  • Jesus
    • The Crucifixion
      • through Jesus, God can feel suffering (the trinity)
        • God understands what the sufferer is going through
        • Jesus forgave the guards
      • Joseph from Arimathea
        • on the council but DISAGREED with the sentence
        • buried Jesus in a 'cave-like tomb'
          • rolled stone over the entrance
        • asked if he could bury Jesus
      • Sentenced by Pontius Pilate (Roman governor)
        • crucifixion was favoured by Romans
          • in public
          • One of the Romans believed Jesus had done nothing wrong
            • "Surely this man was the son of God" (Mark 15:39)
    • The Resurrection
      • on Sunday morning  (after Sabbath), some of Jesus' female friends went to bury him properly
        • these women vary between gospels
          • but ALWAYS Mary Magdalene
        • Jesus was gone
          • 1 or 2 men (maybe angels) said he had risen from the dead
            • Told them that they should tell his followers
      • Evidence for the divine nature of Jesus
      • Jesus came to Mary & disciples over the next few days/weeks
        • He told them he had risen from the dead
          • he predicted this to them when alive
      • No Christianity without it
    • The Ascension
      • asked the Disciples to continue his work on Earth
      • 40 days after Resurrection
        • Jesus left the Earth for Heaven
          • Equally possible to Resurrection
          • Shows that Jesus is with God
          • "...he left them and was taken up into heaven'" (Luke 24:50-51)
