Blog: Portraits of Christ: John’s Gospel

10/20/2015

John’s Gospel opens with a fascinating prose prologue in chapter 1 that essentially summarizes the themes of the entire book. It introduces Jesus in a manner that emphasizes his deity, then John the Baptist who prepared the way for Jesus’ ministry, and finally, the spiritual essence of Jesus’ public ministry and outreach, and his ultimate rejection.

Blog: Portraits of Christ: Mark’s Gospel - Behold the Man

10/13/2015

Imagine that you are a Gentile, such as a Roman or Greek, and put yourself into a first-century pagan mindset. What would you think if you heard of a man who went around healing people? You would probably think that he was a god. What if you heard of a man driving out evil spirits and granting divine forgiveness of people’s sins? You would think he was some kind of god. If you heard of a man raising someone from the dead, you would surely think of him as a god. What if you heard of a man miraculously feeding a crowd, and controlling the weather by commanding a storm to stop? You would think he was a god.

Blog: Portraits of Christ: Luke’s Gospel, part 3

10/5/2015

What does it mean to you that Jesus was a man? We hear a lot about him being God (and later blog posts in this series will address that), but we don’t hear as much about his human side. Luke emphasizes this aspect of Jesus, and it’s important for understanding how we relate to him.

Blog: Past Grace

10/1/2015

Everyone has a past. Everyone has had a beginning. We all took those small steps to get to where we are today. Some have taken paths that were more rugged than others. Some have taken paths that have been slightly easier. We have all journeyed down this road called life. Many times there were forks in the road, and decisions had to be made, both good and bad. Some parts we do not want to tread again, some parts we wish we could walk once more.
