“Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.” (1 Cor 15:12-20) This verse demonstrates …show more content…

I will then move the discussion to my initial perspectives on the death and resurrection of Jesus and how they have changed throughout this course.

The Story:
Jesus was known to travel and preach the message of hope to the masses. This angered the Roman rulers. They feared that Jesus was provoking unrest among the people and planning a revolution. Jesus was seen as a dangerous newcomer who had formed a cult. The Jewish leaders also feared Jesus as He challenged the traditional teachings. They sought grounds to kill Jesus however were unable to find useable proof. The leaders ended up convicting Jesus of blasphemy because Jesus claimed to be the Christ, the Son of God (Mt 26:57-67).

Jesus was conscious of the charges against Him by both political and religious authorities. He had predicted that He would be attacked and persecuted. In the Gospels there are occasions where Jesus’ predicts his own death and resurrection. In Matthew 16:21, Jesus had told His disciples that He would be killed and would rise again the third day. While in John 2:18-22, He predicted that the Jews would destroy His body, but He would rebuild it in three days, this was done with reference to the

  • Theological Interpretation Of Jesus Death

    556 Words  | 3 Pages

    The most relevant meaning of Jesus’ death in today’s context is best supported by the representative theory of soteriology, and in order to support that, an in-depth background of the theological and historical reasons of Jesus’ death must be understood. —— Jesus was put to death because he was a revolutionary, a possible Zealot, he used language of kingdoms, and his death was meant to scare other revolutionaries (notes 9/21). His language of kingdoms was interpreted by the Romans because he was not referring to an earthly kingdom, rather he meant the eschatological kingdom of God (notes 9/21). Any possible disruption to the Roman Empire was looked at very suspiciously, so the Romans worried Jesus would try to reestablish God’s kingdom by the ways the Zealots were trying to reestablish the Jewish government, by violent overthrow (9/21). Thus, Jesus was charged by the Romans with claiming to be a king, inciting people to a rebellion, and opposing due honor to Caesar (notes 9/21).
