Q1. (Colossians 1:15a, 19) The great understanding of Judaism was that God is spirit, not physical. That he is invisible. Any idol that tries to depict him is blasphemous. So what is the significance of the statement that Jesus is

Q4. (Colossians 1:12-13) What are the three or four action verbs in verses 12 and 13 that paint a picture of salvation? Who performs the action? Who is it performed on? In what way were we

Q1. (Colossians 1:5-6) Paul glorifies the gospel, the good news. What words does he use to describe the action of the gospel in verses 5 and 6? Given the temptation the recipients have to adopt another religious philosophy, why do you think he reminds them of the world scope of the gospel

Q1. (Revelation 5:5) Why is the Lamb called "the Lion of the tribe of Judah" and "the Root of David"? What do these titles signify about him? "The Lion of the tribe of Judah" refers to Jacob's ancient prophecy over his son Judah (Genesis 49:8-12), picturing Judah as "a lion's cub" and a "crouching lion," from whose tribe, the Jews believed, would come the Messiah: I believe that this is the reason that Christ is call the Lion of Judah. He will like the lion be King over all not just a few. The Root of David is the sign that Jesus is of the family of David the son of Jesse.It shows that again like David was King Jesus will be King and rule over all things.

Q1. What is the word used in the Bible instead of "rapture"? When will the resurrection take place in relation to Christ's return? In relation to judgment? In relation to glory? (This is NOT the place to debate various theories of the rapture and the millennium.) Gathering, When Jesus appears again He will call the angels will sound a trumpet and the dead will rise and we who are still alive will be changed. At that time all will be judged some to condemnation and the rest to live with Christ in glory

Q2. What comparisons do you see between Jesus and the role of the Old Testament type of the Kinsman-Redeemer? He compared in the real sense that He died and paid the ransom price for all our sins. In the physical sense He gave all He had his body to pain and suffering to free us from the wrath of an avenging God. In the spiritual sense that He left a glorious home to come to earth and live as a man to teach us how to live. He saved us from our selves.

2. On the theft theory, what motive might the disciples have to take Jesus' body? What motive might the Romans have? The Jews? Joseph of Arimathea? I can think of no reason for the disciples to steal the body of Jesus, they feared the Romans and the Jewish leaders so getting caught would have meant certain death. The Romans had no motive they had Jesus where they thought they wanted Him behind a stone wall. The Jews had no reason either they want Jesus dead and didn't want any one to think He had risen that why they posted the guard. Joseph was a disciple of Jesus and would not have a reason since he is the one who placed Jesus in the tomb.

Q2. (Genesis 48) Why does Jacob cross his hands when blessing Ephraim and Manasseh? Why does Joseph try to stop him? In what sense are Jacob

Q1. In the New Testament world, what class of humans were freed by payment of a redemption price or a ransom? Why do you think that Jesus, Peter, and Paul used this analogy in this week's theme verses. What about the Christian life does it help explain? Exposition The lower class working people who couldn't pay their debts were often taken in slavery till family or friend could pay their debt and redeem them. People taken in wars were often made work as slaves and could only be redeemed by another war where the winner freed them from being slaves. Jesus is our redeemer He paid our sin debt that we have not way of paying or anyone else who would be able to pay it for us. The christian life is a living explanation of redemption the reason to live for Christ is that He is our saviour who died for us and paid the debt that we can't pay.

Q1. What do you think motivates liberal Christian scholars to explain away the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ? Why would they claim that it is unhistorical more than some other event in the first century? They are afraid to defend their belief out of only faith. They have a world view that they must have some proof. They claim it is unhistorical because they have no oral proof or witness for it and can not find any other repeating of the event so they try and disclaim it us they don't have to answer to the worldly view.

Q1. (Genesis 47:9) In what sense is life on earth like a

Q5. Which single New Testament passage best sums up for you the lessons of Isaiah 53? Why did you chose this passage? List of NT Allusions to Isaiah 53 The Son of Man must be lifted up. I believe it because Jesus spoke it and it gives us the knowledge that He can and willing died for us he was our Lamb our Sacrifice for our sin not any of His own He was pure and Holy and gave Himself up for us. 1. Bears our sin as a substitutionary atonement, 2. Receives the punishment due to us on account of our sin, 3. Acts voluntarily as a sacrifice for us, 4. Performs the cleansing and justifying roles of a priest, and 5. Is finally exalted and vindicated by God in resurrection from the dead.

Q5. What is the difference between Jesus' resurrection and his ascension? How do the two fit together? In what sense is the ascension the completion of the resurrection? The resurrection was when He rose from the dead and came out of the tomb. His ascension was when He returned to the Father and returned to His rightful place as the Son of the Living God.

Q4. What do we know from the Gospels about the properties of Jesus' resurrection body? What was he capable of in this new body? He was able to pass through burial clothing, and doors. He was able to eat, talk, walk and be seen by others. He was touchable and could be heard. The wounds, holes in His hands were still there.His body was a resurrected body annointed by the Father to do anything that He required it to do. We know this because He told the women not to touch Him because He had not accended to the Father.

Q4. (Genesis 46:2-4) Faith is what quiets our fears. What in God

Q4. The Servant also bears the punishment deserved by sinners. In what sense, if any, did Jesus bear the punishment due you when he died on the cross? He was punished by God for the sin that He carried to the cross for us so that we would not suffer the Wrath of God.

Q3. Isaiah 53 teaches what theologians call "the substitutionary atonement." In what sense does the Servant act as a substitute to bear our sins? Put it in your own words. He took upon Himself the punishment that our sins deserve. He was punished in a way that we can't truly understand so that the wrath of God would not be inflicted on us sinner even though we deserve it, Grace took place and we were forgiven as He died for us.
