Recommended: The significance of the miracles in the ministry of Jesus

Jesus: A Wise Teacher, Leader, And Miracle Worker. If one is to learn about the life and teachings of Jesus one must first understand not only what he taught but also the meaning behind his teachings. Jesus was an incredible person, whether you might believe in his miracles or not, there is no denying that his teachings transcend the very concept of what one may believe. There are many ways that Jesus and his teachings, that are represented in the bible, reveal the kingdom of God, but there are three main ways that we can distinctly separate them out. These three separations being, Jesus Christ acting as a leader, teacher, and miracle worker, revealed the kingdom of God. First we will be talking about how Jesus is represented a leader …show more content…

During his life Jesus performed many miracles that would have been thought impossible if performed by anyone else. One example of a miracle that he performed would be the healing of two blind men in Nazareth. When healing them he said that according to the strength of their faith, they will be healed (Mt 9:27-31). Even though Jesus asked them to tell no one about what he did to help them, the two men went out and spread word of him. Another miracle that Jesus performed would be the healing of a mute person. It is told that Jesus had encountered someone who was possessed by a demon and this demon made the person who it was inhabiting mute. When Jesus forced out this demon the mute person could speak (Mt 9:32-33). These situations are rather self explanatory, because jesus is the son of God and the messiah so therefore he was able to perform miracles like this. No matter how ridiculous it may sound, it’s true and is backed up by contextual evidence and eyewitness accounts. These examples support how Jesus was a miracle worker and this fact revealed the kingdom of God because it made concrete to the non-believers and the believers that Jesus was infact the messiah. Furthermore this made the people more open to be more understanding when eventually the kingdom of God was revealed to

  • The Challenge Of Jesus Summary

    542 Words  | 2 Pages

    N.T. Wright: During my first semester at Northwestern College, I was assigned the book, “The Challenge of Jesus” by N.T. Wright for one of my Biblical Studies courses. This book and every other book Tom Wright has written has dramatically impacted my Christian faith. Dr. Wright has not only defended the basic tenants of the Christian faith, but also has shown how an academically-minded pastor ought to love and care for his or her congregants. N.T. Wright was previously the Bishop of Durham and pastored some of the poorest in the United Kingdom. His pastoral ministry has helped shape his understanding of God’s kingdom-vision which he is diagramming within his magnum opus “Christian Origins and the Question of God”. This series has instructed myself and countless other pastors to be for God’s kingdom as we eagerly await Christ’s return. Additionally, I have had the privilege of meeting with N.T. Wright one-on-one on numerous occasions to discuss faith, the Church, and his research. I firmly believe Tom Wright is the greatest New Testament scholar of our generation and he is the primary reason why I feel called into ministry.

    The life of Jesus is told in the four gospels of the Bible, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. They speak of His virgin birth, His ministry and miracles, His death, and His resurrection. Jesus was born into humanity through Mary but was conceived without a human father (Matthew 1:18) making Him fully man and fully God. He was called the Son of God, (1 John 5:20), the second person of the Holy Trinity. Jesus taught about the kingdom of God and how we are to love everyone, even our enemies (Merrick, 2015). Jesus was the only human to live a sinless life so He was able to fulfill His purpose on earth to provide a way for man’s relationship with God to be restored. “In Jesus’ life, one beholds not merely the lengths to which God will go to save humanity, but the nature of the wisdom, love, and the power of God who saves.” (Merrick, 2015) God provided a plan so man could be redeemed and

  • What Is The Christian Worldview?

    1270 Words  | 3 Pages

    He is God incarnate who became flesh to take away the sins of the world. He was a poor servant, an obedient child who grew up with wisdom and understanding and became man so that the Word became flesh to dwell among humanity (Weaver, 2014). For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6). Jesus’ ministry was to preach and teach about the Kingdom Of Heaven and these teachings are the revelations that mankind are to live by in order to get into Heaven and find salvation (DiVincenzo, 2015). The teaching about the Kingdom was for God to restore his creation into the right relationship with himself (DiVincenzo, 2015). This was established so that he and his people can be together in peace, justice, and truth (DiVincenzo, 2015). This identity of Jesus and the work that he did on earth is important to the Christian worldview because it shows that God fulfilled his promise of the Messiah to save the world and it also fulfilled the scripture of the one that was to come. This is an essential element to the beliefs as a

    As we read John, we see that the stories center around the concept of belief. In the second chapter of John, we are told of the miracle that Jesus did at a wedding: turning water into wine. This miracle was told so that we may believe. “Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him” (John 2:11). Through these miracles we are able to see signs of Jesus’s power and glory and how God’s presence is in him, leading many to believe in him. After this, Jesus went to Capernum, then Jerusalem to the temple, where he found people selling things

    Throughout the Gospels, Jesus is a leader who should have received far more respect. Instead, a mob attempted to kill him at Nazareth (Luke 4:29-30) and he was refused in a Samaritan village (Luke 9:51-56). People indignantly demanded, “Who do you claim to be?” (John 8:53) and attempted to stone him when he answered. Jesus performed thirty-seven miracles , and in return, he was plotted against, betrayed, and crucified. Even though Jesus knew what would happen to him, he continued his ministry and teachings.
