Who is Jesus #2


1)Jesus is the savior that has been given to the world to show us the good that we can and should do. Although he is considered as perfect, he was not displayed as perfect in the gospels of the bible. He was human as we are, but provided us with the ultimate gift of forgiveness of our sins. Jesus is the one being that always will and always has had eternal love for all.

2)The savior for all of humanity.

3)Divine

4)

The study of the gospels of the New Testament in the Bible was an adventure for me. Reading over the gospels, and studying them in depth opened my eyes to the discrepancies in the bible. Not all of the parables and scriptures of Jesus were unique and written directly from experience; actually none of the gospels were written from a firsthand experience of Jesus. This truly made me question the truthfulness of each story, but also strengthened my belief in him being the savior of humanity (a prophet).

My faith in Jesus being my savior was strengthened because of my ability to question my beliefs. Now, when questions arise I am able to respond with a historically accurate response. Realizing that the life of Jesus was written many decades after his death, and continued to remain positive, is hard to grasp the difficulty of such a task. This depicts his greatness and influence on the people of that time.

Overall this course has had a major impact on many of my past views of Jesus. I have truly come to realize how amazing of an individual he was, and the extent of his actions. He was born like a prophet, preached like a prophet, performed miracles like a prophet, and died like a prophet. This overview from Luke was the main concept that had the most significant impression on me. It caused me to realize how inspirational of a man he was, and how big of an influence he is on the human race. He will never be forgotten, and is a continual influence on my life, and the actions I make daily.
