Jesus: Opposing View Of Religion
The History of Jesus’ Miracles
The term “religion” is traced to the Latin religare, which means, “being bound.” This idea may reflect a concept prominent in biblical literature. Because it crosses so many different boundaries in human experiences, it causes a great deal of controversy. The central views of defining what religion is suffer two conflicting sides. On one opposing view of religion is more of narrower aspects, where they tend exclude many belief systems. An example of a narrow definition of religion is commonly seen as the “belief in God”, excluding polytheistic religions and atheistic religions. Another opposing view of religion is more of a vague aspect that suggests any and everything about a religion. An example of a vague …show more content…
It’s apparent in the stories of the Raising of Lazarus (John 11:43) and Casting Out an Unclean Spirit (Mark 1:23). The gospel story, Raising of Lazarus is found in the book of John. Jesus got a message that his friend, Lazarus, was very ill. Jesus stayed two days longer in the town He was in before setting out to Bethany, which was the town Lazarus lived in. Unfortunately by the time Jesus got there, Lazarus been in the tomb for four days. Martha, Lazarus sister blamed Jesus for not getting there in time. He told Martha that her brother will rise again and asked to be led to his resting place. Jesus asked Martha to remove the stone that blocked the entrance. When the stone was removed, Jesus looked upward and prayed to the Father. He cried for Lazarus to come out and to astonishment the dead man came out with his hands, feet and face wrapped in a cloth. He commanded Lazarus to be unbounded and to be set free. The Raising of Lazarus from the dead is a sign of the New Life that results from putting our faith in a Living Savior instead of in the dead promises of the world. The gospel story, Casting Out an Unclean Spirit, is found in the book of Mark. There was a man in a synagogue with an unclean spirit that was crying out for help. Jesus commanded the spirit to come out. The unclean spirit caused the man to shiver while crying out with a loud voice coming out of him. Everyone was amazed at what they had just seen. Almost immediately the news spread. What does this say about the power of Jesus? This proves that Jesus is Lord over demons. The stories in the gospels of the bible provide the complete understanding of the importance of the miracles of Jesus
