The lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
A:In the Book of Hebrews, Jesus is presented as the high priest in heaven, greater than the high priests on earth. He is better than the angels, who are commanded to worship him. Jesus is the second Moses, but superior to him. Finally, Jesus is the son of God. He is not equal to God, but God has made Jesus his heir. It is not entirely clear in this book whether Jesus has lived on earth as a physical man, but either view could be argued. Certainly there are apparent references to his crucifixion, but the ancients could believe in a crucifixion in heaven.
Jesus viewed God as His Father, but not only that but we are told in John 5:18, ".....Jesus also said that God was His father, making Himself equal with God". Philippians 2:6, "Jesus who being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God." Jesus Christ presented Himself to the world as God because He was God. Jesus said to Thomas in John 14: 6-7, Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one come to the father except through me. If you would had known Me, you would have known My Father also." Jesus and the Father are one.
The man Jesus is talking to presented himself as a worshipper, calling Jesus "Good Teacher" and expressing an expectation of eternal life. For Jesus to command him to worship God would be redundant.
At the birth of Jesus, three gifts were presented to him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
Gold, frankincense, and myrrh were the gifts presented to Jesus upon his birth.
The three gifts of the Magi presented to Jesus were gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
The three gifts presented to Jesus by the wise men were gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
Jesus was presented in the temple to the priest Simon, as he was dedicated there.
Yes, Isa (peace be upon him) is the name in Arabic language of Jesus. While Jesus is mentioned for His works and existence as a prophet by Muslims, He is not represented in entirety as is presented in the Bible. For instance, Colossians 2:9 refers to Christ in this manner: "For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily." Jesus is presented repeatedly as "God with us." Matthew 1:25. In John 1, He is presented again as Creator God: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made." verses 1-3. In verse14, it says, speaking of Jesus: " And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." This is not presented as such in the Qur'an, nor in Islamic literature. In Biblical Christianity, Jesus, while talking about the same person, is not the same in character as Isa is seen in Islam.
The presentation of Jesus in the temple is significant because it fulfills Jewish religious customs and prophecies. It symbolizes Jesus' dedication to God and his role as the Messiah. It also foreshadows his sacrifice and redemption for humanity.
The three gifts presented to baby Jesus by the Three Kings symbolize different aspects of his identity and purpose. The gold represents his kingship, the frankincense symbolizes his divinity, and the myrrh foreshadows his suffering and death. These gifts were meant to honor and acknowledge Jesus as the Son of God and the Savior of the world.
