The gospel of Luke is a very interesting and intriguing presentation of the story of one of the most influential men on the planet. Luke presents Jesus in a way much different than any of the other gospels do‚ and because of this different presentation‚ we see a different side of Jesus than the previous gospels. Luke tells stories of what Jesus did‚ such as miracles and teachings‚ and also offers clue on to what the focus of Jesus ministry seemed to be. He also‚ as mentioned earlier‚ presents Jesus

Shelby Beam FDN111 Argumentative Essay October 29‚ 2014 Does Jesus Reject the Old Testament Law in The Sermon on the Mount? Jesus does not regret the Old Testament Law in the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus states in the Sermon on the Mount‚ that he did not come to abolish the law‚ but to fulfill it. Also‚ the law was meant to be interpreted differently in the New Testament because of Jesus. Even though at some points in the Sermon on the Mount Jesus rephrases the commandments‚ it does not mean that

The true essence of conflict is derived from the very thing we have no control over‚ what we fear. It often alters the way in which we act or manage situations and can provoke uneasiness. It is in these moments we’re fear tends to make or break us. Many of those who experience conflict often feel a sense of powerlessness and insecurity. In the text Cry freedom‚ conflict is the corner stone around which the text is moulded. Several factors can be labelled as a trigger for conflict‚ however

February 24th‚ 2011 The Last Days of Judas Iscariot Before seeing this play I did not know a lot about Judas. I only remembered that he was the one to betray Jesus from reading the Bible early on in my childhood for CCD. After seeing The Last Days of Judas Iscariot‚ it helped me better understand who Judas was and the kind of life he lived. I was not fully aware of his close relationship with Jesus. I simply understood that he was chosen as one of his twelve disciples. In the play it is

While there are some similarities between the plot of the film and the gospels‚ the persona of Jesus shown can be described as completely original.

In modern Christianity‚ Jesus is often portrayed as someone who stands apart from and above humanity. “The Last Temptation of Christ” instead entrenches

In the text it states‚ “Amen‚ I say to you‚ one of you will betray me‚ one who is eating with me” (Mark 14:18). Jesus knew that Judas was going to betray him‚ turn him over for money.

The fact that this divine human being did not spare his own life just amazed me. Not only was the fact that Jesus didn’t stop his betrayer odd‚ but
