The historians of JESUS’ time
Publius Cornelius Tacitus (56 –117 AD) was a senator and a
historian of the Roman Empire. His writings indicate that
Christ who had been crucified had risen from the grave.
~~~
Pliny the Younger (61–112 AD) was the Roman governor of
Bithynia. In a letter to Emperor Trajan , he discussed the
merits of Christianity and that CHRIST was a man who lived
and left high moral teachings for HIS Followers.
~~~
Josephus (37-98 AD) points out that JESUS was the Christ. He
was a Jewish historian. He was not a Christian but he
recognized that JESUS met the prophesies of the Messiah.
JESUS first recorded miracle
It is written in John 2:1-5 And the third day there was a marriage in
Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: And both
Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. And when
they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have
no wine. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with
thee? mine hour is not yet come. His mother saith unto the
servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. (continue)
JESUS’ first recorded miracle
John 2:6-11 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after
the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three
firkins apiece. Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with
water. And they filled them up to the brim. And he saith unto
them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And
they bare it. When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that
was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants
which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the
bridegroom, And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth
set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that
which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. This
beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested
forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
They became “Fishers of men”.
Luke 5:1-5 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed
upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of
Gennesaret, And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the
fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their
nets. And he entered into one of the ships, which was
Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little
from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out
of the ship. Now when he had left speaking, he said unto
Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for
a draught. And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we
have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing:
nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
(continue)
They became “Fishers of men”.
Luke 5:6-11 And when they had this done, they inclosed a
great multitude of fishes: and their net brake. And they
beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship,
that they should come and help them. And they came, and
filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. When Simon
Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart
from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. For he was
astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the
fishes which they had taken: And so was also James, and
John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon.
And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou
shalt catch men. And when they had brought their ships to
land, they forsook all, and followed him.
CHRIST calmed the sea
Matthew 8:23-27 And when he was entered into a ship, his
disciples followed him. And, behold, there arose a great
tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with
the waves: but he was asleep. And his disciples came to him,
and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. And he
saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then
he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was
a great calm. But the men marvelled, saying, What manner
of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!
(Mark 4:35-41; Luke 8:22-25)
JESUS fed 5,000
Luke 9:10-13 And the apostles, when they were returned, told him
all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately
into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida. And the
people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them,
and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them
that had need of healing. And when the day began to wear away,
then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude
away, that they may go into the towns and country round about,
and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place. But
he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no
more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy
meat for all this people. (continue)
JESUS fed 5,000
Luke 9:14-17 For they were about five thousand men. And he said
to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company. And
they did so, and made them all sit down. Then he took the five
loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed
them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the
multitude. And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was
taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.
(Matthew 14:13-21; Mark 6:32-44; John 6:1-13)
JESUS walked on the water
John 6:15-21 When Jesus therefore perceived that they
would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he
departed again into a mountain himself alone. And when
even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,
And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward
Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to
them. And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.
So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty
furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh
unto the ship: and they were afraid. But he saith unto them,
It is I; be not afraid. Then they willingly received him into the
ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they
went. (Matthew 14:22-33; Mark 6:45-51)
JESUS fed 4,000
Matthew 15:32-35 Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and
said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they
continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and
I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.
And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so
much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?
And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And
they said, Seven, and a few little fishes. And he commanded
the multitude to sit down on the ground.
(continue)
JESUS fed 4,000
Matthew 15:36-39 And he took the seven loaves and the
fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his
disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. And they did all
eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat
that was left seven baskets full. And they that did eat were
four thousand men, beside women and children. And he
sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the
coasts of Magdala. (Mark 8:1-10)
Money in the fish
Matthew 17:24-27 And when they were come to Capernaum, they
that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not
your master pay tribute? He saith, Yes. And when he was come
into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou,
Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute?
of their own children, or of strangers? Peter saith unto him, Of
strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.
Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea,
and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and
when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of
money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.
Withered Fig Tree
Matthew 21:18-22 Now in the morning as he returned into the
city, he hungered. And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came
to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it,
Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the
fig tree withered away. And when the disciples saw it, they
marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away! Jesus
answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have
faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the
fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou
removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. And all
things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall
receive. (Mark 11:12-24)
The second catch of fish
John 21:1-5 After these things Jesus shewed himself again to
the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed
he himself. There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas
called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the
sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples. Simon Peter
saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go
with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship
immediately; and that night they caught nothing. But when
the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but
the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. Then Jesus saith
unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him,
No. (continue)
The second catch of fish
John 21:6-10 And he said unto them, Cast the net on the
right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore,
and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of
fishes. Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto
Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was
the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was
naked,) and did cast himself into the sea. And the other
disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from
land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net
with fishes. As soon then as they were come to land, they
saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.
Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now
caught. (continue)
The second catch of fish
John 21:11-14 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land
full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all
there were so many, yet was not the net broken. Jesus saith
unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask
him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord. Jesus then
cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise.
This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his
disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.
According to the BIBLE…
We can not save ourselves. We are told in Romans 3:23 For
all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. CHRIST
died so that we would have an opportunity to be saved
(Romans 5:6-9).
~~~
Matthew 28:18-20 And Jesus came and spake unto them,
saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have
commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto
the end of the world. Amen.
The Beginnings of CHRIST’S CHURCH
At Pentecost, the Apostles were given the ability to speak
with men and women from all nations . We are told in Acts
2:37-38 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in
their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the
apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter
said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized
in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and
you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”
We believe that the BIBLE is very
clear about what one must do to
be saved of his’ sins.
Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by
the word of God.
Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but
he that believeth not shall be damned.
Luke 13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise
perish.
Romans 10:9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord
Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him
from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man
believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is
made unto salvation.
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized
every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of
sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Revelation 2:10 b be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee
a crown of life.
