1)What is the one key idea of this chapter?
As seen by the title of the chapter, the one main idea of this chapter deals with relationship, with each other and, more importantly with Jesus Christ himself. This relationship is developed by the Holy Spirit, with help from others in our religious community. This relationship, when formed, allows us to find the true meaning of the kingdom of God, thus making God involved in our actions, mind, and heart. The key idea of this chapter is how a relationship with Jesus allows us to move closer to the kingdom of God.
2)Two major ideas I want to remember.
After reading through and reviewing the chapter, the first idea I want to remember would be about is each regions involvement in the Holy Land. This connects with many events occurring in the Holy Land everyday leading to the deaths of many from each of the three faiths, especially Islam and Judaism, whose followers are battling for this land. This specific part of the chapter is the idea I would most prefer to remember.
The next idea I most hope to remember in the future is how both the Old and New Testaments relate to each other and how both are necessary for the understanding of the other. This idea leads to a newfound understanding of the importance of the Old Testament that is important for all Christians to remember.
4)"How have I tried to form a relationship with Christ?
5)How will the world be different because you were born?
If you have ever seen one of those movies where someone goes back in time and changes one thing, then you know how much the impact of one little detail can make on the world. However, by missing a person in the world, like me, entire family trees would disappear or, at least, change drastically. If I had never been born, one more person would have been able to come to SLUH. Just try to image how that would change that one person�s life. They would have different friends, take different classes, and most likely choose another career path. However, this is just one of many views on things. I could influence one person's decision,no matter how small, but in a positive way, I might cause them to take a separate, better path on their road of life. If I were to disappear, everything would drastically change, maybe not suddenly, but in time the world would be a different place.
