Jesus Heals the Sick

 23Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. 24News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed, and he healed them.

Mark 10:46-52

Blind Bartimaeus Receives His Sight

 46Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (that is, the Son of Timaeus), was sitting by the roadside begging. 47When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

 48Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

 49Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” So they called to the blind man, “Cheer up! On your feet! He’s calling you.” 50Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus.

 51“What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him.
      The blind man said, “Rabbi, I want to see.”

 52“Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.

1. Describe in your own words the message of each Bible passage. the first one tells me that Jesus is powerful and that he is also very caring and loving towards other people. the second one also tells me that he is a loving person and is not greedy or selfish.

2. How is Jesus portrayed in the chosen passages. Jesus is shown as being powerful and also as a kind gentle person who helps everyone he can.

3. Discuss your personal response to the messages portrayed by the passages. I think that it is showing Jesus and what he has done. it is showing us more of what Jesus was like. it also shows how Jesus looked after everyone and saved many peoples lives.

4. From the portrayal draw your own image of Jesus in one of the parables.

6. List THREE things you personally would like to improve on during this project. I would like to improve on my photoshop skills, my teamwork, and also my presentation skills.

1.) There are always TWO sides to a conscience. What would Roger’s conscience be telling him? His conscience would probably be telling him to save the boy as there really is not anything to lose.

2.) Think of an example of Jesus’ teaching and explain how his teachings can help us to make an appropriate decision? Mathew chapters 5,6,7 shows Jesus teaching near the Sea of Galilee. He told them how to live to be happy and pleasing to God. this can help us make a descision by asking ourselves what would Jesus do?

Being in relationship with God requires me to acknoledge what he has done for us, and also how he died on the cross for us. To be in relationship with god we should also follow in his footsteos and follow the right path in life.
