ISSN 2151-7800 (print), 2168-3166 (online) Abstract Because clothing has a social function by which we define ourselves in relation to others, the rites of investiture and divestiture are often used within a given community as the individual moves from one social environment to another. These two rites can be used to examine the social progression of Adam and Eve via the fall, the symbolic movement from the mortal sphere to the divine sphere as represented with the veil, as well as the Christ-like nature of Tabitha who, like Christ himself, clothed others, thus giving them meaning and place within the community of believers. Clothed with Salvation: The Garden, the Veil, Tabitha, and Christ Daniel Belnap andwiched between the account of Saul’s conversion in Acts S9 and Peter’s vision of the Gentiles in Acts 10 is the story of the raising of Tabitha.

  • Christ's Passion in John: Pontius Pilate
    “Christ’s Passion In John: Pontius Pilate” March 29, 2020 John 18:28-19:16 SI: It’s just two weeks until Easter. We’re spending these Sundays preparing for our celebration of Christ’s resurrection by meditating on his passion as recorded in John’s gospel. What makes John’s account of Christ’s passion interesting is that John wrote it in his old age, after he had had a lifetime of reflecting on the meaning and spiritual significance of these events. All the Gospel writers tell us about Jesus’ trial before Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor. But John spends more time on the trial than Matthew, Mark, or Luke and he emphasizes one theme over and over. As I read, take note of how many times the words king and kingdom appear. INTRO: Someone in our church asked me a good question this week. He asked if I felt the need to preach on a passage of Scripture that specifically applies to the corona virus pandemic. I asked him if he thought the Ten Plagues of Egypt would be a good passage and he said he was thinking about something from the book of Revelation— like the Rider on the Pale Horse who kills a fourth of mankind with sword, famine, and plague. We both laughed nervously about that one. It’s a good question. A preacher can’t be tone deaf to what’s on people’s minds. The Sunday after September 11, I preached on that passage in the Gospels where Jesus says to his disciples—Do you see these magnificent buildings? Not one stone will be left on another, every one of them will be torn down.

  • The Gospel According to Matthew
    1 The Gospel According to Matthew Lesson #31 – Ch.27 Jesus is delivered to Pilate – Matthew 27:1-2 Judas is remorseful for his sin against Jesus – Matthew 27:3-10 Jesus is examined before Pilate – Matthew 27:11-14 Barabbas is freed by Pilate – Matthew 27:15-25 Jesus is scourged and delivered for crucifixion – Matthew 27:26-28 Jesus is lead to Golgotha – Matthew 27:29-33 Jesus is crucified – Matthew 27:34-56 Jesus is buried – Matthew 27:57-66 This week we are entering into the last week of Christ’s life here on earth. Jesus is marching toward the cross, approaching the pentacle of His life and reason why He came to earth. Many Old Testament prophets like Isaiah and Jeremiah predicted hundred of years previously that the Son of David, the Messiah would come to be offered as the final sacrifice for the sins of man and He did. Jesus spent 37 years on this earth living, serving and discipling His followers. Now, it was time to finish His task of drawing all mankind to God the Father through His death on a Roman cross. Man needed a way back to relationship with God. His sin had deposited a huge chasm between himself and God the Father, so the Lord in His desire to continue a relationship with you and I made a way to be forgiven through the death of His only Son. Through the sacrifice of Jesus, communication with Him was restored once again. As we walk through these verses in Matthew Ch.27 we will relive the scourging, beating and the crucifixion of Jesus.

  • The Seamless Robe of Jesus Jesus Had Already Been Arrested, Tried In
    The Seamless Robe of Jesus Page 1 of 3 The Seamless Robe of Jesus Jesus had already been arrested, tried in the kangaroo courts of man, and sentenced to die. Our Lord had been beaten mercilessly, mocked, spit upon; even His facial hair had been pulled out by the roots (Isaiah 5:6). The crowd mentality had taken over. The Sanhedrin, and later the soldiers, had become no more than a depraved street gang who, in their cowardice, now sink to an all-time low. Not only did they touch the only truly holy Man Who ever lived, but they dared to strike Christ. The Bible says, “And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?” (Luke 22:64). “And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands” (John 19:3). Yet, the worst was yet to come. They led Christ up the Via Dolorosa, “the way of the pain.” Our Lord travels the ascent of Calvary and they nail Him to the cross. The sickening sound of simultaneous popping occurs when the full weight of the cross hits the bottom of the cavity awaiting this cruel instrument of death. They heard the inimitable sound of bones coming out of joint. The pain in the hands and feet increases as our Lord moves in the slightest on the wooden crossbeam of execution. Behold our King, our Savior, our God! The Lord Jesus seems to have abdicated long before this event of all worldly “tie downs.” The Scriptures say, “And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head” (Luke 9:58).

  • On the Physical Death of Jesus.Pages
    ON THE PHYSICAL DEATH OF JESUS William D. Edwards, MD; Wesley J. Gabel, MDiv; Floyd E Hosmer, MS, AMI From the Departments of Pathology (Dr. Edwards) and Medical Graphics (Mr. Hoamer), Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn.; and the Homestead United Methodist Church, Rochester, Minn., and the West Bethel United Methodist Church, Bethel, Minn. (Pastor Gabel). Jesus of Nazareth underwent Jewish and Roman trials, was flogged, and was sentenced to death by crucifixion. The scourging produced deep stripe-like lacerations and appreciable blood loss, and it probably set the stage for hypovolemic shock, as evidenced by the fact that Jesus was too weakened to carry the crossbar (patibulum) to Golgotha. At the site of crucifixion, his wrists were nailed to the patibulum and, after the patibulum was lifted onto the upright post (stipes), his feet were nailed to the stipes. The major pathophysiologic effect of crucifixion was an interference with normal respirations. Accordingly death resulted primarily from hypovolemic shock and exhaustion asphyxia. Jesus' death was ensured by the thrust of a soldier's spear into his side. Modern medical interpretation of the historical evidence indicate that Jesus was dead when taken down from the cross. (JAMA 1986;255:1455-1463) The life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth have formed the basis for a major world religion (Christianity), have appreciably influenced the course of human history, and, by virtue of a compassionate attitude towards the sick, also have contributed to the development of modern medicine. The eminence of Jesus as a historical figure and the suffering and controversy associated with his death have stimulated us to investigate, in an interdisciplinary manner, the circumstances surrounding his crucifixion.

