Behold the Man Free FREE BEHOLD THE MAN PDF Michael Moorcock | 160 pages | 12 Jun 2014 | Orion Publishing Co | 9780575080997 | English | London, United Kingdom John KJV - Then came Jesus forth, wearing the - Bible Gateway Behold the Man is a science fiction novel by British writer Michael Moorcock. And Pilate said to them Behold the Man. In the novel, Moorcock weaves an existentialist tale about Karl Glogauer, a man who travels from the year in a time machine to 28 AD, where he hopes to meet the historical Jesus of Nazareth. The story Behold the Man with Karl's violent arrival Behold the Man the Holy Land of AD 28, where his time machine, a womb-like, fluid-filled sphere, cracks open and becomes useless. By interpolating numerous memories and flashbacks, Moorcock tells the parallel story Behold the Man Karl's troubled past in 20th century London, and tries to Behold the Man why he's willing to risk everything to meet Jesus. We learn that Karl has chronic problems with women, homosexual tendencies, an interest in the ideas of Jungand many neuroses Behold the Man, including a messiah complex. Karl, badly injured during his journey, crawls halfway out of the time machine, then faints. John the Baptist and a group of Essenes find him there, and take him back to their community, where they care for him for some time. Since the Essenes witnessed his miraculous arrival in the time machine, John decides Karl must be a magusand asks him to help lead a revolt against the occupying Romans. When he asks Karl to baptise him, however, the latter panics and flees into the Behold the Man, where he wanders alone, hallucinating from heat and thirst. He then makes his way to Nazareth in search of Jesus. When he finds Mary and JosephMary turns out to be little more than a whore, and Joseph, a bitter old man, sneers openly at Behold the Man claim to have been impregnated by an angel. Worse, their child Jesus is a profoundly intellectually disabled hunchback who incessantly repeats the only word he knows: Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. Karl, however, is so deeply committed to the idea of a real, Behold the Man Jesus that, at this point, he himself begins to step into the role, gathering followers - carefully choosing ones whose names are identical with those attested in the Gospels- repeating what parables he can recall, and using psychological tricks to simulate miracles. When there's no food, he shows the people how to pretend to eat to take their minds off their hunger; when he encounters illness caused by hysteriahe cures it. Gradually, it becomes known that his name is Jesus of Nazareth. In the end, determined to live the story of Jesus to its decidedly bitter end, he orders a puzzled Judas to betray him to the Romans, and dies on the cross. His last, agonised words, however, Behold the Man not Eloi, eloi, lama sabachthanibut the phonetically similar English it's a lie After Karl's death on the cross, the body is stolen by a doctor who believed the Behold the Man had magical properties, leading to rumours that he did not die. The doctor is disappointed when the body begins to rot as any normal human would. Karl Behold the Man, in a slightly different incarnation, is the lead character in Moorcock's novel Breakfast in the Ruins - in the course of which he experiences no less than 17 additional incarnations, at various key Behold the Man of 20th Century history. In his series The Dancers at the End of Timea similar time machine is used, which reveals that if a time traveller dies in the past, he is violently thrust back to the future, thus explaining Glogauer's reappearance.

