I think there are three reasons of why Judas betrayed Jesus. There could have been many reasons for why Judas betrayed Jesus‚ but I think in the text and from what we know about Judas‚ the reasons behind his betrayal were pretty clear. The first reason is that Judas is corrupt when it comes to money‚ as he was a tax collector‚ and he would do anything to get extra money. It says in John 12:6‚ “…he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag‚ he used to help himself to what was put into it.” Judas went

It was the most amazing thing that had ever happened to me. I was chosen to journey with Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem and see baby Jesus. The first thing that happened to me was being chosen by God to be the one who carries Mary all the way to Bethlehem. My whole life was to be rented to people who had useless purposes

King Jesus Gospel Book Reflection Caley Mays Melody Harper GLST 220-001 16 September 2014 King Jesus Gospel Book Reflection My understanding of the gospel prior to this class was that God sent his only son to earth so that we may be forgiven of our sins. The gospel to me was also about Jesus’ life‚ death and resurrection. As I was growing up I also learned about the great commission. While I learned about the great commission I realized all Christians are required to go out and take

The resurrection of Jesus Christ separates Christianity from all other religions. Christianity without the literal‚ physical resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is merely one religion among many. "And if Christ is not risen‚" said the Apostle Paul‚ "then our preaching is empty and your faith is in vain”. (1 Corinthians 15:14) Furthermore‚ "You are still in your sins!” Paul could not have chosen stronger language. (Mohler) Still‚ the resurrection of Jesus Christ has been under persistent

gospel Q and the Gospel of Thomas as gospels of “wisdom”‚ Meyer suggests that both texts indicate that Jesus was the epitome of wisdom‚ neither confirming‚ nor denying his divinity (60-61). Without ever using titles associated with divinity to refer to Jesus and omitting mention of widely believed notions of his virgin birth‚ crucifixion‚ resurrection‚ and the final judgment‚ the author insists that “Jesus in the Gospel of Thomas performs no physical miracles‚ reveals no fulfillment of prophecy‚ announces

Both Judas and Peter betrayed Jesus‚ but in different ways. Peter betrayed Jesus by denying him three times. Peter was asked if he knew who Jesus was three times. All three times‚ Peter said he didn’t know who he was. Jesus said that Peter would deny him three times before a rooster crowed. When Peter denied Jesus three times and heard the rooster crow‚ he cried bitterly. Even though Peter told Jesus that he would never deny him‚ he did so anyway. Judas betrayed Jesus by being bribed with thirty

In the chapters 13 through 17 of John Jesus takes the foreshadowing of his impending sacrifice and uses it at “The Last Supper” to show his love through the washing of his disciples feet. Within the text‚ Jesus is explaining why he is giving up his life while not saying that he is doing such. Jesus explains in John (15:12-17) “This is my commandment: love one another as I love you. No one has greater love than this‚ to lay down ones’ life for one’s friends…..This I command you: Love one another”

My favorite bible verse is John 14:17 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. To me this reminds me that Jesus is my savior and I have the gift of sacrament and eternal life. This gives me peace and hope. In a world of bad news and stressful events he tells us to not be afraid‚ that he will take care of us ultimately. He tells us he does not give like the world; we cannot “earn his gifts”

of the Gospel Mark which we already studied in class. Matthew portrays Jesus very differently than Mark did. It starts off with how we learn about Jesus. In Mark’s Gospel‚ we first learn about Jesus with his baptism. However‚ with Matthew we start with the birth of Jesus. It talks about how Joseph is visited in a dream and told not to leave Mary for being pregnant. Then it talks about the three wise men visiting Herod and Jesus‚ and an angel telling Joseph to flee to Jerusalem. It then goes into Jesus’s
