Jesus In The Gospel Of John

373 Words2 Pages

In the Holy Christian Bible, reads a quote from Jesus Christ in the Gospel of John, chapter 14 verse 6 that says, “Jesus said, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” I have read this verse and been told this verse over and over ever since I was introduced to Christianity when I was younger. Overtime, I have determined that this biblical verse meant that their is no other way to achieve salvation, heaven, and the ultimate truth and relationship other than accepting Jesus Christ as one’s savior and following Him. This verse also suggests the fact that other people that believe in other religions cannot be saved from God, unless they turn from their “false idols” and turn their heads to the true,

  • Speaking Of Jesus Chapter 3 Summary

    In chapter 3 of Speaking of Jesus, Carl Medearis talks about what it means to own Christianity. He says "If we don't truly know what the gospel is, we have to find an explanation for Christianity." Meaning that if we do not know what the gospel is or what it is teaching us, then we try to define it by our own standards, and that is where it gets messy. Medearis talks about how Christianity is more than a religion, but it is a relationship and people tend to not understand that. He explains why people are so defensive and put up their guards towards Christians, because Christians can be so judgemental.

  • How Did Peter Write The Gospel Of John

    174 Words  | 1 Pages

    eyond being in the innermost circle of Jesus' disciples, John was not a particularly significant figure. However, the writing of the Gospel of John around 90 CE changed that. Whether John the Apostle actually wrote the Gospel of John is not clear, as many scholars argue on both sides of the issue, but its mention of the ''beloved disciple'' is usually identified with John the Apostle. Undoubtedly, this title and the disciple being depicted laying his head against Jesus in art, made John a popular figure and legendary disciple. In the Acts of the Apostles and Galatians, John is depicted alongside Peter as performing miracles, preaching the good news of Jesus, and even being a ''pillar'' of the church after Jesus' ascension.

Verse 19:8 shows that he is very confused of how this baby will be born as he is old and his wife is barren ‘He said, "My Lord, how will I have a boy when my wife has been barren and I have reached extreme old age?".

    Chapter 6 In John 6, it says that a big crowd of people was following Jesus because they witnessed the miracles that Jesus performed. (John 6:2) This was interesting to me because it is saying that the people followed because of the miraculous things that Jesus did, not necessarily because of the things that Jesus taught. Their attention was caught by the miracles of healing that Jesus did that they wanted to see more.

  • Jesus In The Context Of Matthew 7

    410 Words  | 2 Pages

    To fully understand why, readers must hear teaching of the standards Jesus states in his sermons such as the Sermon on the Mount. In Matthew 7 it talks about dogs and pigs and in the context of this passage, pigs are considered as very unclean animal and dogs are considered wild scavengers. Matthew 7:1-6 is often times taken out of context, mainly because verse 1 is being repeated by people without reading the five verses that follow. If you read verse 1 in isolation which says, “judge not, that you be not judged”, you can interpret it as not to judge anyone for the sin they are doing. For that reason, this can be known as the sinner’s favorite verse, and even professing Christians use it in their defense when sinning.

    One cathedral in Malta houses one of the most famous paintings of all time. It is the St. John’s Cathedral at Valletta and the painting was done by one Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio in 1608 as payment to the Pope for becoming a knight in Malta after being exiled from Rome (Stone 161). Surprisingly, it hangs on the oratory wall, the same spot where knighting and defrocking of the artist took place. No other work of art has ever had a more profound effect on me than the masterpiece, ‘The Beheading of John the Baptist’. Born in 1571 in Northern Italy, Caravaggio’s life was not devoid of controversy.
