    Gospel Of Matthew Essay

    • 449 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The Gospel of Matthew was written with the intention of bridging the gap between the prophecies of the Old Testament, and their fulfillment by Jesus in the New Testament. In order to make this connection, Matthew’s Gospel takes on a specific mode. It is mainly composed of stories that relate to the teaching aspect of Jesus’ life. Matthew uses his role as an instructor to portray Jesus as a “humble and compassionate Messiah.” Matthew’s perspective is also focused; the Romans are seemingly less culpable for Jesus’ death than the Jewish leaders and people. Perhaps the writer’s intentions shine through as an effect of this focus, and it seems probable that, “[Matthew] was likely intended to shock both Jewish Christians and their Jewish neighbors…

    Review of The Epic of Eden

    Albert Einstein once said “Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.” This is an extremely powerful quote, and I will seek to convey its strength, as applied to our lives as Christians, upon the careful review of Sandra L. Richter’s The Epic of Eden: A Christian Entry into the Old Testament. Richter designed this text as merely a tool by which we might further our understanding of the Old Testament narrative. With one minor glitch in her system, Richter handled the task as that of an expert in the field would - with patience, attention to central detail, and arresting dialogue designed to pull the reader in and leave them starving for more.…

    Mark’s Jesus has an apocalyptic view of reality, meaning that the current age is under the power of Satan and his forces. In this Gospel of Mark, the forces is referring to the Romans in power, the political, social, and religious elites. In the coming of age, however, will be under God’s power and God’s rule, with the lowly being raised above the high. This point of view completely stands against the gospel of prosperity who say that one of rich and successful because God wanted it that way. In Mark 10:14, Jesus says, “the kingdom of God belongs to such as these [children]”. Children are seen as the lowest and the least and therefore will be accepted into God’s rule.
