assignment 2

Whenever I sin I feel ashamed and disappointed in myself, whether it was a lie or something else. The conventional wisdom tells me that sinners and outcasts are to be rejected and avoided. This makes me feel alone and even more ashamed. Jesus, however, says that everyone(even sinners) are welcomed around the table and in the kingdom of God. This allows me to become clean again because God forgives everyone. Everyone sins and God knows that, but He still loves and accepts us. Whenever you feel alone, always turn to God because He will never abandon you because He loves everyone.

Jesus was a catalyst in order to change the views of the Jewish social world. His death and ressurrection still has effect today, however, not everyone believes that Jesus was the son of God. That is why we have different religions. There are still Jews waiting for the Messiah to come. We believe that Jesus was the Messiah and saved us from sin and death. People's thoughts changed towards their beliefs. They had to decide whether they believed that Jesus is Lord, or if their savior is still coming. By the actions of Jesus and His parables and aphorisms, the people began to understand the true Lord. That God was not a god of anger and hate, but of love and forgiveness. People today don't live in fear of God, but consider Him more as a best friend. The fact that Jesus ate meals with the lowest of the low, showed how much He loved them. He didn't care about their looks or anything else, He loved them for being them. Now more and more people don't take notice to people's looks, but more so to their hearts. Thanks to Jesus, we are all beginning to love each other for who we are inside.
