Lily Wolfe Blog: September 2016

One thing I have learned about Jesus from the presentations in class is that Jesus turned water into wine. This showed that he had a lot of power and abilities and how the people really began to believe in him after this event.
Another thing I learned was that the Three Wise Men went on a journey to find a star of Jesus that took them almost a year to find.

From the presentations, something that has formed my views on Jesus is that he is very loved. In the Joseph of Arimathea and the Three Wise Men presentations, they display that they go to great lengths for him. Joseph courageously asked the Pilate for permission to bury Jesus in his tomb and the Three Wise Men spent a year looking for a star just for Him. This shows that Jesus was very loved by many and still is.

Something I still would like to know about Jesus is how he really became known. From the video about Jesus if he had a twitter, it showed that he gained a lot of followers in a very short amount of. What I am still not clear on is what exactly he did or said to make him so popular.
I would also like to know how exactly he rose from the dead. I have heard the stories but I still do not know the actually evidence about this event. I know that it is hard to know exactly what happened because of all the different stories, rumors, and theories about his resurrection and that we celebrate this day as one of our holidays, but I still want to know what really happened.

One person in my life that has some of the same characteristics as Jesus is my Grandma. She always wants to help people and lead people to do the right thing. These characteristics are shared by Jesus as well. Jesus is a leader who helps people everyday.
Another person I know who is alike with Jesus is my sister. She is always friendly and caring and nice to everybody. This is true for Jesus too because since he is such a leading figure in a lot of peoples' lives, he is seen as a caring being that is always there for anyone.

My thoughts about Jesus is that he is a caring, supportive figure that is present in lots of people who have a strong faiths' lives. I believe that he can become visual to those who want him to. He can be seen all around us in our everyday lives when we pray or even just think about Him.

I know of Him because I learned about Him through religion classes and my family because one of my parents is Christian. Jesus is someone that will always be there for anyone who believes in him. Anyone, especially those who are Christian or Catholic, look up to Him for guidance or support.

Jesus collage made by me.

I have heard about Him through friends that are Christian or Catholic, that have a strong connection with Him. I have also been to Easter/ Christmas masses before so I have learned a lot about him through that. Mostly, I learned about Jesus during my freshman year religion classes and masses.

Because my parents have different beliefs, my family isn't particularly religious. I am open to his beliefs and can understand them, but I don't necessarily believe in them. I do believe that it is possible that he could have created the world but at the same time, I also believe in the science in that it would not be possible for one man to create everything.
