people around were amazed with the wisdom of this young child. When Marry and Joseph found him marry asked why he had not went with them and how worried they had been when they could not find him. Jesus replied with how you could not know that I would be in my father’s house. He then returned with then back to Nazareth. There are also small bits of information that tell us that Jesus worked with his father as a carpenter. He would have also attended school in a new by town.
Enter here Jesus would start off his ministry when he was about thirty years old. He started off his ministry by making trips to nearby villages and he made disciples. These were not rich men or extremely high up men. They were made up of fishermen, students, tax collector, and others. Jesus had twelve disciples and these twelve men would become

He would go to unbelievers and people like prostitute and wicked people and tell them Gods word. He understood that everyone needed to hear the word and especially the ones that were sinning and not repenting. Jesus traveled telling parables and preforming miracle. Jesus would heal sick people, restoring there vision or ability to walk and healed them from sickness witch made his fallowing grow. Jesus gave a sermon where he talked about love, humanity, and compassion to a large number of people and this is called the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus went around teaching about the kingdom of God and was fulfilling prophecies of the Old Testament. This was making so of the high Jewish leaders very upset and they began to conspire against him. Jesus took three of his disciples on to a large mountain to pry. While they were on the mountain Jesus became transfigured and was joined by the prophets Elijah and Moses and a voice spoke to them proclaiming that Jesus was the song of God. This is a pivotal moment because it supports that Jesus is really the son of
• Jesus is an unavoidable and deeply mysterious figure. We do not know as much about Him as we would like to know. This can make it difficult to grasp what Jesus was about. People found him confusing in His own day and the same is true today. • One major reason we have trouble understanding Jesus is that His world is strange and, to many Westerners, foreign.
When traveling across the ocean he decided to ration their food to ensure they would not run out and that everyone would survive. He even would eat less to conserve more food. He also persuaded his men to trust the Native Americans when they were near death. His
Ultimately however, each of the 10 disciples gradually come to accept him as a prophet over the course of the film. Admittedly my understanding of Jesus and his followers is very limited and vague, but my understanding seems to align fairly well with that of the film. The twelve apostles were called upon by Jesus and all left their respective live in order to answer the call, with John the Baptist beginning to follow Jesus after Jesus’ baptism. This aspect definitely aligns with the opening scene of the film with all of the
He would help work the farm with his father everyday. As he got older, he became a teacher to slaves. He wanted them to know how to live freely on their own. He taught them things like reading, practicing Christianity, and any other thing they would need to know. Sadly, the
Bilhartz did well in explaining the setting in which Jesus was born into. What I found intriguing was the different classes of Jews of that time. There were those who opposed Hasmonean rulers, foreign expansion, and rule by aristocrats known as the Pharisees, which is derived from a Hebrew word meaning "the separated". Then there were those in favor of foreign expansion and Hasmonean rulers known as the Sadducees (Bilhartz, 2006, p. 56). Differences between the two groups were apparent in their religious beliefs, political views, and social class.
He proclaimed that some of his followers saw Christ in him, a hope of glory. He persuaded people to join his cult by appealing to several social and religious

“Galilee which was at that time under Herod Antipas” (Attridge). When Jesus was born, Herod Antipas’s father, Herod the Great was threatened by the birth of a “new king”, and ordered all the newborn babies in the land to be killed so Jesus’s family fled. When Herod the Great died, Jesus’ parents, Joseph and Mary, brought the family back to Galilee. Upon growing up, Jesus gathered twelve close followers called disciples to travel with him. While traveling, He performed many supernatural tasks called miracles.
He changed it educationally, and he helped spread Christianity. He fearlessly conquered many nations and places. He governed over them well and tried his best to educate them and make them smarter. He was an amazing leader and a good example to his people. He was not like a lot of other conquerors who just ruthlessly conquered for power.
Jesus extended compassion and love to those around
Lord Teach Me to Pray #6 Kingdom-Focused Prayer Text-Micah 4:1-5 Introduction-: In Philip Yancey’s book The Jesus I Never Knew he talks about how we live on Saturday, the day with no name: The other two days have earned names on the church calendar: Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Yet in a real sense we live on Saturday, the day with no name. What the disciples experienced in small scale—three days in grief over one man who had died on a cross—we now live through on cosmic scale.
Matthew and Luke were both evangelists. They both helped to spread the Gospel, the good news of Jesus. Their telling of the Gospel is very similar, yet very different at the same time. They are similar because they both tell the same story.
It helps us to understand the position of both Jesus and his parents. In modern society, if we were in Mary and Joseph’s position we would be extremely concerned for the safety of our child. But as Jesus, and children, we have the amazing ability to adapt to situations with ‘not a care in the world’ because we are intrigued by the new experiences but we also feel warmth, especially within the church, as if everyone belongs and is loved in God’s eyes.
In the Gospel of Mark, Jesus Christ tries to omit the witnessed accounts in raising the dead but in the Gospel of John; he exposes his true power for the masses to recognize. Turning water into wine is another example of Jesus exposing his true self in public. The last passage that 's shows Jesus knows his position in the work of God is John 8:15-17 "You judge by human standards; I judge no one. Yet even if I do judge, my judgment is valid; for it is not I alone who judge, but I and the Father who sent me." The cleansing of the temple passage also shows God is his father and Jesus will do anything in his power to protect the family.
