Could you imagine someone living their life perfectly and then dying for you because how much they love you? In the bible, Paul wrote, “God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us (NIV, Romans 5:8).” Jesus had lived a perfect life, committing no sin and doing nothing wrong. Not only was he perfect but he had committed many miracles while living here on earth. Just a couple of miracles he presented are; turning water into wine, calming the storm in the sea and feeding 4,000 with 7 loaves of bread and a few fish. When he turned water into wine, he was at a wedding and they had ran out of wine, he told the servants to fill the jars up with water and when they took the wine to the master of the banquet, the …show more content…
The life and the teachings of Jesus Christ are the motivations for christians. He was not selfish at all, he would always put others before himself. For instance Jesus had washed his disciples feet in John 13-14. Simon Peter did not want Jesus to wash his feet because he knew Jesus is Lord, he thought that he should be washing Jesus’ feet, not the other way around. Once he finished washing all their feet he said “Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet (John 13:14).” This did not literally mean for them all to wash each others feet but instead it was comparing washing of feet to forgiving and baptising others as Christ has. Jesus said “Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many (NIV, Matthew 20:28).” He was not put on earth to be served by us, but to serve his God and set an example for all of the …show more content…
He had committed no sins while he was here on earth and yet he died the death of a murderer and robber. The Romans had took Jesus to Pilate to put him to death. When they went to Pilate, he could not find anything wrong with Jesus to crucify him, Pilate asked the crowd who should be released; Jesus, the perfect man that committed no sins or Barabbas, the murderer and robber. All the crowd said “Release Barabbas!” and Pilate asked the crowd what should happen to Jesus and they had all yelled “Crucify him!”. Then he handed over Barabbas and sent Jesus to be crucified and flogged. Flogging is to beat someone with a whip or stick as punishment or torture. Crucifixion is the execution of a person by nailing or binding them to a
Pilate, finding no fault, desired to set Jesus free, but the Jews called out to crucify Him. To pacify the Jews, he released Barabbas unto them and gave them Jesus to be crucified. See Luke 23:6-12. Mark 15:21-22 “
Freedom of poverty and individual rights ultimately what Mexican-American cultures strive to obtain in earlier times, according to Viramontes. Although this contains accuracy to an extent, today’s Hispanic American culture fight against stereotypes and hidden oppression of full individual rights. Remedification of potential and hard work is dismissed in this novel, due to Mexican-American’s job status and minimal education. This oppression often leaves Mexican-Americans to keep living in this lifestyle, obvlious to keep working and hopefully achieve grounds to move out of poverty. In the novel, Under the Feet of Jesus, Helena Maria Viramontes emphasizes the physical labor Estrella and her family go through, and how this work reshapes their
Some people did not understand why and how people they loved were dying, so they thought it was God punishing them for disobeying him. People believed that He was punishing them for greed, blasphemy,
Pilate's role in the trial and crucifixion of Jesus is recorded in the New Testament of the Bible. According to the gospel accounts, Jesus was brought before Pilate on charges of claiming to be the King of the Jews. Pilate, who found no fault in Jesus,
“Love your neighbor as yourself.” This command, given by Jesus’ in Mark 12:31, tells everybody love others just as much as themselves. David Malter, a very Christ-like character from The Chosen, by Chaim Potok, puts this command into practice. He exemplifies many of Jesus’ most valuable character-traits. Although Mr. Malter does not believe that Jesus is the Messiah, he still follows many of his commands without even knowing it.
Seemingly, both men are simply following the wishes of the divine. Jesus has been sent down to Earth by the Lord to “save his people from their sins” [Matthew 1: 21]. 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 extended compassion and love to those around
In the distance I could see that it was He Himself who the crowd was after. He had a crown of thorns on His head, and a cross upon His fragile back. The blood dripped from His body, but none of the ones screaming at Him or spitting on Him seemed to care. They wanted Him dead. I cried out loud, and didn't want to see anymore, but God told me to look at the proof that I wanted to see.
Compassion plays an important role in our daily lives. It allows us to show love to others through acts of kindness. Anyone can demonstrate compassion, but true Christians show it the best. Mark 6:34 says, “When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.”
The Misfit thinks he is like Jesus his” punishment did not fit
Each of these Jewish sects was responsible for stirring up the multitude against Jesus until He was condemned to death on the
He is a perfect example of God not only forgiving anyone no matter how far gone you are through Jesus’ blood, but also shows us that God can use literally anybody, even a fisherman, to make a difference in the world. 2 We see Peter in Luke 22, denying to know and be a follower of Jesus, whom loved Him very much, and considered Him like a brother. Yes, while this is a tragic mistake, everything happens for a reason and Jesus even predicted this. By Jesus being rejected on this night, we can identify with Jesus having the spirit of rejection, as so many times we often feel.
The people hated Him so much that he was chosen to be crucified over a murderer named Barabbas. They would rather have this wicked man walking around the streets than someone who would claim to be the King of the Jews. Prior to Jesus hanging on the cross, He was beaten to a state where some believe you would not be able to recognize who He was. Then He carried His cross to Golgotha where crucifixions take place. There were two others that were being crucified right by Him.
Although Jesus speaks of “an hour [that] is coming, and is now”, Jesus’s words to the woman are in light of the past, the Old Testament. Jesus is referring to the Old Testament Messianic prophecies, and He is confirming His fulfilment, and even His transcending, of these prophesies. When the woman tries to divert the conversation to the concern of the two different places of worship, Jesus tells her “an hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father…an hour is coming, and is now, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth” (Jn 4:21-23). Jesus is alluding to Isaiah 2:2 as well as Micah 4:1, “the mountain of the house of the Lord will be established as the chief of the mountains, and will be raised
