for one reason or another, to make the connection to the words and promises that are spoken throughout the Old Testament to the beautiful picture of the Savior in the New Testament. Moreover, it is this lack of understanding, i.e. what the average Christian does not know, that Wright makes known to all who examine this book. In this paper, I will review these details that Wright has revealed concerning the complete picture of who Jesus is so that all may Know Him through the Old Testament.…

Berkhof primarily intended this book for his students at Calvin Theological Seminary where he taught for nearly 30 years. Introduction to the New Testament incorporates the research and labors of many past scholars, and church Fathers, and presents it in such a way as to make “Introduction to the New Testament” a diverse and authoritative study.…
