The Most Common Narratives Shared in Christology

Johannine Jesus was speaking regularly in terms that are “misunderstood” (Smith, journals.sagepub.com) by the partners of dialogue. Jesus’ partners were failing to appreciate the words he had and there was a profound register that he intends in which the paradigmatic reader could grasp. These are taken at face in a register that is mundane, deception acts are what the remarks constitute as. There is an exchange that Jesus and his brothers in Jn. 1-9 have combined with a comment the narrator has in 7.10, and there is an offer has an instance that has a very clear pattern. The brothers of Jesus are hearing his words in a mundane sense, that are both deceived and depart.

There is a divine figure or human being merely, that are being surveyed to various interpretations of the Christology from Mark’s Gospel to the nineteenth century to the date of the present. There are three broad periods that are detected. There is a characterization that is combined in low Christology that has a high estimation of Mark’s history. There is a new shift that takes place around 1970 when the Markan Jesus is viewed as a human being. The majority position is remaining there is a consensus that is far and there is a Markan scholarship that is divided even more than before.

Philippians 2 opens stating that Paul reminds the Philippians for spiritual fellowship, encouragement, and consolation is received through Christ. While having the blessings on mind, Paul was urging the believers to act like Jesus Christ so that all are willingly to be humbled for others’ sake. Paul was choosing to include the creed (in 6-11) in his letter he sent to the Philippians in order to show extent the humility and sacrifice of Christ. While being on Earth he obediently enduring humiliation including ultimate humiliation and crucifixion degradation. There is a reward for obedience that includes exaltation that is sublime and worship that is commanding and universal.

The book of Acts is overlooked of when we try explaining who and why Jesus was. There is an apocalyptic narrative in Acts that Jesus exalted and directly arose out of the story of the Gospel and it is challenging the ontology of the representations that are traditional. There is a central point that is made in Acts about Jesus that he was risen from the dead and seated at God’s right hand. There are rulers from Israel that conspired on having Jesus to be the Holy and Righteous one.

It is clear that any articulation is theological that is about Jesus and there are two constituencies that need to be addressed: (a) there is a presence that is vibrant and there are there are other faith communities (b) and there is a socioeconomic reality that is pushing a vast majority of poor people into periphery. Ever since the Western Missionaries there has been a former that has been vexing a problem that missionaries have taken Jesus to peoples’ other cultures and religions.

Mk 8:27-34 is standing on the Gospel’s center and it is at more or less Jesus’ life midpoint. Jesus has been describing to the Pharisees and Scribes about God coming into the kingdom. Twelve were appointed he was speaking in parables, taught, and worked through many miracles. Jesus refers himself to be the “the son of man”. Outside Jesus’ own words in his Gospels there is a description that only happens 4 times in the New Testament. There are some liberal theologians that have been arguing that the title is inexplicable that seems to be added by the early church even though there are church documents that are early do not use Jesus’ description.

From the point of view of history of all the Gospels Mark seems to be the oldest and it the most reliable and there is a reason that is not merely closer to the point of time that records the events but there is an interpretation that is causing concern to the meanings of the other Gospels’ events. Mark was authored by a Christian who was named John Mark, a person who is a relatively obscured person as the records in the New Testament indicate. Mark’s Gospel is recording as much accuracy as possible of Jesus’ teachings and life’s main events. There is a record that has furnished evidence that supported the belief that the true Messiah was Jesus and people could obtain salvation if they believed in Jesus.

In the first two chapters of Matthew and Luke there is an agreement Mary was the one who conceived Jesus without Joseph’s intervention, and he was one in David’s house. Matthew is describing the Magi’s visit, the journey to Egypt, and the residence that was made temporarily, and the slaughter by Herod of all the Great Infants- they are all from Joseph’s point of view. There are accounts in Luke that include John the Baptist’s birth, Mary’s angelic message, the shepherds visit, the circumcision of Jesus, the Temple presentation, and a record of Jesus’ conversation at the temple at age 12. In order for the objections to be treated as narratives they need to be treated like history that is literal.

Matthew and Luke are agreeing that Jesus’ birth took place in Bethlehem. In Matthew’s Gospel there is an impression that states Mary and Joseph have always lived in Bethlehem the reason why they ended up in Narezeth is because there are so many dangerous Herods in the South. In Luke’s Gospel it states that both Mary and Joseph are from Nazareth because the Roman Empire was decreeing for everyone to return to ancestral birthlands that they came from so there could be an enrollment of a consensus and they would return after the birth of Jesus.

The foundation of Christian faith is found from Jesus’ resurrection. If we did not have the resurrection the belief that God would be saving grace through Jesus Christ would be destroyed. Jesus’ resurrection was real literal and rising that was physical of his body from the dead. He was arrested, tried, and was guilty of claiming to be a king. He had his body hung on a cross that was between two thieves. After Jesus died, he was wrapped in clothes that were linen and was placed into the tomb that across the opening had stone that was large.

There are a few things that have history that is greater certainly because it is stated that Christ died on the cross. There is a nature and extent of Jesus’ death indicates that he suffered injuries. He was beaten and whipped several times. The crucifixion’s nature assures that death has happened. There are many people who read the canonical gospels and notice that some of the sayings and stories of Jesus are similar. In the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke contain the same exact words that are in the same order- and it is very astonishing.
