This document discusses the necessity of salvation through Jesus Christ. It begins by explaining that we must understand God's holiness and our own sinfulness and unrighteousness. It then explains who Jesus is as the Word made flesh, who lived a sinless life and died for our sins. We are called to repent of our sins, deny ourselves, and follow Christ by taking up our cross. Counting the full cost of discipleship is required. Finally, it emphasizes that salvation through Jesus is worth any cost, as it is the only way to be reconciled to God and spared from His wrath.

He is best known for his series of paintings titled "The Life of Christ" which depicted scenes from the life of Jesus based on the Gospels. The series contains over 300 watercolor paintings that were exhibited worldwide between 1883 and 1896. They are now displayed at the Brooklyn Museum in New York City.
Lent is a season of prayer, penance, and fasting lasting 40 days in preparation for Easter that originated from Jesus' 40 day fast in the desert; it is observed through acts of penance like fasting, prayer, and almsgiving as called for in the Bible and focused on encountering Christ through liturgy and sacraments according to the Church and Pope's message.
The document describes God creating the world in 6 days according to the biblical book of Genesis. Each day is summarized: on the first day God created light; on the second day he created the sky; on the third day he created land and plants; on the fourth day he created the sun, moon, and stars; on the fifth day he created sea creatures and birds; and on the sixth day he created land animals and humans. The document recounts that God saw all of creation as good.
The document summarizes key events of Holy Week leading up to Easter, including Jesus' entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, the Last Supper on Thursday where he established Holy Communion, praying in the Garden of Gethsemane on Thursday night, his crucifixion and death on Good Friday, descending into hell, and his resurrection discovered by Mary Magdalene on Easter Sunday morning.

The document summarizes the six trials of Jesus before his crucifixion. It describes how Jesus was first tried before Annas and then Caiaphas in kangaroo courts where he was charged with blasphemy but without proper witnesses. He was then tried before the Sanhedrin council and charged with blasphemy again, but they could not sentence him to death so changed the charge to treason to try him before the Romans.
The document summarizes the six trials of Jesus before his crucifixion according to the gospels. It provides context about the timeline and charges at each trial. The first two trials were before Annas and Caiaphas, the high Jewish priests, where Jesus was charged with blasphemy. The third trial was before the Sanhedrin council where he was found guilty. The charges were then switched to treason so Jesus could be tried under Roman law by Pilate, hoping for the death penalty. Pilate did not find Jesus guilty but the crowds insisted, leading to the sixth trial.
The trial of Jesus broke many Jewish legal procedures. It occurred at night, in secret, and without advocates for the accused. Jesus was tried before Annas, Caiaphas, and the Sanhedrin, who sought false testimony and condemned him for claiming to be the Son of God. Pilate and Herod also found Jesus innocent but sentenced him to death due to pressure from religious leaders. Jesus stood up for the truth that he was the Son of God and king, while reactions to him ranged from willful rejection to superficial acceptance.
The document provides details from Charles Swindoll's book on the six trials of Jesus as described in the gospels of John and Matthew. It summarizes the events and circumstances surrounding each of Jesus' trials before Annas, Caiaphas, the Sanhedrin, Pilate, Herod, and again before Pilate. The document examines how the trials did not follow Jewish legal procedure and amounted to kangaroo courts, as Jesus was denied due process and his accusers could not provide consistent testimony or evidence to substantiate their charges.
1) Jesus underwent 6 trials - the first before Annas, then Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin, followed by two trials before Pilate and Herod, and a final trial back with Pilate. The Jewish authorities tried him for blasphemy but lacked authority to carry out the death penalty, so they switched the charge to treason to try him before the Romans.
2) All the trials disregarded Jewish law and principles of justice, essentially functioning as kangaroo courts, as they had already decided on Jesus' execution and sought only false testimony. Despite finding no fault, Pilate ultimately acquiesced to the crowd's demands to crucify Jesus.
Jesus attends a dinner party hosted by a prominent Pharisee, where he is carefully watched by those hoping to catch him breaking religious laws. When a sick man with dropsy is brought before Jesus, he instantly heals the man without saying a word. When questioned by the Pharisees about healing on the Sabbath, Jesus points out their own hypocrisy in being willing to rescue an animal in need on the Sabbath. He then exposes the social climbing and selfish motives of the guests and host. Through parables, Jesus warns them about ignoring God's invitation and criticizes their ignorance of the truth.
The document discusses evidence for the resurrection of Jesus in 4 points:
1. Jesus prophesied his death and resurrection in advance, though the disciples did not believe.
2. The tomb was found empty by women and others, despite being heavily guarded as the Jewish leaders feared his body being stolen.
3. Jesus appeared to the disciples multiple times after his death, in various situations, proving he was alive.
4. The disciples, who were previously afraid and in hiding, were transformed into bold proclaimers of the resurrection despite facing persecution, which suggests they truly believed Jesus had risen from the dead.
The Third Day - A Defense Of The Resurrection Part 1Robin Schumacher
1. The document examines the historical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ, focusing on the undisputed facts accepted by most scholars, including Jesus' death by crucifixion and burial, the discovery of his empty tomb, and post-resurrection appearances to his disciples and others.
2. It provides multiple lines of evidence to support the resurrection claim, including eyewitness testimony from disciples who were transformed from fearful followers to bold proclaimers of the gospel, even in the face of persecution, as well as early creeds and reports from Paul and other early Christian writers.
3. The evidence is analyzed using historical criteria for determining authenticity such as early independent sources and the inability to disprove the

