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.
