Caesarea Philippi's Crucifixion

1490 Words6 Pages

As acknowledged the area of Caesarea Philippi swarmed with pagan temples and was legendary for idolatry; where the cult of Pan/Satan thrived in a territory that was overflowing with pagan factions and was like the ‘red-light’ district of the adjacent area. It was said that generally Jewish people stayed clear of this area due to its reputation. Therefore, it is quite fascinating why just one week or so before Jesus Christ final journey to Jerusalem to undergo His crucifixion, Jesus takes His disciples to this pagan locality that would have taken 2 days walking (32 + miles). Due to the fact that this area was well-established with paganism, the reason Jesus traveled to such an undesirable region certainly must have been extremely important …show more content…

Folks can only speculate why Jesus continued to stay near Caesarea Philippi for so long in such a satanic region, unless Jesus could have been doing direct warfare with Satan/Pan and undertaking events that was preparing him for the ‘spiritual warfare’ of all time; His Crucifixion and Resurrection. An incredibility powerful time! The importance of this event in Caesarea Philippi is monumental and a heroic episode of how Jesus Christ directly challenged the ‘sexual lust’ of Satan that had been created since the foundation of this world. Again, this confrontation in the Gospels, could demonstrate how our Divine God sent His son to compellingly claim back humanity’s truth concerning our blissful sexual presence with God and to reveal how holy and sacred people’s sexual essence …show more content…

Notably, this decree is in addition to believing on Him, for He decidedly separates the two announcements. My point being, as Paul said, we become new creatures, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” (2 Col 5:17). This declaration can be understandable, when we recognize how this world is full of ignorant creatures; which can be directed by an unseen force of aggression at any time. (John 8:44). By becoming born again of Christ’s spirit, people are delivered from Satan’s beastly lies concerning this life into the divine spirit of God’s Eternal Truths. Only the “infilling of the LORD’S Holy Spirit” can sustain any of us; by being born into Christ consciousness that becomes one’s haven of strength and protection. If we compare our worldly society before and after Jesus’ presence on earth, there is a remarkable transformation of humanity’s consciousness forward; an obvious major ‘spiritual’ evolution and sexual revolution for Christian believers and a betterment of the world to come. Jesus Christ’s appearance into Satan’s wicked terrain produced a light that caught fire, spreading God’s eternal love forever; among many things,

    Apostle John makes it clear that one must be born again (1Joh 5:1). To know God is to know Him as Father as it is written in 1Joh 3:1 and Joh 1:12. We are His children and as His children, we receive special privileges and rights to be called the Sons of God. It is by His power and from His love that we were adopted into His family. It is by God’s love that we were drawn to Him.

It was known that Christ went into the wild with, “insufficient provisions, and lacked certain pieces of equipment deemed essential”, he was unprepared and when Gallien offered him to buy some equipment he should have bought before coming out here, he simply said, “No thanks... I’ll be fine with what I’ve got”, he denied equipment that is essential for surviving in that type of wilderness for so long. Like Callarman said, Chris was smart, but he was also ignorant. He was smart enough to know that he could have used other type of equipment that could have helped him, but because he was so sure he would get through anything that came his way, he didn’t take it.

His entire life is devoted to spreading the word of God, and he is ultimately crucified so that all have the opportunity to live in the Kingdom of God. Throughout the Gospels, Jesus is constantly giving thanks to the Lord and reminding those around him that the miracles that are being performed are done so out of God’s grace.

    Jesus of Nazareth was ultimately murdered by Roman soldiers at the hands of his own people, the Jews. Roman culture did not value his teaching and preferred power and strength over humility. This Biblical era was known to be brutal with beatings and excruciating punishment while Jerusalem was under Roman rule. “Matthew 27” tells of the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth, executed by the Roman soldiers. The text says, “And they stripped him and put a red mantle about, and wove a wreath of thorns and out it on his head, and put a red in his right hand, and knelt before him and mocked him saying: Hail King of the Jews” (The Christian Bible 30).

    Charism plays an important role in both the communal and individual life of a believer. Here Menzies is in agreement that “the rich variety of gifts granted to every believer for the common good appear to be a natural extension of Paul’s larger pnuematological perspective”(Fee, 192). The significant thing to note though is that for Paul the Holy Spirit’s work in our lives is connected to our participation in the body of Christ. As we walk in the Spirit, He produces fruit in our lives. The fruit of the Spirit in our lives is not just individualistic and for personal benefit but for corporate benefit of the body of

Through this introduction, John was introducing Jesus as God come to earth. Yet even verse fourteen gets more to the point by stating, “So the Word became human and made his home among us” (John 1:14). John is stating that God put on flesh. However, there was the teaching Gnosticism that was making its way through the early church, in which believed that Jesus was not fully God and fully man.
