Lazarus

000, healing the man born blind, and raising Lazarus from the dead (Barksdale 1500). These miracles served equally important purposes, one was that many were converted to Christianity, and the other was that the disciples would believe also. For example, Mary and Martha, of Bethany, sent word to Jesus that their brother Lazarus was sick and admonished him to come, so he could heal him. His disciples did not understand when Jesus referred to Lazarus as sleep, and stated, “Lord, if he has…

three poems relating to death. Death is widely use in many poems new and old. Many poets write these poems as a sort of outlet when they’re going through tough times. I chose to do the poems “I felt a funeral in my brain” by Emily Dickinson, “Lady Lazarus,” and “Daddy” by Sylvia Plath. Emily Dickinson, and Sylvia Plath’s Lives were full of death and honestly depression. As a child Emily didn’t like to be around others, but kept to herself. She was never married and even barely any of her poems…

How did we evolve? That is a question no one can answer, even scientists explained this phenomena with just a mere theory. This theory is the process by which living organisms are thought to have developed. Humans are thought to have evolved from apes and apes from fish. Moreover, science cannot prove that we are the only species in the universe, because if you think about it , the universe is infinite and is believed to be 10 billion light years in diameter containing billions of other uknown…

Liberty is a symbol to many; however, to each individual the meaning of the symbol could change drastically. In The New Colossus, by Emma Lazarus, the statue is seen as a maternal figure who nurtures the undesirables of the world; the tired, poor, huddled masses and homeless. She stands at her post illuminating the traveler’s path to the “golden door” (Lazarus). Pat Mora’s work, Immigrants, doesn’t directly reference the Statue of Liberty, but I believe that the statue makes a great visual…

NFL: An Uncertain Future Concussions have become far too common in the NFL, because helmet-to-helmet hits happen on almost every play. A huge contributor to concussions is when a player gets hit in their head by the crown of another player’s helmet. These helmet-to-helmet hits do draw penalty flags, but players are likely to continue doing it because they are used to tackling by leading with their head. Concussions are becoming more commonplace and this not only makes NFL players miss games,…

XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX It wasn’t meant to be this way. The world was supposed to be on the precipice for great and terrible things. But the terrible happened just a little too soon for humanity’s convenience. The solar flare had been predicted for years, with astrologists and others calculated how it would impact Earth. But little had they realized of the sheer intensity it provided, and the calamity that ensued. The solar flare brought…

of such values. Throughout his Gospel, Luke employs a plethora of literary techniques in Mary’s Song, Jesus’ initial Sermon, and the parables and stories of the Rich and the Kingdom of God, the Rich Fool, the Shrewd Manager, and The Rich Man and Lazarus in order to portray a theme of universality and to call followers to live simply and put aside material pursuits and worldly gains. Overall, discipleship to Jesus involves both a physical and metaphorical leveling of the playing field in front…

miracles that proved Jesus’ deity the most were those in which He proved His power over death. One instance is the resurrection of Lazarus, a man from Bethany with whom Jesus was closely acquainted, found in John 11. Word of Lazarus falling ill was sent by his sisters, Mary and Martha. Upon arriving to the house of Mary and Martha a few days later, Jesus was told that Lazarus had lain in the grave for four days. Martha approached Jesus and mourned saying if Jesus had come sooner, her brother…

to the story of Lazarus in the New Testament. Lazarus was man who met the end of his days and was at rest in a tomb. Jesus arrives to the town and is asked to raise Lazarus from the dead. Jesus asks God for the strength needed to demonstrate the powers of the Messiah and says “with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. And he that was dead came forth” (Dostoyevsky 260). In the novel, Porfiry asks whether or not Raskolnikov believes in God, and if he believes the truths behind Lazarus’ story.…

Raskolnikov becomes more and more guilt-ridden. This example, as well as others are signs of God and religion, which are prevalent and provide the plot and the theme of forgiveness significant support; Alyona’s cross, forgiveness of sin, and the story of Lazarus all add to the guilt Raskolnikov is facing. These examples all add to the difficult concealment of Raskolnikov’s murders, as each push him further to delivering his confession in the hope of forgiveness.…
