...suggests that in the gospel of John Jesus’ divinity is definite and his presence is felt on the entire world through his words and actions. This allows for the human Jesus but implies the divine Jesus is imperative. The divinity of Jesus Christ is something that is very apparent in the gospel of John. Käsemann’s quote describes Jesus as a ‘God’, which offers an immediate insight into the ‘high Christology’ of Jesus in the gospel of John. The divine Jesus far outweighs the human Jesus. From the introduction of John’s gospel the divinity of Jesus Christ is immediately addressed when John writes ‘In the Beginning..,’ implying that Jesus was there with God at the start of creation. ‘Where the other gospels’ tell us about the human origins of Jesus, John speaks about his divine origin,’ which is with God in heaven, ‘Before all things the word was.’ The fourth gospel paints Jesus as a picture of total control who has descended from heaven to perform his duties to reveal God to humanity. This is evident in the final words of Jesus Christ ‘It is finished’ , implying that Jesus made the decision to end his life. Jesus is given very powerful and direct titles in the gospel of John such as ‘Son of God’. Jesus also implies that he is omniscient and all knowing (John 21:17), characteristics which could only be associated with God. John’s Jesus is one who knows the future and what will happen. ‘Jesus therefore said, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you...

...KNOW WHO YOU ARE? Exodus 3:9-14 9 And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. 10 So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt." 11 But Moses said to God, "Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?" 12 And God said, "I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain." 13 Moses said to God, "Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' Then what shall I tell them?" 14 God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'I AM has sent me to you.' " Hmm. I have to be honest. As I rested my spirit on these verses, the lord asked me this question “do you know who I am?” I said “yes lord” I have to be honest, at that point nothing came to my spirit. this has been one of those weeks where I've had a hard time resting my spirit to hear from the Lord.... but I am pretty sure I know who my lord is...

...WHO AM I? The obvious answer to this question is that I am Kezea M, Colmo, Second Year College, taking up B.S. in Industrial Eng’g. Born to both missionary parents who currently does their ministry work in Mindanao, the place where I grew up. But this doesn't define who I really am, the answer to the question cannot be found in my birth certificate, my race, or my family name. I have to admit that who I really am can be traced to the influence, values, and life principles my parents imparted to me. As a Christian, I grew up applying Biblical principles in my life, without regrets, because it prepared me physically, emotionally and intellectually especially now that I’m living away from my parents. I am just a typical teenager, but what makes me different from the rest is that I have parents who serve as role models to me. Even though they’re miles away from me, I can feel the power of their prayers and their unconditional love. When I go through tough times, I can always depend on them for me to fulfill my life’s dreams. To me, friends are one of most important things, they’re God’s gifts. I am not the type of person who’s choosy with friends. I want to be a friend to everybody! But there are a few people that I would spend time with after school and would go to the mall or the movies, and such. But on the other hand I have friends I would never spend time with after school; they are fine has school acquaintances, but nothing much more. I am a pretty outgoing, friendly person...

...Southern University | Who AM I | FCSC 481 | | L’Asia George | 1/20/2016 | | Who am I? That’s a question most people have a difficult time answering. When I think of this question it brings Alice in Wonderland to mind; the scene when the caterpillar asked her “Who are you?” As a child I didn’t really get concept of the deeper meaning. He was trying to get her to think because, as you know she found herself in an unfamiliar place. In most cases, that’s when the real you come on the scene. I know if someone would have asked me this question three years ago I couldn’t have answered correctly. I would have given them the typical respond such as, “I am the proud daughter of”, “I am from”, etc. Afterwards they will still have not knowledge of who I am. In order for anyone to answer properly they will have to truly know themselves, and for awhile I didn’t. It wasn’t until last year that I discovered myself. College is the time youngest people have this epiphany. The journey getting there wasn’t easy. I had to go through a season of what most church folk call a “stripping”, which means losing everything that was familiar to you. There is nothing about me that is the same from the inside and out including my environment. It started when I graduate high school. I didn’t have any specific plans for myself; I just knew the next step was college. I didn’t have any idea of what I wanted to choose for a concentration so, I picked the normal nursing. It was pretty easy decision...

...I am Japanese. I am Hispanic. I am of Korean decent. I am white. I am Canadian. I don’t have a race or a culture. These statements are common examples of how many people view their race and identity. Even though many are unsure or unaware of what it really means to have a culture, we make claims about it everyday. Some feel they have a race, while others simply feel they do not. We include based on who fits into this ideal and exclude those who don’t. Our knowledge of culture, ethnicity and identity is subconsciously internalized on a daily basis through constant social interactions. Although there were many times I was surrounded by my own culture and race, it had taken me years to become comfortable within my own skin. I grew up with two...

...Who Am I 8/1/2015 This self-analysis gives an idea of who I am, what I believe in, what kinds of behaviors I have, what my gender roles are, what social influences I have, what I see as my group dynamics, and how I feel about relationships. This is all about me and who I am inside as a person, my very own self- analysis. I have changed a lot over the last few years so if I had written this a few years ago I am sure it would have been answered differently. I am a survivor. I believe myself to be a survivor because I have brought myself to a place in my life that will keep me alive. I have battled with drugs and alcohol for most of my life and have been clean for 7 years now, all of my own doing. I have lived on the streets and fought battles with myself teaching myself to live independent of others to survive. I am independent. I can live on my own and take care of myself and my family without the help of others. I have been to the bottom of the worst places in life and that has taught me to not be carless with what I have, and know that I can lose it all again in the blink of an eye. I am happy. I enjoy life. I have lived my life in dark places for so long. I love life so much now. I enjoy family and friends and all of the time I have with them, knowing that every day I wake is another blessing to me. I have to say I believe myself to be both independent and interdependent. I think independent because of all that I have achieved in my life because of all of the heartaches...