Two men … two trials mark 14-53-72 - march 16, 2014John Smith
1) The document discusses two trials described in the Gospel of Mark - the trial of Jesus and the trial of Peter. It notes several illegalities in Jesus' trial before religious and civil authorities.
2) Despite facing unjust treatment and humiliation, Jesus remained calm and faithful, setting an example of how to respond when persecuted for one's faith.
3) The document contrasts Jesus and Peter, noting that while Peter sought to follow Jesus at a distance for safety, true faith requires open allegiance even when it is not safe. Believers are called to follow Jesus' example of facing persecution with courage and placing one's trust in God.
This document provides an overview of approaches to studying the New Testament, including the world behind, within, and in front of the text. It discusses author-centered, text-centered, and reader-centered approaches. Several methods of biblical study are explained in brief, including background studies, textual criticism, source criticism, and form criticism. Examples are given analyzing passages from the gospels using these different critical methods.
Sabbath school lesson 12, 3rd quarter of 2018David Syahputra
Paul was confined in Caesarea for his safety under Roman jurisdiction. He was accused by the Jews of insurrection, being a leader of the Nazarenes sect, and profaning the Temple, but the Romans found he had done nothing illegal. Paul appealed to Caesar to avoid being captured by the Jews. He was brought before King Agrippa to advise what charges to bring before Caesar, and Paul seized the opportunity to give testimony about his conversion and call to preach about Jesus. Agrippa was almost persuaded to become a Christian himself.
The document examines the claims of Jesus and who he really was. It considers whether he was a sage, prophet, liar, crazy person, messiah, son of man, god in the flesh, or merely a man. It outlines Jesus' audacious claims in the gospels and the responses they elicited. It also analyzes messianic prophecies from the Old Testament that Jesus fulfilled and arguments for his resurrection, concluding that Jesus is who he said he was - the Messiah, Lord, and God in the flesh.
Jesus of Nazareth claimed to be God in both his words and actions. The document examines evidence from the historical record that Jesus exhibited divine attributes like omniscience, omnipotence, and eternality. It describes instances where Jesus demonstrated knowledge of future and private events, performed miracles that showed power over nature and disease, and made statements implying he was the eternal God. The document argues Jesus' life fulfills prophecies about God and that he directly claimed equality with God, providing biblical quotes to support its view that Jesus is the one true God.
Good Friday is a religious holiday commemorating Jesus Christ's crucifixion and death. The document provides details from the Canonical gospels about Jesus' arrest, trials before the high priest and Pontius Pilate, crucifixion at Calvary, and burial by Joseph of Arimathea. It describes the Stations of the Cross ceremony that is often observed on Good Friday to commemorate Jesus' final walk and the events leading up to his death.
To be a true disciple of Jesus requires complete commitment and sacrifice. We must devote ourselves to learning from Jesus through studying the Bible, surrender our entire lives to following His teachings, and be willing to give up anything that comes between us and Him. True discipleship means more than just identifying as a Christian - it requires diligently applying Jesus' lessons and representing Him in both good and bad times, regardless of personal cost. Being a disciple will not be easy, but remaining faithful to our calling will result in an eternal reward far greater than any temporary suffering.
Jesus seeks out and saves Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector who was wealthy but disliked. When Jesus calls on Zacchaeus to be his guest, Zacchaeus responds with joy. He promises to give half his wealth to the poor and repay anyone he has cheated four times the amount. Jesus says salvation has come to Zacchaeus' home, as he has shown himself to be a true son of Abraham by his actions.

