I have been attending a new church, would like to learn more about Bible and Jesus www.jesuscentral.com/16177
September 07, 2008 Joseph from the town of Arimathaea was a wealthy Jewish religious leader. What risk did he take and why was he willing to do this? Note: Isaiah 53:9 - "And they made His grave with the wicked, But with the rich at His death."Jesus was considered to be blasphemous, claiming to be the Son of God. Many believed in Him, but many did not. The Romans, who crucified Jesus, did not believe in Jesus. Joseph appeared to recover the body of this criminal, Jesus. Joseph was already a respected man, and for him to care for Jesus, this was not looked upon well. He was ready and willing to care for Jesus body, becasue Joseph truly believed that Jesus WAS the Son of God. |

August 05, 2007 Jesus was commited to sacrifice his own life. What did he mean by the statement, "For who ever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel will save it"?Jesus know that, for Him to attain eternal life with God the Father, He must sacrifice and lose his own life. Jesus called His followers to also be willing to lose their own lives, so that they also may gave eternal life in God's Kingdom. By following Jesus, even into death, God will have mercy on them and accept them into Heaven. However, those who are not willing to lose their lives, to follow Jesus into death, would not be accepted into God's kingdom. |