  • Palm Gospel Matthew 21:1-11 Jesus' Triumphal Entry Into Jerusalem
    Palm Gospel Matthew 21:1-11 Jesus’ Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem When Jesus and his disciples had come near Jerusalem and had reached Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, "Go into the village ahead of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, just say this, `The Lord needs them.' And he will send them immediately." This took place to fulfill what had been spoken through the prophet, saying, "Tell the daughter of Zion, Look, your king is coming to you, humble, and mounted on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey." The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them; they brought the donkey and the colt, and put their cloaks on them, and he sat on them. A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead of him and that followed were shouting, "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven!” When he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was in turmoil, asking, "Who is this?" The crowds were saying, "This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee." What did Jesus ride on into Jerusalem? Where did he get it? What is a “colt”? What is a “foal”? Have you ever seen a palm tree or palm fronds? What do you think the people of Jerusalem would wave them and put them on the ground before Jesus? What do you think they were feeling? Have you ever been really excited to see someone? How did you feel? What did you do? Why were the people of Jerusalem so excited to see Jesus? What do you suppose they had heard about him? The strange thing about this story is, not long after Jesus’ triumphal entry, Jesus is arrested and the people being to mock and insult Jesus.

  • Good Friday Reflection
    GOOD FRIDAY REFLECTION We have arrived at good Friday, during this week we have celebrated Jesus’ arrival into Jerusalem, we have watched hime drive out the traders in the temple, we have been with him as he celebrates what we now call the last supper with his disciples and watched on as he washed their feet. We have seen Judas’ betrayal, Jesus’ distress in the garden and the disciples willing hearts but weakness for sleep. We have seen Jesus be captured and taken away and abandoned by his disciples. And now we arrive at Good Friday, the day of Jesus’ death. This is a Good Friday reflection, I will read a verses from the bible that share some of the story of Good Friday, give a short reflection on it and then there will be response on screen. I will read this out and you can read along with me, after this it would be great if you paused for a little while to pray, play some worship music or write or draw a response. There are five sections to this reflection as we walk through Good Friday. Pray. JESUS IS CONDEMNED Matthew 27:11-14, 22-25, 26b Jesus stood before the Roman governor, who questioned him. “Are you the king of the Jews?” he asked.”So you say,” answered Jesus. But he said nothing in response to the accusations of the chief priests and elders. So Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear all these things they accuse you of?” But Jesus refused to answer a single word, with the result that the Governor was greatly surprised.

  • God's Best, Man's Worst
    The Agony of the Cross Matthew 27:27-44 Every religion and every ideology has its own symbol. For the Buddhist it is the lotus flower. Judaism has the Star of David and Islam the crescent. In the past century the communists were known for the hammer and the sickle and the Nazis for the swastika. In our day the democrats have the donkey and the republicans the elephant. Given that background some people are surprised to learn that in the beginning Christianity had no recognized symbol. In the earliest days Christians recognized each other by declaring “Jesus is Lord.” It took several generations for the cross to become the universal symbol of our faith. If you visit the catacombs of Rome, you will discover the crude drawings on the wall made by the earliest Christians in that city as they retreated underground during times of persecution. They drew pictures of Bible stories and they drew the fish, which stood as a secret acrostic for the Greek word IXTHUS—Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior. But in the earliest days they didn’t draw the cross. That would come later. John Stott (The Cross of Christ, pp. 21-46) notes that the cross did not become the common symbol of Christianity until the second century when the custom of making the sign of the cross on the forehead arose. By the time of Emperor Constantine, the cross had become well- established as “the sign” of the Christian faith. In some ways it is a strange symbol because crucifixion was so hated in the ancient world.

  • 28 Treatment of Slavery in Lloyd C Douglas' the Robe
    International Journal of English Research International Journal of English Research ISSN: 2455-2186; Impact Factor: RJIF 5.32 www.englishresearchjournal.com Volume 2; Issue 2; March 2016; Page No. 28-29 Treatment of slavery in Lloyd C Douglas’ the robe 1 Crispine Shiny, 2 Dr. Helen Unius Backiavathy 1 M. Phil., Scholar Department of English Karunya University, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India 2 Asst. Professor Department of English Karunya University, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India Abstract Lloyd C. Douglas’, The Robe is an American historical novel published in the year 1942. It unfolds the story of a Roman military tribune who commanded the unit that crucified Jesus. The novel is portrayed as an answer in the form of fiction to the question of what had happened to the Roman soldier who won the robe of Jesus through the dice. The novel depicts slave trade that was practiced in the Roman regime. The slaves were treated mercilessly and were regarded as objects. In the novel, Demetrius is the slave of Marcellus and he plays a vital role in helping his master. He is pictured as a faithful servant to his Master who toiled for his master without anticipating any gain for himself. The paper is an attempt to bring to light how the slave in the novel reduces himself to the extent of being called as an ass and camel. He was a lonely slave but he considered himself as fortunate because his companion was the robe which he held very close as if it contained some inexplicable remedy for heartache. Keywords: slave, objects, ill-treated, faithful, remedy 1.