202, Life of Christ, section 7c: Later Galilean ministry, withdrawalRichard Chamberlain
- Jesus withdraws from Galilee to travel north and east, continuing his ministry through teaching in parables and performing miracles.
- He engages in a debate with Pharisees over ceremonial cleanliness and nullifying God's commands with human traditions.
- Jesus heals the daughter of a Gentile woman from Phoenician Sidon who demonstrates great faith, and a deaf mute man in the Decapolis region.

This document discusses the importance of making disciples who make disciples based on the models of Jesus and Paul. It notes that while many churches believe in and teach discipleship, few actually implement disciple-making processes like intentional relationships and accountability. The document cites examples of churches that grew when they shifted from a program-based to a relationship-based discipleship approach and created clear spiritual pathways expecting life transformation. It encourages pastors to invest in discipling relationships above all other activities.
It is common to refer to the process of maturing as a disciple as spiritual formation. Here, based upon work by Greg Ogden, I give a four stage process for growing into maturity, and fruitfulness, as a follower of King Jesus.
Jesus expected a process of change, growth and development in the life of his followers. Many writers suggest a three or four stage process. A four stage process is outlined here, along with personal challenge / application.
Disciple-Making, according to Greg Ogden requires at least tow major factors: Internalisation and Multiplication. This presentation adds to his ideas with some scripture and illustrative ideas challenging followers of Christ to become, and make, disciples in his image.
Name someone...who has impacted your life.
Disiple-making is a deliberate act requiring discipline and dedication

This document provides a summary of the New Testament story in four hours. It is divided into three time periods in the life of Jesus: 1) His first 30 years before ministry, 2) His three years of public ministry in and around Israel, and 3) His crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. The first section focuses on Jesus' birth and early life, including key details from the nativity story presented in the gospels of Matthew and Luke.
This document provides an overview and summary of key events and people in the Old Testament from Eden to Israel entering the Promised Land. It discusses 4 main moves: 1) From Eden to Israel; 2) From Israel to Egypt; 3) 40 years in the wilderness; 4) Entering the Promised Land. Key points covered include Creation, the Fall, Noah, Abraham, Joseph in Egypt, Moses and the Exodus, receiving the 10 Commandments at Mt. Sinai, and Joshua leading the people into Canaan.
The document provides guidance on discipleship and disciple-making. It begins by defining a disciple as someone who is following Jesus, being changed by Jesus, and committed to Jesus' mission. It then discusses the importance of discipleship, noting that disciples are meant to be world-changers and that one-on-one discipleship is the most effective method, replicating itself over time. The document concludes by outlining models of discipleship, including sharing the gospel, connecting with others, helping them minister, and ultimately making them disciples who can repeat the process.
The document summarizes the biblical story of Babel in Genesis 11, where all humanity spoke one language but decided to build a tower to make themselves famous. God responded by confusing their languages, scattering them across the earth and enforcing his command to spread out. It also discusses the origins of different ethnicities and races. The next section introduces Abraham, called at age 75 to leave Haran and given promises by God of land, descendants and blessing through his offspring. The covenant with Abraham sets the agenda for the rest of the Bible by being fulfilled through Christ.
The document outlines key events in the biblical story of humanity's origins and early history:
1. God creates the universe and places the first man and woman in the Garden of Eden.
2. Adam and Eve rebel against God and are banished from the Garden, introducing sin and brokenness into the world.
3. As sin and death spread, God brings a flood to wipe out most of humanity while saving Noah, his family, and two of every kind of animal on an ark.
This document provides an overview of the upcoming "The Old Testament Story" learning and development series starting on September 2nd. It outlines the 4 main movements of the Old Testament story from Eden to Israel, Israel in the promised land, Israel to exile and return. Key details include the main people, events, and sections covered within the 11 most important books that make up 95% of the Old Testament narrative.
A375 Example Taste the taste of the Lord, the taste of the Lord The taste of...franktsao4
It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

7. Before Annas Jn 18:12-14, 19-23
Annas was the father in law of Caiaphas
and his predecessor as high priest
(6-15AD)
- Jews would have believed this position
was held for life and so Annas was still
rightfully the HP
- so taking Jesus to Annas was a sign of
respect for him
- Jesus is blunt in his answers, nothing
new is revealed to Annas
- Jesus is struck and points out the
injustice of this
- Blomberg suggests we see in John that
Jesus is not on trial but the Jewish
authorities are on trial before him
12 Then the detachment of soldiers with its
commander and the Jewish officials arrested
Jesus.They bound him 13 and brought him
first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of
Caiaphas, the high priest that year.
14 Caiaphas was the one who had advised
the Jewish leaders that it would be good if
one man died for the people...
19 Meanwhile, the high priest questioned
Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.
20 ‘I have spoken openly to the world,’ Jesus
replied.‘I always taught in synagogues or at
the temple, where all the Jews come
together. I said nothing in secret.