Working as an architect one has to balance between the ideal and the reality without compromising your self or your idea. Since I was young and up until now, I really believed that I have been true to myself and I am really proud of that. So a question such as “who am I?” sounds perplexing at first but is actually straightforward for me. I am an architect that pride herself of getting the job done right. Other people might look at me as a reserved and quite person. For those who knew me well they would say that I am bold and would speak my mind at the right time. I am pretty much a go-getter. Generally I am a person who doesn’t get fazed by my surroundings or other circumstance around me. I usually keep my distance and observe the situation and mostly focus on my own things. I would have an original view on different things and this would make me feel like a unique individual. After graduating from an architecture school one of my goal...

...September 16,2014 Psyc 2301 “Who Am I” Essay Trapped in Bewilderment I pulled my hair back, twisted my t-shirt with my sports bra strap, checked my makeup and breezed out of my parent’s house with my sports bag. My teammates and I had have held two state champs in softball, and there never seemed to be a Sunday when we weren’t using the gym to our advantage. Our goal was to be in open gym before the baseball team. I think it was our way of showing off our athleticism in a feministic kind of way. I have always been your average girl with dark pigmented skin, brown hair and eyes, very athletic and outgoing, always excited to learn something new, got along with everyone, held a decent grade point average that got me through high school and onto college. I was the kind of girl of every man’s dream; according to most of the guys I know. Some of whom who took it to their advantage(s) no matter the consequences or sacrifices they were willing to take. I am going to completely drop the ball and be blunt at this point. Take out of it what you will. I have told this story a numerous amounts of times; it never changes and never will for that matter. So, I have learned that it’s best to let people think what they want, even if they think it’s all made up. The spring of 2008, I was sexually abused during one of our open gym days on a Sunday evening, by two boys just slightly older than I was. Before I encountered the unexpected. I was always attracted to this one particular man, whom of...

...Author Note This reflection essay is being submitted on June 4, 2013 for Professor Leo Doucette’s COG-E242 Career Development course. Introduction It has been said that a person is the product of their environment, and that we are what we have been taught to be. Up to a certain point, this is true. As I reflect back on my own life, I continuously ask myself about who I am, and why I am the person I am. To a large part, it is how I was raised, but there are also the experiences I have been through that continue to mold the person I have become and will be in the future. Text Throughout life, I like everybody else who is alive has come to forks in the road that we travel on our journey through life. These forks in the road are choices, and the choices I have made are a large part of who I am. But, there is also a beginning or basis on why the choices were made the way they were. I was raised in a very strict household where being normal or ordinary was unacceptable, and even subject to punishment. Even mundane tasks were to be performed at superior levels. My father who is my biggest inspiration, used to tell my brother and I that “You are being paid to do your best; anything less means you are not earning your paycheck, you are stealing it, and stealing is a sin.” To this day, I keep him in the back of mind when I am going to do something. The last thing I want to do is disappoint or shame him. The second reason for my being who I am is due to the almost ten years I spent as...

...“Identity Essay” “Who am I?” I am Ashley. I am what I like and dislike. I am what I believe in. I am my choices and experiences. I am what I do. I am where I live. I am who others have made me to be and I am who I have chosen to be. Most people do not consider all of the different ways they can be identified. There are countless different things I would use to describe myself and taking this course has added numerous more descriptors to my identity. The widely accepted definition of culture from Devito does a wonderful job including the things I would use to define my culture. The definition states: “Culture is a relatively specialized lifestyle of a group of people (values, beliefs, artifacts, behaviors, ways of communicating)”. Those are all examples of different aspects of my life that I would use to describe myself. For me, my values and beliefs are a strong sense of who I am. I am also very openly supportive of my values and beliefs. I am not afraid to inform people about how I feel about an issue, whether it is politics or something in athletics. If there is something that I strongly support or I am strongly against people know. I feel that many other people would use my values and beliefs to describe me as well since I make them so known. Co-cultures do a brilliant job of helping to identify one’s culture. They each describe a different part of one’s identity and combine to form each person as a whole. I can define myself by using several different...

...developing ideas for this paper, I have learned a lot about myself. I have learned that I am a lot more complex than I originally thought. I have a multitude of strengths and weaknesses and I think I could make a positive impact on the nursing world after graduation. I am in the process now of learning how to use my strengths for greater good and turn my weaknesses into something positive that I can use to build on. In order to discuss some of my strengths and weaknesses, I have to first tell you about why I wanted to become a nurse. When I was growing up, I had a bit of a rocky childhood. I was bounced between parents a lot and moved so much it was hard to make, and keep, friends. At the age of five, I was left at my grandparent’s home for the weekend by a mother that never came back for me. She left the country and left me behind. From that point on, I was raised by my grandmother and grandfather. They were wonderful to me! They saw to it that I was raised with manners and instilled in me that education was very important. I always knew they chose to raise me and that made them very special in my life. I worked my entire life to be able to do for them like they had for me over the years and when I was 25 years old, I got the chance. My grandfather was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. His health deteriorated quickly and I instantly knew it was my place to take care of him. I quit my job and moved in with my grandparents, once again. I took my grandfather to...
