Option 1: Pick one of the four gospels, and discuss how the author uniquely portrays Jesus. Discuss how this Gospel adds to our understanding and appreciation of who Jesus truly is. Highlight one specific passage from the Gospel to back up your post. For example, if you chose Matthew's Gospel as highlighting Jesus as the Messiah who fulfills Old Testament prophecies, you might use one of the many passages where Matthew quotes the Old Testament prophets in his writing.
Option 2: Select one of the I AM Statements from John's Gospel, and explain how it impacts and adds to our understanding of who Jesus is. Talk about why Jesus might have used this image and how the image fits into the larger context of Scripture. For example, if you choose Jesus' statement about being the Good Shepherd, you may draw connections with Psalm 23, etc.
Please title your post with your Last Name and the option you have chosen. Use good writing construction, and no more than 500 words. Interact with one other student in a meaningful way, adding to their discussion (more than just, "I agree, or Good Post"
Hi Scott,
I think what you have hit upon here is so important, Jesus it seems to me always made a personal connection with the hurt and the lost people. I see too many times that Christians today are not willing to make that connection unless they are guaranteed or fill that they have a high chance to get a response that we can put another mark in our mind that we accomplished something. Maybe I am wrong but that doesn't seem to line up with the kind of love Jesus has for humanity, he loved them even know how ultimately he would be rejected. It was only after the measure of time that we see that change from the occurrence of Jesus sacrifices on the cross. As we move forward we need to love our Neighbor for their good and not for the filling you or I may get with a positive response.
