Paschal Mystery Analysis
In an Angelus addressed to the people of Australia, Pope John Paul II touches on the Paschal Mystery's very meaning, saying, "We are aware of...sin...But...Jesus...passed through pain...to... Resurrection (Angelus 3). This one quote can help us to provide a common definition of the Paschal Mystery that is, simultaneously, ambiguous and open to interpretation. The Paschal Mystery simply refers to three of most important aspects to surround Jesus's life on earth: His Birth/Creation, His Death/Suffering, and His Resurrection/Rebirth. It makes the claim that in the very beginning, God created humanity and all other aspects of creation for one purpose: to make the glory of His name known ("Isaiah 43:7"). Since God is the very definition of love

    4 Mat Review Entwistle

    Entwistle examines different worldviews as they pertain to both disciplines. Worldviews are defined within the text as, “a set of presuppositions, which we hold consciously or subconsciously, consistently or inconsistently about the basic make-ups of the world” (Entwistle, 2010). Every worldview is different; it is created basically off of your life experiences along with your beliefs. Four themes were discussed in the text. The four themes, creation, fall, redemption and consummation were said to enhance the Christian worldview (Entwistle, 2010). Creation explains what it means to be humans and the world that we exist in. The fall describes the first human beings rebellion against God and the division it created. Redemption tells of our gift of forgiveness of our sins and justification from God through his son Christ. Consummation connects all three themes and is the “starting point for integration” (Entwistle, 2010).…

    The Eight Miracle Signs in John

    Jesus performed eight particular miracles in the Gospel of John that revealed His deity. These miracles are unique to study because they all serve towards showing us that Jesus is Divine. They also show different aspects of Jesus’ divinity. Seemingly these miracles were purposeful in their intent towards showing those present with Jesus, and millions that have followed, aspects of Jesus’ power and mission. These miracles serve as a witness to all of us of Jesus’ authority. They also provide comfort when we reflect on the fact that nature, spirit and life all are in His control and hand.…

    The Seven Signs And The Seven Discourses In The Gospel Of John

    The Gospel of John’s main theme is to show people ultimately Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God and everyone that believes in Him will have everlasting life. John 3: 16 “For God so love the world He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believed on Him shall have everlasting life”. John 20: 31, "Jesus performed miraculous signs before his disciples, which are not all recorded in this book. "The scripture is written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name." Culpeper lists eight miracles in the Gospel of John of which six are found only in the gospel of John. Culpeper emphasizes the uniqueness of the gospel of John; John does not list the genealogy, birth,…

    Surprised by Hope (Analysis/Refection)

    The book Surprised by Hope was written by N.T. Wright. The author N.T. Wright is a prominent New Testament scholar and a Bishop of Durham in the Church of England. Wright shares many conservative Christian views and is the author to several Christian books dealing with Jesus, death, and the resurrection. In this book, Surprised by Hope, N.T. Wright address two main questions: what is the ultimate Christian hope, and what hope is there for the change, transformation, and new possibilities within the world today. The purpose to writing this book to is help his readers gain a better understanding of death, the resurrection and life beyond. As some great philosophers say: it is what you think about death, and the life beyond it; this is the key to thinking seriously about everything else. Some important topics in Wright’s book are the death and resurrection, the importance of Christ’s ascension and return, the relationship between creation and redemption, and the present Kingdom of God and how we are supposed to live in his kingdom.

    Who Can We Trust Analysis

    It seems as though many religions make us feel like we should focus on God as something unfathomable and what Williams calls a “completely alien intelligence”. We aren’t supposed to understand him, so we instead focus on what separates us, instead of the relationship that it creates. Unfortunately this doesn’t build trust between us and our Creator. Williams tells us that there are many reasons to trust God, but specifically two reasons. One is the fact that he gave us Jesus up as a sacrifice and to live on this earth. He shows us through his Son that he made it possible to see that God isn’t hiding anything form us, his purpose is unselfish love. Williams says on page 10, “At the heart of the desperate suffering there is in the world, suffering we can do nothing to resolve or remove for good. There is an indestructible energy making of for love. If we have grasped what Jesus is about, we can trust that this is what lies at the foundation of everything”. The second part is that God is complete fullness. He makes the point that anything we do will not make God love us, no amount of good or bad will change his mind or his love. God doesn’t forgive us because we’re good, but we’re good because he forgives…

    Christianity Dot Points

    Christians have traditionally believed that Jesus died for our sins and this belief has given rise to some questionable explanations like the idea that God would be appeased with the execution of an innocent person. Other questionable inferences include the idea that Jesus became human simply for him to be sacrificed because he is the only person of sufficient value to pay a ransom to God or Satan. More adequate reflections on the death of Jesus highlight the notion that death is an integral part of the human condition and one which is shared by Jesus. Other ways of appreciating the importance of the death of Jesus include…

    The Gospel Of John Analysis

    For instance, Jesus explains to his disciples that he is the way, the truth, and the life and only through him will they have access to the father (14: 6-7). He’s pointing out that the father and him are connected, but he wants them to understand that they are connected as one. Leaving peace with them he encourage them to rejoice and be glad with him for he is going to the Father (John 14: 27-28, 15: 5-7). The portrayal of Jesus in this episode is more joyful than the Jesus at Gethsemane. Comparatively, in the gospel of John the writer presents the Passover with a commencement of cleansing to demonstrate Jesus’ love for his disciples by performing the work of the lowest of men (John 13: 5-17). Jesus states that this act of love allows the disciples to have access to an inheritance in him (John 13:8). The inheritance spoken of is not of earthly manner, but that of the purpose of Jesus’ coming. It is because of love, and the redemption of mankind that he came (John 1:29, John 3:16). Through his crucifixion he proclaims the scripture greater love than this, but for a man to lay down his life for his friend (John 15:13). As a result mankind will be restored unto Jesus himself, providing access to an inheritance of eternal…
