What Jesus means to me Jesus has transformed the lives of many‚ including me. To some people‚ he is a story‚ just a legend. But to me‚ he is a King‚ a Savior‚ but most of all‚ he’s my best friend. I’ve heard people talk about Jesus like he’s some kind of made up story‚ or even a joke. Also‚ a name to say when they slam their thumb in the door. They don’t seem to realize that he’s as real as the person sitting right next to you. I can talk to him‚ explain my day‚ and you know what’s great? He’s

does Joshua prove the difficulty in living a true Christian life in the present? At first‚ I would like to point out that it is quite obvious that Joshua is in fact the 20th century version of Jesus Christ. It is most obvious from early on‚ when he first introduces himself as a carpenter. Next‚ he heals that little girl‚ and then walks through town with that large log on his shoulder‚ which I guess could be symbolic of the cross Jesus carried. Then there was the man who came to help Joshua‚ but

people because of the miracles he performed e.g. healing of the lame man‚ turning water into wine. The Jewish leaders hated Jesus and despised his claim to be the son of God. They felt threatened because of Jesus’ popularity with the people. He often criticised them and made them feel stupid. “Woe to you‚ teachers of the law and Pharisees‚ you hypocrites!” (Matthew23:27) Jesus spent time with people who were social outcasts e.g. lepers. He also had a lot of respect for women which was unusual at the

That particular service the Lords Table was being observed. Before this point in my life‚ I had always claimed to be a Christian based on my church attendance‚ good behavior‚ and that fact that I just didn’t want to go to Hell.

I understood that it was only through Jesus Christ that I could get to heaven‚ and it was in Him that I placed my faith. He took

It is not surprising that people have always asked questions about what‚ if anything‚ happens after they die. Although some people claim to have had ‘near-death experiences’ (NDEs)‚ and others claim

On the one hand‚ to some people‚ life is hard‚ cruel and merciless. On the other hand‚ there are those who see life as a challenge‚ a channel of discovery and innovation. Life is beautiful and I think that each day is a new opportunity to progress‚ to have new ideas and to do things better than the
