Miracles Features Response The questions asked were “What is a marked feature about Jesus’ miracles at all stages of His ministry? What did the miracles of Jesus sometimes reveal about the disciples?” At first glance‚ my first thought was centered on one word “faith”. However‚ upon further investigation of the scriptures‚ it was revealed that out “of the 35 miracles recorded in the Gospel accounts the faith of the recipients is exercise in only 10 of the accounts” (Oppenheimer‚ 2009‚ p. 1). Those

Jesus was a Jew‚ believed by all Christians to be the son of God. However the Jewish religion does not recognize him as the son of God; why is that? The Jewish religion believes that Jesus was a prophet‚ but not the “Messiah” only because he did not fulfill the messianic prophecies‚ Jesus did not embody the personal qualifications of the Messiah‚ and the Biblical verses referring to Jesus were “ mistranslated”. What was the Messiah supposed to accomplish? Throughout the Old Testament of the Bible

In their book Lead Like Jesus Ken Blanchard & Phil Hodges encourage readers to ask themselves three key questions: 1) Am I a leader? (pg. 4) 2) Am I willing to follow Jesus as my leadership role model? (pg. 11) 3) How do I lead like Jesus? (pg. 19) The authors try to define who is a leader. They say “Leadership is a process of influence.

Another observation within this section is from Romans 12:14‚ “Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse”. Not only are believers not supposed to curse those who hurt them‚ they are supposed to bless those who hurt them. The interpretative question from this observation is‚ “How do believers bless those who have hurt them?” Praying for the hearts of our enemies to soften to the Lord‚ as well as‚ being kind to the enemies rather than repaying their actions are ways we can bless our enemies

God of reason and does nothing without a reason. Jesus was sent to earth by God for a reason‚ which He began and completed. A comprehension of this reason will help you to admire the happening to Christ and His main goal on earth. Also she will yield a Son‚ and you might call His name Jesus‚ for He will spare His kin from their wrongdoings." Matthew 1:21 (NKJV) Presently everything is of God‚ who has accommodated us to Himself through The Jesus Christ‚ and has provided for us the service of compromise

argues in his book “The King Jesus Gospel” that the true meaning of the gospel has become distorted by a culture that is focused on salvation rather than the gospel itself. Throughout the book‚ McKnight points out the discrepancy between a culture that is focused on salvation‚ and one that is focused on what McKnight defines as the true meaning of the gospel. McKnight defines the gospel as “the saving Story of Jesus completing Israel’s Story. . .” and argues that Jesus himself preached this gospel

Should the resurrection of Jesus be considered one of the "signs" of the Gospel? Why or why not? This by far is a very controversial debate and is tossed to and fro with the theological community. The Gospel of John does not state that the resurrection is a “sign” even though the event was miraculous in and of itself‚ there is no biblical evidence to back up the event as a sign. The purpose of the resurrection was not to prove that Christ was who He claimed to be rather it was necessary. A sign

As long as we are in these earthly bodies‚ we will be striving to be more like Jesus. We all want a certificate on the wall that says we have accomplished the goal‚ but as Paul says in Philippians 3:13-14‚ "I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what
