Religion 120/Who is Jesus?

What have I learned in Religion 120: The New Testament

This course has changed how I think about the Bible and specifically the New Testament because originally I knew very little about the bible besides the basic stories you learned in Sunday school. I enjoyed reading the different books and learning how other people viewed and interpreted the life and teachings of Jesus. I also learned a lot from watching the movies and writing the papers because it allowed me to make connections between real life and the concepts in the bible. This class is my last religion class and I am happy to have learned and experienced so much by simply being in the class.

Who is Jesus?

1. Describe Jesus in one paragraph. You may focus on any image or understanding of Jesus that you wish.
Jesus is a symbol of Christianity and all that is pure and influential in the lives of Christians. Having gone through The New Testament in Religion 120 my opinion about whom he was has not changed. He is a savior who gave the ultimate sacrifice, his life, so that everyone who followed him would have his or her sins forgiven. He is the person I look to for guidance, support, and love. When my life seems to go astray I remember Jesus and the sacrifices he made for me and because of that I am able to continue on with my life.

2. Now describe Jesus in one sentence.

Jesus is my savior who is always there to comfort me and guide me when I need some one the most.

3. Finally, describe Jesus in one word and attach a simple image that represents him.
