The Suffering, Death and Resurrection of Jesus There were many events that led up to the crucifixion of Jesus, many Christians today believe that Jesus died for us, so that the world would be free of sin. The first event that led up to the crucifixion of Jesus was the entry into Jerusalem, Jesus fulfilled zachariah's prophecy by riding into Jerusalem on a donkey. Jesus entered peacefully and the people welcomed him as a messiah shouting, 'hosanna in the highest', but this angered the Jewish leaders as Jesus rode into Jerusalem like a king. This showed that he clamed to be the messiah, and therefore was asking for trouble. The next event that happened was the cleansing of the temple, where Jesus addressed the scriptures and clamed that the temple was 'a house of prayer for the people of all nations' this angered the chief priests. This adds inevitability to Jesus' death, as it shows that Jesus may have brought it on himself. Another event happened as Jesus went to the temple and his authority was questioned, Jesus knew that if he said that his authority has come from God, he would get arrested for blasphemy, so Jesus did nothing. Another event that had happened was the plot against Jesus, the chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking to condemn Jesus to death, it is clear that Jesus has done something to anger the Jewish law abiders, possibly blasphemy as he was claming to be 'son of man'. The plot began to proceed as Judas one of Jesus' twelve disciples planned to betray him; Judas planned to betray Jesus after the Passover meal. The Passover is the most important festival for Judaism, and on this event the people sacrifice an animal to god, but in this case the sacrifice is Jesus. Jesus knew that the scriptures have being foretold and accepted this. Jesus again refers to the scriptures as he predicts peters denial; again this shows that Jesus has accepted that he is going to die. The most crucial event was when Jesus prays in Gethsemane, this is

    Judas had told some of his close relatives and some of his Sadducean friends that, while he believed that Jesus had good intentions and an idealist, but he did not think that he would make a good “King”. The Priests gave Judas a group of armed guards to take with him to the Garden of Gethsemane. The Garden of Gethsemane is where Jesus and the Apostles went to pray after the Last Supper. The plan for Judas was to identify Jesus. The way that they agreed to identify Jesus was to have Judas go to Jesus and give him a kiss. After the kiss, Judas was to call Jesus “Master”.

    Nearly two thousand years ago, according to the biblical record, Jesus walked the land of Palestine ministering to the people with signs and wonders before meeting his end by crucifixion. Some historians and scholars say that Jesus was a dangerous insurrectionist that got himself executed by the Roman Governor Pontius Pilate. Others revere Jesus as one of the many prophets that were sent by God to the Jewish nation. Many more believe that he was the son-of-god who came to earth on a mission to pay the penalty for the sins of the human race and bring

    In Theophile Gautier's The Beautiful Vampire, he is very subtle in presenting the sins committed. Although all of the characters in this story commit various sins, the sins of Romuald are the sins primarily focused on. This sinning of Romauld is very unique in that he is a ordained priest who should be one of the last people to commit these sins. It is this reason that makes the story what it is and draws the readers in initially.

  • The Gospel of Matthew

    The Gospel of Matthew is an eyewitness story written for an audience of believers, under great stress, and persecution. Matthew develops a theological plot incorporating genealogy, speeches, parables, inter and intra textual references, common vocabulary, and fulfillment quotations, with a tension that builds as we are invited into the story. The crucifixion and resurrection bring us to a Christological climax that symbolically points beyond its conclusion to God’s Kingdom, bringing atonement, salvation and the ushering in the Eschaton. The extraordinary events surrounding the crucifixion act as commentary, adding important details concerning the death of Jesus.1

  • God and Devil

    Jesus was created by God and deemed to be his son. He preached Jewish reform to all who would listen. In addition, he was known to heal the sick and cast away evil demons. Jesus was always able to control, but not create. He didn’t create any defense for himself when he was about to be killed, but he did make a martyr of himself. The death of Jesus creates a completely separate religion from Judaism. This split God’s people into two different sections. Later, one began persecuting the other, and in some places, hasn’t stopped to this day. This is not the outcome that God would’ve wanted.

    I chose to look into Jesus death and the people who were involved in it. The first group of people who got hold of Jesus was the Roman soldiers. They were probably the most innocent in the whole thing. Granted they did perform the actual act of crucifying Christ, but it was because of the order that Pilate gave them.

    Jesus’ life was ministry and death. Much of the early life of Jesus Christ is a mystery. The preponderance of information on or about his life is found in the four gospels of the New Testaments. Jesus was born to the Virgin Mary in the year “0” B.C. near the town of Bethlehem in a manger outside of an inn. This humble beginning was the foreshadowing of a life of humility and service. At the age of 12 Jesus was seen in the temple talking with, listening to and teaching many learned men. It was then that Jesus declared that he was the Son of God with a divine purpose here on earth. Jesus lived a traditional Jewish life as a simple carpenter. At the age of 30, Jesus was baptized and recognized by John the Baptist; it was now that he began his earthly ministry. The main points of Jesus’ teaching were that God loves you and is with you, to love one another, of the immense value of each person. The Good News: kingdom of God has come to earth. The reality of judgment to heaven or hell and that God forgives those who ask

    When Jesus visited Jerusalem around 29 AD, he found enthusiastic crowds greeting him as the messiah. However he was arrested for not worshiping pagan Roman gods and was sentenced to death on a cross. While he was hanging awaiting death he forgave those who had killed him and those who had worshipped him the day before were denying him. After his crucifixion he was placed in a tomb, on the third day he rose, and greeted his followers, further convincing them that he was the messiah.

    J. H. Bernard highlights the idea ὁ διάβολος ἤδη βεβληκότος, “the devil having already put into the heart of Judas, to betray him. The synoptic gospels clearly reveals clearly the bargain made by with the religious leaders before that night (Mk. 14:10, Mt. 26:14, Lk 22:3). Hence, what John does simply points to the treachery of Judas, instigated by the devil; this is repeated by John in verse 27, when Judas decides on the final and fatal step. 11