"Behold The Man!" :: "Behold The Man!" - Arno Clemens Gaebelein A few months ago I received Behold the Man letter from a family friend whom we had not seen for many years. Her letter was an expression of hopelessness and a plea for help. After struggling to raise her children as a single mother, she was now remarried. Her nonmember husband was Behold the Man rough outdoorsman who attempted to express his manhood through drinking, foul language, tough talk, and questionable behavior. Her plea to me: Is there some way, even though separated by great distances, that I might speak to her son, whom we shall call Ben, about the characteristics of true manhood? In answer to that plea, tonight I shall attempt to respond. We all seek acceptance and recognition as we enter the adult world. Adulthood comes to us one way or another if we live long enough. True manhood, however, comes only if and when we earn it. Satan is known as the great deceiver. His religion, Behold the Man philosophy, and his work is based on deception and lies. He would have us believe that he is the man and that his ways bring us to Behold the Man. By contrast, Jesus voluntarily submitted Himself Behold the Man the will of the Father. As a result He was betrayed, accused, beaten, and judged. His sacrifice was not mandatory. It was borne out of courage, duty, and love, and it led Him to the bitter cup that caused Him to bleed from every pore. After Pilate had witnessed the enormous suffering and humiliation of Jesus and even argued for His release, he finally succumbed to the demands of the Jews. Yes, Jesus is the man. He possesses all characteristics of the true, ideal man. Ben, every young man must choose between good and evil and between the ways of God and the ways of Satan. When a young man begins to smoke Behold the Man prove he is a man, whose man is he becoming? When a young man begins drinking, takes drugs, participates in immorality, is boisterous or unruly, whose man is he becoming? It has been said that many a boy begins smoking as a teenager to prove he is a man, and he tries to quit at age 30 for the same reason. There is Behold the Man manhood in succumbing to Satan. There is no manhood in being defeated by his principles. So, Ben, with Behold the Man background, let me give you my Behold the Man for true manhood. Because of time constraints, I limit myself to only two criteria of what could be many:. A Behold the Man man is humble enough to submit himself to the redemptive powers of the Savior. I suppose it is natural for us to equate strength, machoism, and maybe even boisterous and aggressive behavior with manhood. However, the attributes of true manhood are not necessarily physical. Let me attempt to explain. Real courage includes standing against the evil one, even when we stand alone, Behold the Man feeling the disdain and the ridicule of others. This is courage. This is strength. This is manhood, and it can be tough. I know a young man who was thrilled to be selected for an all-star basketball team to play in a tournament in another state. The first evening at the hotel, the other roommates decided to watch pornographic movies. This boy left the room and walked the city by himself well into the night until the movies were over. I am sure it was embarrassing, lonely, and challenging. But that is courage; that is manhood in its truest sense. I know hundreds of young men who have withstood ridicule and embarrassment to turn down drugs, alcohol, and sex in order to turn to serve one another, provide a righteous example, or defend the principles of righteousness. All young men must face the wiles of Satan. It is impossible to escape this fight. But it is always possible to come out victorious. Yes, a true man is strong enough to withstand the wiles of Satan. Ben, some burdens that we are called to bear are so heavy that we Behold the Man only conquer them through humility, submissiveness, and Behold the Man. We all fall victim to the tempter to some degree. Those who have committed serious transgression must follow the carefully planned path of repentance provided by the Savior and often directed by a bishop or stake Behold the Man. This becomes the true test of manhood, and not all are man enough to meet this challenge. Some months ago I was given the assignment to interview a young man, 21 years old, to determine if his repentance was sufficient for him to serve a mission. My heart ached as I read of the serious problems and transgressions in his past. I wondered if it would be possible that one with such a background could ever prepare himself to worthily serve a mission.

  • Sermon on the Mount – Beatitudes
    Sermon on the Mount: BEATITUDES John Stott A chapter extracted from the book “Sermon on the Mount” 1) THE POOR IN SPIRIT It has already been mentioned that the Old Testament supplies the necessary background against which to interpret this beatitude. At first to be ‘poor’ meant to be in literal, material need. But gradually, because the needy had no refuge but God, ‘poverty’ came to have spiritual overtones and to be identified with humble dependence on God. Thus the psalmist designated himself ‘this poor man’ who cried out to God in his need, ‘and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his t r o u b l e s’. The ‘poor man’ in the Old Testament is one who is both afflicted and unable to save himself, and who therefore looks to God for salvation, while recognizing that he has no claim upon him. This kind of spiritual poverty is specially commended in Isaiah. It is ‘the poor and needy’, who ‘seek water and there is none, and their tongue is parched with thirst’, for whom God promises to ‘open rivers on the bare heights, and fountains in the midst of the valleys’, and to ‘make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water’. The ‘poor’ are also described as people with ‘a contrite and humble spirit’; to them God looks and with them (though he is ‘the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy’) he is pleased to dwell. It is to such that the Lord’s anointed would proclaim good tidings of salvation, a prophecy which Jesus consciously fulfilled in the Nazareth synagogue: ‘The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.’ Further, the rich tended to compromise with surrounding heathenism; it was the poor who remained faithful to God.

