“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” (The Holy Bible John 13:34) Jesus teaches this commandment to his disciples. Jim Casy tries to live this way by preaching and showing others that God cares. In The Grapes of Wrath, John Steinbeck shows Casy as a prime example of Christ-likeness during the Great Depression. Through his commitment to save mankind and by living a life that reflected Jesus Christ; he shows others how to live like him.
Unlike in Christianity where people believe and worship one God, Pagans believed and worshipped many. They wore a pentacle as a sign of their belief in paganism, where Christians wear a cross to remind them that their Lord died on the cross for them. A pentacle is a five-pointed star with a circle in the center. The five points represent the five elements fire, water, air, spirit, and earth. In Beowulf the quote “Shield had a son, child for his yard, sent by God to comfort the people”(Beowulf episode 3) they believed God sent them the son to relieve them of all their worries.
I believe the reason for this inspirational sermon was his way of thanking God for finally making it illegal to buy and sell slaves and for giving them the strength to endure and learn from what they went through. He was also thankful to God for sparing the future children from having to go through any of the suffering that their fathers and grandfathers had to go through. He was also grateful to the antislavery societies and individuals for all of their hard work against slavery as well. In this inspirational sermon, Reverend Jones described the cruelty of the slave trade. He was convinced the slaves believed the same God that allowed them to suffer during slavery was the same God who intervened on their behalf and put an end to all of their pain and suffering.
Love is a spirit that is manifested from the heart of a man.Love draws others to Christ.as it calls all men. For God is the greatest example of Love. When he sent his only begotten son to the cross, yes he gave his only child to die on our behalf.When God renews his mercies each day, forgiving sins and looking beyond faults,and loving unconditionaly,God shows the attributes of love for he is love.unlike man who loves with conditions As believers must follow the example of love that God has given us when we received salvation. Love brings peace, joy and contentment of spirit. And can be learned through the word of God.
The director uses the film technique ‘flashback’ commendably to show us Charlie’s life before the plane crash. This is an important element to understand Charlie’s conflict and how this is affecting him in this episode. Charlie has had a tough time before the crash. He was a part of a band (DriveSHAFT) with his older brother Liam Pace. In the first flashback we are taken to a Church in Manchester, where Charlie is confessing his sins in a confession booth.
Good Morning, my name is Selena Band. Today I was asked to speak on one of the parables. The parable I chose is the one that Jesus told of the lost sheep. I’m going to start by reading from Luke chapter 15. (Read Luke 15: 4-7) In these verses Jesus teaches us of a shepherd that leaves his flock of ninety-nine sheep to search for his one lost lamb; and when the shepherd finds his lamb, he takes it back to his flock and rejoices.
He planned to divorce Mary, but was concerned for her suffering and safety. He also knew women accused of adultery could be killed; he divorced her quietly and didn’t expose her to shame or cruelty. We know Joseph was a man of faith. He was obedient to whatever God asked of him, while uncertain of the outcome. For example, when the angel appeared in Joseph’s dream and told him the truth about the child Mary was carrying, Joseph immediately, without hesitation took Mary as his wife.
Still, the underlying message of "The Way" the very title, of course, recalls Jesus' teaching that he is himself "the way, the truth and the life" is one that audiences of faith will find congenial, if not as robustly satisfying as less caution might have made it. Walking the Camino de Santiago is the dream of many walkers, wanderers and seekers. This movie takes us on the Camino (the Way of Saint James) with a father yanked out of his safe life when his son dies on the first leg of the journey. We follow him as he decides to finish his son's pilgrimage walk on the 500-mile trek. Martin Sheen stars, with his son Emilio Estevez as the son and also the writer-director of the movie.
A lawyer asks Jesus what he should do to inherit eternal life. Jesus confirms that that by loving God and your neighbor you will inherit eternal life. The lawyer wants to know who is considered his neighbor, and Jesus proceeds to tell the story of a man who was robbed and was left for dead. The first person who walks past the injured man is a Priest. The Priest crosses and walks on the other side of the road.
The crime on his death to pay a ransom, save all who believe in him, and will also be raised, with god, has eternal life. He is the savior of mankind.
