Jesus Christ: Superstar or Superman? (Hindustan Times)

The characterisation of Christ has always been complicated by different streams of thought that only serve to make him more fascinating.

He did not drink, was not known to womanise; for him, Jesus was a friend and hero and he wanted to be kingmaker, but his self-esteem wanted him to rebel. As a healer, he must have tapped the wellsprings of his humanity; as a miracle-maker he would have trained in exercises of self-control; and as a prophet he probably was a lesson in humility. It is suggested that while he initially refused poison on the Cross to lessen his pain, later Christian sources claim that he relented and took the “vinegar”, wine spoiled by poison. Besides the theological reason that he was “bitterly antagonistic to Jesus for his claim to the high priesthood and his opposition to ritual law”, there are psychological aspects too. She was aware she was treading on holy territory: “If the reading of it is a serious difficulty now, it is because the person of Jesus has been allowed to lose all humanity, contrary to the Church’s own desire to teach full humanity with divinity. It was believed that he was “affirming his right to continue the dynasty”. Mary — or Miriam — was not a name but a title of prophetess given to a woman in the Ministry. It has rarely achieved such a balance for the natural reason that it is almost impossible to hold both concepts together.” This might come as a surprise, if not travesty, but even if divorce was not permitted between a Christian couple, if one partner was a non-believer — as Mary was — the matter was deemed personal. A reader could also perceive him as a Sufi, rising above his fallibilities for, as the New Testament has said about him, “Because he himself has suffered and been tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.” She may have been referred to as one “from whom seven demons had gone out”, yet certain researchers were convinced that Jesus held her in such high esteem that after a three-year trial marriage as per the prevalent custom, he did wed Mary Magdalene when Jonathan was Pope. But she also iterates that it does not mean that “because an illusory ideal of a perfect human life fails, the Church has no more resources for moral teaching”.

COLEMAN: The good news of Jesus Christ - Odessa American (Odessa American)

By Landon Coleman. Pastor, Immanuel. As we come to the end of 2022 and the beginning of 2023, I pray that you know the good news of Jesus Christ.

If, by the grace of God and the work of the Holy Spirit, you will repent of your sin and believe the good news, you will be saved. God will forgive you of all your sins, declare you righteous, adopt you into his family as a child, fill you with the Holy Spirit, and give you eternal life. Repent of your sin and believe the good news. The call of Jesus on your life is remarkably simple. He is one in essence, and he is three in person. This good news is rooted in the truth about the one true God, the Creator of the heavens and the earth.

Jesus' humble birth tells everything - Odessa American (Odessa American)

This is Italian artist Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio's depiction of the adoration of the shepherds on the night of the birth of Jesus Christ.

“Jesus was not born in a palace or with the religious leaders,” he said. It shows that he is the God for everybody.” “Then there was the humble birth in a manger. “We gave and received gifts, but we were also told the Christmas story about Jesus,” he said. “My parents and grandparents were very generous people,” he said. “Our country has made it about everything except what it’s supposed to be about,” said the Rev.

The Birth of Jesus Christ (inkfreenews.com)

The Advent. (Luke 2:1-7): That Jesus would be born in Bethlehem was ordained by God long before Caesar Augustus made his decree (Micah 5:2; Acts 15:18). The ...

We must not assume that at the age of 12 Jesus understood as much as he did when he launched his ministry at the age of 30 (Luke 3:23); for Luke makes it clear that he “increased in wisdom” (verse 52). (Luke 2:41-52): Jesus was “filled with wisdom” (verse 40) and his questions and answers amazed the teachers in the temple. The shepherds, like the angels before them, glorified and praised God (verse 20). Yet in his grace, God gave the first announcement of the savior’s birth to lowly shepherds! (Luke 2:8-20): In that day, shepherds were considered to be at the lowest rung of the social ladder. Jesus must have been born in one of the cattle stalls; the feeding trough was his bed.

ANGEL THOUGHTS. On the way to Bethlehem, a pregnant Mary atop a horse with a very concerned Joseph guiding the animal to a safe place for her to give birth.

] [20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.] [21 On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise the child, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he was conceived.] Joseph, for following the angel’s advice to not be afraid to take Mary as your spouse because she was a virgin overshadowed by the Holy Spirit and would bear a son who would save mankind! ] [9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. ] [17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, ] [18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. ] [5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. Here is apostle Luke’s narrative of The Birth of Jesus Christ preserved for all generations.

What do Christian Bale, Jim Caviezel, Willem Dafoe, Will Ferrell, Ralph Fiennes, John Legend, and Ewan McGregor have in common, apart from being actors?

Taylor surveys the historical evidence, and the prevalent image of Jesus in art and culture, to suggest an entirely different vision of this most famous of men. Did he have Jason Manoa's hair? Did he have brown eyes or green, perhaps blue?

The 25 Stops of Jesus and the Holy Family in Egypt (Greek Reporter)

Twenty-five locations in Egypt make up the trail that Joseph, Mary and infant Jesus followed as they fled King Herod's soldiers.

Joseph, Maty and Jesus arrived in Gebel al‑Tayr in al‑Minya, then proceeded to Asyut, where the al‑Muharraq Monastery is located.

According to legend, Joseph might have labored at the Fortress. They then reached Kafr al-Sheikh in the Delta and passed through Tell Basta in al‑Sharqiyyah and Samannud in al‑Gharbiyyah. All three of them are located in Old Cairo, which makes them easily accessible to foreign visitors. The Church of Virgin Mary in Maadi is believe to mark the exact site from which the Holy Family crossed the Nile to Mit Rahina, and from there traveled to Upper Egypt.
