For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6
And she will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins. Matthew 1:21
Now it was the governor’s custom each year during the Passover celebration to release one prisoner—anyone the people requested. One of the prisoners at that time was Barabbas, a revolutionary who had committed murder in an uprising. The crowd went to Pilate and asked him to release a prisoner as usual. “Would you like me to release to you this ‘King of the Jews’?” Pilate asked. (For he realized by now that the leading priests had arrested

Matthew 's Gospel said that an Angel appeared and said that his name shall be Jesus because he would be the savior of the world. The Angel knew by whose authority Jesus would be operating; God the Father. John takes it a step further says that “For this is how God (The Father) loved the world: He gave his one and only Son (Jesus), so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. He was saying that Jesus IS the Son of the …show more content…
Their options were between two men: Jesus and Barabbas. Ironically, both their names represent the term Son of the Father. If you were to dissect the name Barabbas you would find this to be true. BAR(means Son of) Abbas (Father). The difference between these two men was the matter of their hearts. Barabbas was a murder, thief, and continuous nuisance. Jesus, however, was a pure in heart, loved, and lived out his days fulfilling what God had sent him to do. He was the spotless lamb that was needed for sacrifice. So, without real knowledge of this fact; Jesus was chosen to be crucified. He had fulfilled every prophecy to that point.
Cain and Able both carried the name of their Father, Adam. Both men had a choice to make with how they would represent their lineage. You can either be bound by the curses or you can choose to serve God and overcome them. One, Able, chose to give God his best while Cain did not. Their hearts served as their representative to

It has been a couple of weeks, and our first child has arrived: a girl. We have decided to name her Aphrodite, for she is the symbol of the love between Gaea and I. We will teach her to be the symbol of love for our new world to learn. They must know that love is an important thing to have in order to be happy.
The most obvious fact that links the motif of Cain and Able are the names; first Adam and Charles, and later Aaron and Caleb. In both generations the father prefers one son over the other; in the novel, the preferred sons are Adam and Aaron. Even the personalities of Adam and Charles reflect Cain and Able. However, a fascinating plot twist follows Caleb. Despite the traditional story, Caleb realizes that choice determines actions, rather than personality or lineage. I greatly enjoyed this change in events that the reader were anticipating. I was glad that Caleb was able to receive his fathers blessing, instead of living in
...chased from her body, she is seen as good by being faithful to Jesus and loving him to the end ( Mark 16:9).
While both the Gospel of Matthew and John tell of the global reordering plan for the world, each does so in a unique way. The Gospel of Matthew is able to show the reordering of the world by focusing on the aspect of Jesus as a teacher and the results of this; while the Gospel of John shows the reordering occurring as God works through Jesus showing signs to the people of who he is, focusing on the belief this brings to people. “But all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God” (John 1:12). Through this verse, we see the reordering in effect, as all who receive him and believe in him have the power to become children of God.
At the very beginning of the gospels the authors make their representation of Jesus known to the reader, but they rely upon different methods. Mark focuses on Jesus’ role as a servant is apparent as he quotes the prophet Isaiah: “Here is my messenger, whom I send on ahead of you!” (Mark 1:2) This is a rather simple statement, and the use of the word “messenger” connotes a sense of being under another’s command; Jesus is seen as an intermediary between God and man. John’s introduction to Jesus is much more majestic and poetic, devoting many verses to explaining his divine relationship with God: “In the beginning there was the divine word and wisdom. The divine word and wisdom was there with God, and it was what God was. It was there with God from the beginning. Everything came to be by means of it” (John 1:1-3).
Cain and his brother Abel have conflict and change in their lives. Cain feels jealous of his brother Abel when Abel is being rewarded. Cain;s jealousy grew so much he ended up murdering his brother. Cain pretended to have the nature of a good person and in the end he changed his mind and himself to an evil character. Shown through that, first impressions are not everything and some people will do anything for power or love. Cain truly desired love from his parents. Power can change anyone if they really want it. Moses is a prime example of this. When God puts pressure on him and say that Momas had to do better and if he did not God would disown him. Moses wanted God’s power behind him, if he ever needed to fall back on it. When God wanted humans to improve the Earth, he put them on. When the first sign of trouble came God flooded the Earth. He told Noah that only he and his family could go through the ark and two animals. Jacob was in a conflict with his brothers and he was in jail and he tricked everyone into thinking he was innocent. Jacob was in a conflict with his brothers and he was in jail and he tricked everyone into thinking he was innocent. Change also came from our perspective of God. God in the beginning was kind with the power which he didn’t really shown off and in the end he claimed his power to Moses and everyone and he was very conceited about
The story of Cain comes from the Old Testament in the Bible. Adam's wife, Eve, becomes pregnant and has her first child, who is truly insincere, selfish, and later on, commits the ultimate taboo; he murders his own flesh and blood. This child's name is Cain. Some time later, she gives birth to another son, Abel, who, unlike Cain, is very genuine, selfless and who can never think of hurting someone, let alone murdering him. When the two children grow up, Cain is a farmer, and Abel is a shepherd. They are both asked by their parents to give offerings to the Lord whenever possible, but only without any expectation or selfish desire in return. It is not possible for Cain to be so selfless and kind.
Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign: Behold, the young woman who is unmarried and a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel [God with us]. (Isaiah 7:14, AMP)
From Adam and Eve come Cain and Abel. Cain’s jealousy of his brother led to his sin in killing his brother Abel. His transgression from God led him to be the first murderer in the history of man. Because of his actions Cain was punished by God and banished from his land. He became a wanderer and came into the land of ...
Matthew writes his gospel account to give us the view of Jesus as the King:
“Hail, O favored one, the Lord is with you!” According to both the religions, Mary, who was a virgin and betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, was considered to be the ‘most blessed’ among all women. “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God…..How shall this be, since I have no husband?” The archangel Gabriel tells Mary that she is going to have a baby and that she should name the child Jesus. Despite the fact that she is very young and a virgin, she does not disbelieve the angel. She has no fear of what the society would think, she just wants to understand more about her pregnancy, however she has no doubt. Th...
I read about Jesus in the four gospels of the New Testament. In their narratives of his birth, Matthew and Luke call him the virgin-born Savior, the Lord Christ Jesus, the Holy One, the So of the Most High, the Son of God, and Immanuel, which means "God with us." Mark does not give us an account of Christ's birth, but he dows introduce him as Jesus Christ, the son of God.
All religions differ in one way or another, but one of the biggest distinguishers for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is our core belief in the Godhead. This core belief, while not included in the Genesis account of the Creation, can be seen in Moses 2:1: “I am the Beginning and the End, the Almighty God; by mine Only Begotten I created these things; yea, in the beginning I created the heaven, and the earth…” Immediately we can see that Heavenly Father referred to His Son as the creator of the heaven and the earth, and it was only under the direction of the Father that it occurred.
“The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God,”(biblehub.com) said angel Gabriel who visited Mary.To me Jesus is the son of God because he has the ability to help so many individuals through the Holy Spirit. In the Gospel of Mark, Jesus
