These are the facts upon which even the greatest skeptic will agree. But there is so much more to Jesus than that. Where he came from, what he did on earth, what he can do for us now is all revealed in the Bible. This book contains the only record of Jesus and was written by the generation of people who heard him teach and saw his deeds.
Here is what the Bible teaches us about Jesus Christ:. He created the world and all that is in it John The religious leaders of his time understood that Jesus claimed to be God John Paul wrote that when Jesus died, the Father revealed to the entire world that He was God Philippians John ESV.
The eternal Son of God already existed in heaven John Through the power of the Holy Spirit Matthew , He was born as a human being, who was then named Jesus Matthew To demonstrate that Jesus was not a mere man Colossians , God chose a virgin to give birth to Him Luke Clark's fourth album goes right through the emotional wringer: one song, Psychopath, is about a date she once had with someone who is now a friend; other titles include Regret, Severed Crossed Fingers, Bring Me Your Loves and Every Tear Disappears.
In person, though, she is less agonised than ethereal and sprite-like last week, the online teen magazine Rookie posted a charming video of her showing off her mean soccer skills. As she polishes off a plate of eggs and spinach, Clark, who lives in the East Village, says that she has just arrived home from Christmas with her family in Texas.
While Texas was a conservative place to grow up in, her family is not, "although being a freak in Texas is more difficult than being a freak in New York City where everyone is. I cultivated an inner world and a real obsession with music because when you're young that's your armour, how you form your identity. Clark's mother is a social worker turned administrator for a non-profit organisation and her stepfather "works in the tax business".
Her natural father lives in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and after her mother separated from him, she moved to Texas when Clark, the youngest of three girls, was seven. One way or another you feel abandoned. At school, Clark admits people may have found her "a little odd", but that she was not "a figure of derision.
I was always trying to get my sister to do fun, mischievous adventures, like to tip over the porta-potties portable lavatories at school or steal candy". She liked drawing and at five made her first guitar from cardboard and rubber bands. She made up songs and listened to classic rock and Led Zeppelin.
Music "obsessed" her. It wasn't like I had a drug problem. They saw I was pretty obsessive. My mum's brother was a musician. They saw I had a proclivity for music, and wanted to show me the realities of life on the road, so they sent me on tour with my uncle.
Clark was 16 and her uncle was Tuck Andress one half of the jazz duo Tuck and Patti , "a mythical figure" when she was young. On tour, her job was "to test the voltage of every outlet on stage so the gear didn't explode and that there were fresh flowers on stage and in the dressing rooms".
She went to Japan and Europe. I wanted to cultivate my own instincts and write my own music, be my own front-person, rather than trying to be the best session guitarist in Los Angeles, which was what the school was trying to push me towards.
God accepted her prayer but did not give her what she wanted. Instead, he gave her Mary, who would be the mother of Jesus. In Islam, the birth of Jesus is considered miraculous and the only such example in human history.
Because of this divine revelation, some Muslim theologians consider her a prophet of God. The Prophet of Islam describes her as the highest woman in paradise, literally the master of the women of paradise. The term can be translated as the Anointed One. The root of the word has something to do with touching: mash means to touch.
Al-Masih also refers to the eschatological purpose of Jesus, his coming at the end of time. By understanding who Jesus is in Islam, Christians might find common ground with Muslims. Is there a place for the Holy Spirit in Islam? Muslim commentators are split on the meaning of Holy Spirit. Some have said that it refers to the angel Gabriel. In this reading, God supported Jesus with the power of the gospel. Another group of early scholars understood it as the greatest divine name through which Jesus was able to bring the dead to life.
Differences should be occasions for, not obstacles to, dialogue. Different interpretations of the same events and figures can be found within all religions.
Theologically speaking, according to Islam, Jesus always speaks the truth. The problem is not about what Jesus said, but about our understanding of what Jesus said. You have the words that give eternal life. Scripture tells us in Luke that an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus and asked Him what he must do to inherit eternal life.
How do you read it? Scripture is our sole authority today. Jesus was well aware of the woman who had been hemorrhaging for 12 long years and had spent every last cent she owned trying to get well, but only got worse. He knew she was desperate to be healed. He knew what she risked by going out in public and touching a Rabbi, which would, under Jewish law, make Him ceremoniously unclean. Jesus asked the question because He wanted her to speak up.
He wanted her story to be told. Has He forgiven you and given you a new lease on life? Then tell your story so God will be glorified. Jesus asked this of Peter, not once, but three times, after his disciple—who claimed to be the most loyal of the bunch—had three times publicly denied knowing Jesus on the night of his arrest and crucifixion.
Jesus asked this question three times as a gift to Peter. He giving him the chance to three times reaffirm his love for his Lord, after having blown it a few days earlier. John Have you blown it with Christ, too? Him or our money? Him or another love? Do you love Me? How I long for my answer to be: Yes, Lord, more than anything.
