Psychosocial Connection

In conclusion, at the basis of the character of Jesus, it  is ultimately a story of forgiveness and love. He represents the greatest sacrifice made for man so that his or her sins may be forgiven through him.  Even though you may be one of the greatest or least of sinners Jesus still loves you for who you are.  He demonstrated his love for man by being crucified at Calvary.
 
Brief Overview

Visual art: One of the most iconic depictions of Christ through visual art is a painting done by Venetian painter Tintoretto. The painting itself depicts a dramatic version of Christ being crucified at Calvary.  Christ can be seen as the central or focal point of the painting as it shows him nailed to the cross. The painting is regarded as one of the grandest displays of Christ in the most pivotal moment  of his life.

Music: A great example of  music that represents how inspiring the character of Jesus can be is the song “Worth” by Anthony Brown. The category of the song is gospel.  In the song Anthony sings about how Jesus has influenced him and how he embraces the love of God. The song itself speaks on the sacrifices that Jesus made so that he could be free of his sin. Anthony shows his appreciation for the actions committed by Christ in the chorus.

Short Story: In the short story “Jesus The Savior” it's an inspirational story on how no matter what background or sin you have committed Jesus stills loves you. Of course the subject of Jesus can be interpreted many different ways but in the story it shows how even a drunkard who is ignorant of the teachings of Christ still find his love and grace. Through Jesus the man found happiness and peace within where there was none. The short story is truly an example of great forgiveness and love..

A depiction of the last twelve hours in the life of Jesus of Nazareth, on the day of his crucifixion in Jerusalem. The story opens in the Garden of Olives where Jesus has gone to pray after the Last Supper. Betrayed by Judas Iscariot, the controversial Jesus--who has performed 'miracles' and has publicly announced that he is 'the Son of God'--is arrested and taken back within the city walls of Jerusalem. There, the leaders of the Pharisees confront him with accusations of blasphemy; subsequently, his trial results with the leaders condemning him to his death. Jesus is brought before Pontius Pilate, the Roman Governor of Palestine, for his sentencing. Pilate listens to the accusations leveled at Jesus by the Pharisees. Realizing that his own decision will cause him to become embroiled in a political conflict, Pilate defers to King Herod in deciding the matter of how to persecute Jesus. However, Herod returns Jesus to Pilate who, in turn, gives the crowd a choice between which prisoner

Worth 
Lyrics
By Anthony Brown 

You thought I was worth saving
So you came and changed my life
You thought I was worth keeping
so you cleaned me up inside
You thought I was to die for
so you sacrificed your life
So I could be free
So I could be whole
So I could tell everyone I know
repeat chorus (3 times)
Hallelujah
Glory to the God who changed my life
And I will praise you (Forever)
I'll worship you (Forever)
I'll give you glory (Forever)
Because I am free
Because I am whole
And I will tell everyone I know
Repeat
You thought I was worth saving
So you came and changed my life
You thought I was worth keeping
So you cleaned me up inside
You thought I was to die for
You sacrificed your life
So I can be free
End

Archetype: Jesus The Savior Hero


"Spreadjesus.org." Jesus the Savior (Short Story) There Was a Former Drunkard Who Got Converted to Christianity. N.p., n.d. Web. 20 Nov. 2015.

The statement or concept of Jesus as or being a Savior Hero has been up for discussion and disputed for thousands of years, and still is today.  However, contrary to what some may say or believe, Jesus is a true example of a Savior Hero.  Savior heroes sacrifice themselves for the well-being of others.  The reason for this is stated in some Bible scriptures below-because He is the Almighty. 

 "Declare and set forth your case; Indeed, let them consult together Who has announced this from of old? Who has long since declared it? Is it not I, the LORD? And there is no other God besides Me, A righteous God and a Savior; There is none except Me. "Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; For I am God, and there is no other.

                                                                                           Isaiah 45:21-22

"I, even I, am the LORD, And there is no savior besides Me.

                                                                                           Isaiah 43:11

"Now do not be grieved or angry with yourselves, because you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life. "For the famine has been in the land these two years, and there are still five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvesting. "God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant in the earth, and to keep you alive by a great deliverance.

                                                                                           Genesis 45:5-7

"THE VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS, 'MAKE READY THE WAY OF THE LORD, MAKE HIS PATHS STRAIGHT. 'EVERY RAVINE WILL BE FILLED, AND EVERY MOUNTAIN AND HILL WILL BE BROUGHT LOW; THE CROOKED WILL BECOME STRAIGHT, AND THE ROUGH ROADS SMOOTH; AND ALL FLESH WILL SEE THE SALVATION OF GOD.'"
