A Potrait of Jesus
Chapter one talked about Jesus growing up. I thought it was weird how his friends were around Him for thrity years and He didn't really show many signs of being very holy and religious. He was more concerned about his father, but he never was afraid to have a good time at party's. I liked chapter two. He talked about how you don't have to be perfect to be saved. All you have to do is love. Jesus gives many examples of how if we commit sins and still love, God still loves and accepts us. Chapter two also talked about why people liked Jesus. He was laid back and didn't force his followers to accept outrageous laws like many of the pharisees did. Chapter three was mostly about the laws of the church. It talked about how the sabbath was made for man and not man for the sabbath. We need to learn how to do good acts and love instead of not loving and just keeping strict laws. In chapter four the author talked about how Jesus was very laid back and went to many parties. He talked to many sinners like Zacchaeus and his friends. It was the religious leaders who was giving Jesus his bad name, not samaritans. It also talked about marriage and divorce in the church and how a long time ago it was illegal to divorce and many people we
Chapter 11 talked about how Jesus used scripture to teach. I disagree about when the author says Jesus is so simplistic is scripture. It is really hard for me to understand the bible. Jesus was a genius. He knew exactly what he was doing and why he was doing it. He also gave us many gifts. I agree with what the author said in chapter 9. About how Jesus came to Earth for a purpose. I think the purpose was to teach poeple to love and to make all of us free from Satan. Chapter 15 showed how compassionate Jesus was. He wanted to reconcile the entire human race. Jesus' dying on the cross showed how much he loves and cares for us. We all need to show him how much we love him. I didn't like chapter 13 because it was so short. I think the author could have talked a little more about that other place than he did. I did like how he said that many Christians are more concerned about avoiding hell than drawing themselves close to God. I think that Jesus loves all of us and we all have a good chance of getting to heaven. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In conclusion I really liked this book. It tells a story about Jesus without having to read scriptures. It gave me a better understanding of how Jesus lived his life. I agreed with most of what the author said. I am glad I took the time to actually rea
