BIBL 102 New Testament Survey
19 February 2016
The life of Peter When looking at the life of Peter, it was easy to see that he was an imperfect man. Despite the imperfections that Peter carried, Jesus decided to love on him and mold Peter into who he was called to be anyways. When I think of Peter, the first story that I remember is the story where Peter walked on water and then ended up sinking. In this story, we see the story go through various stages. At the beginning, the disciples in the boat are fearful thinking that Jesus is a ghost. When Peter realizes that it is in fact Jesus, he builds up courage and says “Lord, if it’s really you, tell me to come to you, walking on the water.” When Peter starts

It is uncertain whether he was present at Pope Urban II's great sermon at Clermont in 1095; but it is certain that he was one of the preachers of the crusade in France after that sermon and his own experience may have helped to give fire to his eloquence. He soon leapt into fame as an emotional revivalist preacher: his very ass became an object of popular adoration; and thousands of peasants eagerly took the cross at his bidding. The crusade of the pauperes, which forms the first act in the first crusade, was his work; and he himself led one of the five sections of the

In this section of Matthew, Jesus, along with his disciples, get into a boat on the Sea of Galilee. Jesus tells the disciples to go along to the other side without Him, while he goes to pray on top of a mountain. At dawn they saw Jesus walking on water, and thought it was a ghost.

    2 Peter and Jude are books found near the end of the New Testament. The authors of these books are Simon Peter, the apostle, and Jude, the brother of James and the half-brother of Jesus. Jude was written in about A.D. 65, and 2 Peter around A.D. 67, both during the reign of Emperor Nero. They are often simple “grazed through” by believers because of their shortness in nature. However, an intricate study of these works beneath their surface reveals many hidden gems.