  • John 19:1-16 Ecce Homo in Case Your Latin Is a Bit Rusty, the Sermon Title
    John 19:1-16 Ecce Homo In case your Latin is a bit rusty, the sermon title means “Behold the man” and was the title of a best selling devotional book in Great Britain 150 years ago, and at least a couple of movies about Jesus’ life have an actor playing the part of Pilate pointing to Jesus and speaking these Latin words “Ecce Homo.” Is this really what Pilate said? Did Pilate have a translator with him at all times; what languages are being spoken here in these scenes with Jesus and the priests and the Roman governor of Palestine: Aramaic or Latin or Greek or Hebrew? Did the High Priest understand Latin, the official language of the Empire, or would Pilate have presented the bloody and beaten Jesus to the priests with the Greek phrase from the New Testament “idou ho anthropos?” Greek being the universal language in the ancient world. Perhaps Pilate spoke a little Hebrew and so his words would have been “hinneh ish,” a phrase that happens to come from a passage by the prophet Zechariah (6:10-12). Listen to this word of the Lord from that Old Testament book, “Behold the man whose name is the Branch; for he shall build the temple of the Lord…and shall bear royal honor, and shall sit upon his throne and rule.” Yes, that sounds like he could be talking about Jesus. Does Pilate unwittingly prophesy about Jesus? An interesting idea, because more than once God has used unbelieving rulers and nations to do his will- even calling King Cyrus of Persia the Anointed One, that is, the Messiah (Isaiah 45:1).

  • Ecce Homo Mission
    PRESENTATION OF MISSION ECCE HOMO 1. I want to begin by thanking you for being here this evening. The mere fact that you have accepted the invitation shows that your Christian life matters to you, that there is in you a desire to grow in your friendship with Christ. If you remember, just a few Sundays ago, we heard at Holy Mass of the moment when two men, the youthful John and the sensible Andrew, met the Lord for the first time. To the question: "Where do you live?", Jesus answered them with the "Come and see" that would be for them the beginning of a new life. (Jn 1:38-39). I also asked you to “come and hear” this evening, although in reality, I have little to do with this story. You are here following a prompting of the Holy Spirit. It is He who has gently drawn you to this Mass, to this church, on this night. He has called you, but now it is up to each of you to give an answer. See Mission Ecce Homo as an outstretched hand, a help that the Lord offers to those who wish to set out on this journey. I want to explain up front the commitments that those of you who wish to get on this boat will assume. The boat will set sail on Sunday, February 14th, and will sail through the sea of Holy Lent until it reaches the port of the Easter Triduum, where we will contemplate the mystery of a God who will give his life for us.

  • English Bartolomé Esteban Murillo Fourth Centenary
    ENGLISH BARTOLOMÉ ESTEBAN MURILLO FOURTH CENTENARY To mark the four hundredth anniversary of Murillo’s birth, this museum has brought together fifty-five of his works. Universal artist identified with Seville, inter- preting the themes of the city’s devotion, dec- orating some of its most emblematic monu- ments with his paintings, and capturing its residents from all walks of life on his canvases. The exhibition is organised around thematic criteria reflecting the painter’s personal vision of the religious and civic context in which he lived. His profound, intuitive and eminently humane eye enabled him to render that con- text in an inspiring manner, whether he was painting beggars or nobles. His creative skill and sincere spirituality are also clearly mani- fested in the devotional paintings he produced, which are filled with details of daily life, while his moving conception of the transcendental is [ 2 ] [ 3 ] conveyed through images that are both highly original and beautiful. The nine sections into which the exhibition is divided provide a glimpse of the world through Murillo’s eyes: from the religious paintings which introduced such memorable prototypes in the history of art—with a particular exper- tise in the case of the Immaculate Concep- tion—to the social reality of 17th-century Se- ville, a city of paupers and saints, of rascals and wealthy noblemen and merchants who could afford to have their portraits painted by the famous master. This exhibition provides a unique opportunity to revisit many of his works and discover new ones. Above all, it is a chance to see how Mu- rillo combines his genius use of technical and I.