21 Why question me? Ask those who heard
me. Surely they know what I said.’
22 When Jesus said this, one of the officials
near by slapped him in the face.‘Is this the
way you answer the high priest?’ he
demanded.
23 ‘If I said something wrong,’ Jesus
replied,‘testify as to what is wrong. But if I
spoke the truth, why did you strike
me?’24 Then Annas sent him bound to
Caiaphas the high priest.

10. 60 Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus,
‘Are you not going to answer?What is this testimony that these
men are bringing against you?’ 61 But Jesus remained silent and
gave no answer.
Again the high priest asked him,‘Are you the Messiah, the Son of
the Blessed One?’
62 ‘I am,’ said Jesus.‘And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the
right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of
heaven.’
63 The high priest tore his clothes.‘Why do we need any more
witnesses?’ he asked. 64 ‘You have heard the blasphemy.What do
you think?’
They all condemned him as worthy of death. 65 Then some began
to spit at him; they blindfolded him, struck him with their fists, and
said,‘Prophesy!’And the guards took him and beat him.
Before the Sanhedrin at night - the scene inside
- Jesus’ confession Mk 14:53-65
They took Jesus to the high priest, and all the chief priests, the
elders and the teachers of the law came together. 54 Peter
followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high
priest.There he sat with the guards and warmed himself at the
fire.
55 The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for
evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death, but
they did not find any.56 Many testified falsely against him, but
their statements did not agree.
57 Then some stood up and gave this false testimony against
him: 58 ‘We heard him say,“I will destroy this temple made with
human hands and in three days will build another, not made
with hands.”’ 59 Yet even then their testimony did not agree.

12. Jesus now appears before Caiaphas
- this is reported in all 3 synoptics
and implied in Jn (18:24, 28a)
- it is made clear that there was no
legitimate charge against Jesus, in fact
even the false witnesses could not
agree Mk 14:56
- Caiaphas asks Jesus directly,“Are
you the Messiah?”
- such a question reveals that publicly
Jesus had not previously said anything
of that nature
- Mark then reports Jesus saying “I
am”
- Matt and Luke have more evasive
replies 26:64, 22:67

- Matt and Luke have more evasive
replies 26:64, 22:67
- he then goes further and says they
will see him seated at the RHS of the
Mighty One in heaven
- son of man here is not a human idea
but from Daniel 7:13, one like a son of
man...
- this appears to be the point of
blasphemy, Jesus has too closely
associated himself with God!
- sitting at the RHS is a quote of Ps
110:1
- the Sanhedrin passed the death
sentence and those present started
to condemn and attack him
- they ask him to prophesy who
struck him
Saturday, 12 October 13
14. Before the Sanhedrin at night
- the scene outside - Peters’
denial Mk 14:66-72
- Jesus has just admitted his identity,
though he will face death for that
- Peter fears to admit his identity as a
disciple to even the lowest of servants
- thus Peter fulfills the earlier
prophecy
- the cock crows and he remembers
the words of Christ
- tears flow from Peter
- Matt here speaks of Judas’ suicide
and his sorrow over what he has
done, though he appeals not to Christ
for forgiveness but to his enemies
Saturday, 12 October 13
15. Before the Sanhedrin in
the morning - Jesus is
taken away Mk 15:1
Luke makes it look like the
trial takes place after daybreak
but Matt and Mk show the last
act of a final consultation takes
place before Jesus is taken off
to Pilate
- probably legal verdicts could
not have been taken at night,
so the proceedings are briefly
repeated

RT France,
“when blasphemy has
been proven using
euphemisms in open
court, the chief witness is
asked to repeat the
offending words verbatim
in a closed session so the
people as a whole do not
hear them, and then ‘the
judges stand up on their
feet and rend their
garments, and they may
not mend them again’”
Saturday, 12 October 13
17. There appear to be some
illegalities about the trial of
Jesus (at least according to
Mishnaic Law)
- could not be tried for a
capital offence on the eve of
the Sabbath
- on a feast day night
- without a witness speaking
on behalf of the accused
However,
- we do not know if these laws
which apply from 2nd century
onwards, applied in the time of
Jesus

