451 Words2 Pages

Throughout the book of Matthew you can read many sermons that tell of Jesus ' life. There are also many parables that portray many important occurrences in our day to day lives. Matthew 24:45-51 explains how Jesus was preparing His disciples to live a faithful life until he returns again. Matthew 24-25 has many concerns about Jesus and his disciple. Matthew 24:24-51 is the main passage of scripture that includes the importance of always being faithful. When we read these seven verses and the passages of scripture in the before and after verses, we see how Jesus is preparing his disciples, including us, for the future.

In the first few verses of Matthew 24:45-51 Jesus tells his disciples a story about how remaining faithful until the very end …show more content…

In Matthew 24:36-44 Jesus talks about the end time and when he will come again. He shares about how now one knows when Jesus is coming not even the angels or Jesus himself. Only God knows. Matthew 25:1-13 is a parable of the ten virgins. This parable tells the story of ten virgins, five who are ready with lamps and five who are not ready. This is portraying the way that some people are ready for God to come at any minute and how other people are not ready at all.
These stories all tie together. They all equally share the importance of following God and trusting in him even when the date and time final destination is unclear.

Throughout all three of these stories we see the importance of being faithful to Jesus. All three stories are great reminders of the way we should be living our lives. Remaining faithful to God can be very simple as long as you remain in communication with him. Constant prayer and reading the Bible can help you maintain faithful. We should live our lives in constant awareness that Jesus could come back to earth at any moment. We should always be fully prepared for time that he returns. I pray that we all will live our lives

    In part six, I thought there was a lot of good information spread out in all of the chapters. The biggest thing that stood out to me were in chapter 25. I enjoyed the first sections that were expressed. I enjoyed the idea about how Jesus recruits heroes to join him in critiquing theocapitalism. I think this means that he reaches out to people who are going to attempt to make the kingdom grow.

    The 10 disciples came from all aspects of society ranging from a ballet dancer to a taxi driver, to a model; but each of the disciples found common ground by the end of the first song (“Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord”) under the teachings of Jesus. By having a diverse group of followers, Schwartz/Tebleak express the notion that anyone with an open mind to Christianity can be attracted to Jesus and similarly that anyone can spread the word of Christianity. Once again, this reinforces the subject matter present in the play, a performance expressing a modern view of the teaching of Christ. As in real life, not all of the characters immediately accept Jesus as a teacher. While subtle, some of the characters show signs of resistance to Jesus’ teachings, such as John the Baptist when attempting to learn the lesson of forgiving one’s enemies.

His views on the Rapture were “There were many Christians who believe that the second coming of Jesus Christ will be in two phases. First he will come for the believers, both living and dead, in the “rapture”; read 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17. In this view, the rapture which is the transformation and catching up of all Christians dead or alive, to meet Christ in the air, will be secret for it will be unknown to the world of unbelievers at the time of its happening.” He says that after the thousands years living unbelievers and the wicked dead now raised to life will be judged at the great white throne judgement.

    Langston Hughes used rhetoric words in his story “Salvation,” to provide foreshadows, and emotional appeals to his struggles in becoming religiously saved. Hughes began his story by stating “I was saved from sin when I was going on thirteen (179).” The irony in this opening is that Hughes initially believed in the presence of Jesus, but unexpected pressures pushed him to betray and deceive his faith. The setting of Hughes struggles took place in a religious ceremony in his Auntie Reed’s church. In this service, many young children like Hughes were gathered to be spiritually cleansed by the light of Jesus.

  • An Analysis Of Pedro Arrupe's Speech 'Men And Women For Others'

    387 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the mandate given by Jesus in Matthew 25, God is seated on his throne, separating those who he deems worthy for heaven and those who deserve hell in eternity. He tells the righteous that since they helped those in need, they would inherit the Kingdom of God, as they inadvertently were helping God himself. He then proceeds to explain that the people who ignored those in need, were unfit for heaven as they refused to help God, denying both solidarity and kinship. Matthew 25 parallels the point Pedro Arrupe tried to exhibit through his speech in 1973, "Men & Women for Others", which he gave to wealthy, powerful Jesuit alumni. In his speech, Arrupe explains how they should actively help those in need fighting against taking advantage of the poor and unjust laws.

  • Theme Of Piety In The Aeneid

    1205 Words  | 5 Pages

    Much like how Aeneas put his life in danger to protect his city and rescue his family from Troy, Jesus teaches self-sacrifice, and one’s commitment to their family however, he reinterprets the definition of family and society. Jesus declares: “Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me………..and whoever does not take up the cross and follow me is not worthy of me” (Matthew 10: 37-38). Jesus redefines family to be his disciples that devote their entire lives to God. He refines the ideas of society through the Beatitudes by proclaiming the “blessed” which is the model discipleship. The Beatitudes are part of Jesus’ teachings on paving a path to Heaven through selfless acts and compassion; he quotes: “let your light shine before other, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your father in heaven” (Matthew 5:

  • The Bible: A Critical Analysis Of The Four Gospels

    2090 Words  | 9 Pages

    The word “critical” often conjures the incorrect image of negativity. If the Four Gospels are to be analysed critically would this study find loopholes only? This need not be the case, as the Four Gospels, and the Bible as a whole, has withstood the test of time. As a stand-alone text, the Bible has proven its accuracy in its portrayal of events, its authorship, and its date of writing. Though scholars have tried to use both textual and literary criticism to discredit the Four Gospels, there are an equal number of scholars, using these same tools, who have proved that the Four Gospels have an accurate portrayal of events.
