Upon Jesus baptism He would begin the work that His Father had called Him to do. Jesus is the King and founder of His kingdom that would defeat all other kingdoms and bring all into His submission. His first encounter would be against the one who is the “prince of this world” and holder of the opposite power. The start of Jesus work on this earth would begin with the temptation though there were no previous teachings that the Messiah would have to face such temptations. One teaching proclaimed by the rabbis was that Messiah would come someday and stand upon the roof of the sanctuary and pronounce His coming.…

The stories of Jesus are represented through the four New Testament Gospels: Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John. Each Gospel emphasizes on particular principles that represent Jesus differently. Jesus is seen as the suffering Messiah in all four Gospels, but each Evangelist puts in his own intake, hence expanding on the original Markan portrait of Jesus.

The Gospel portraits vary and represent a different and evolving view of Jesus’, stories, and traditions over time.…

John 6:1-14 serves as a “reminiscent of the miraculous feeding through Moses” during the wandering in the wilderness “following their exodus from Egypt and preceding their entrance into the promised land” (Exodus 16:4-36), events commemorated by the Passover feast (Heil, 53). In John 6:1-14, Jesus feeds a crowd of about five thousand (6:10) with the overabundance of bread and fish (6:5-13) when the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near (6:4). All the events of John 6 are placed in a Passover context (6:4). The fact that a large crowd of people was following Jesus and seeing the signs He was performing on the sick (6:2) tells readers of the further signs: the theme of believing in Jesus as the sacrificial Passover lamb of God central to…

An iconic image that is very well known is “The last supper” an image of Jesus and his disciples having their last supper before Jesus was crucified on the cross. Many people in the christian faith, love the painting of that last supper because it was a touching moment and it shows how humble Jesus was when He knew He was going to be betrayed by one of his disciples, therefore, leading to crucifixion. The last supper had more of a significance to it, it was also known as the passover meal, Jesus’ command to remember what He was about to do on behalf of all mankind: shed His blood on the cross thereby paying the debt of our sins (Luke 22:19).