However,
- we do not know if these laws

Jesus
- if they were current they
would not have been supported
by the majority Sadducees
- there is some allowance for
trials during a feast if the person
is accused of seducing to
idolatry or false prophecy
- the people concerned were
more flexible in their approach
to the law as they saw a higher
cause at stake
In conclusion, it does not appear
the irregularities in this trial
were normal for Jewish
authorities at the time.
Saturday, 12 October 13
19. An age old issue arising from
these events is the need to
ask whether the Gospels are
anti-Semitic (against jews) in
assigning blame for the
execution of Jesus to Jewish
hands?
How is Matt 27:25 to be
understood?
- is it all Jews for all time
- is it those who were directly
involved at the time of Jesus’
trail and crucifixion
Saturday, 12 October 13
20. - does it include those who
got caught up in the frenzy of
the events of that day
- we should remember that
some of these people were
probably saved later through
this same death Acts 2:37,
6:7...
- and Pilate, representing
Rome, must take a good deal
of responsibility
- and of course, what of us,
wasn’t it for our sin he died?
Saturday, 12 October 13
23. Jesus before the Roman
authorities Mk 15:2-20a
Jn 18:31 - under Roman law the
Sanhedrin could not inflict capital
punishment
- so Jewish authorities have to
convince the Roman authorities
that crucifixion is right here
- the obvious ploy is to talk of
Messiah in terms of what Jews had
expected, a ruler or deliverer -
Rome could not ignore this
Saturday, 12 October 13
24. Jesus before the Roman
authorities Mk 15:2-20a
- in no Gospel does Pilate appear
convinced that Jesus is guilty of
anything deserving death
- Luke 23:6ff explains how Pilate
sent him to Herod (in Jerusalem for
the feast), hoping he would declare
the verdict and get Pilate off the
hook
- Matt 27:19 adds the detail of
Pilates wife dreaming of an
“innocent man”
Saturday, 12 October 13
25. John paints the picture in 7
scenes - 18:28-19:16
- Pilate, looking for a way out,
offers the customary pardoning
of a prisoner
- Jesus or Barabbas (a notorious
terrorist), his name might actually
have been Jesus Barabbas as
Barabbas (bar-abba) simply means
‘son of the father’
- so the true Son of the Father is
given over and a murderer
released
- Pilate does not want to alienate
the Jews for fear of how Rome
might view it

- Pilate does not want to alienate
the Jews for fear of how Rome

- Jesus is flogged using the
verberatio, an unspecified number
of lashes with a metal tipped rope
- sometimes this in itself was
enough to kill the prisoner as it
tore into the skin and muscles of
the back
- Jesus is mocked as they place a
robe, crown and sceptre on him
Mk 15:17ff
- Jesus is then delivered off to be
crucified
Saturday, 12 October 13
33. Crucifixion Mk 15:20b-47
General observations:
Crucifixion is believed to be one of
the cruelest forms of death ever
devised
- full of shame and pain
- usually reserved for the worst
slaves and criminals
- the cross bar was carried to the
place of execution then arms tied
to it and /or nails driven through
the wrists
- ankles were also fixed in that way
Saturday, 12 October 13
34. Crucifixion Mk 15:20b-47
- a footrest was there in some, but
only to make the pain and torture
last longer
- crosses were either X or t shaped
- there is no definitive evidence to
suggest which was used for Jesus
though as time wore on the latter
was favoured
- death was by suffocation and
could take a couple of days
- birds etc. could attack the body
and waste would flow freely from it
Saturday, 12 October 13
35. Crucifixion Mk 15:20b-47
- Jesus died quickly - was this the
result of the flogging?
- the Gospels testify that Jesus
chose the time to die, crying out in
a loud voice and entrusting himself
to God
- by Jews crucifixion was considered
the same as hanging on a tree, and
therefore Jesus was thought cursed
Dt 21:22, 1 Cor 1:23
Saturday, 12 October 13
39. Looking at Jesus
- between midmorning and noon
Jesus is delivered to be crucified
- he is led through jerusalem on the
via dolorosa (sorrowful way)
- already weak and close to death
Jesus is unable to carry the
crossbeam all the way and Simon of
Cyrene is forced to carry it the rest
of the way
- Golgotha was probably a busy
road junction and thus acted as a
