1THEOLOGY
The purpose of this essay is to describe the Biblical factors in the lives of human beings
and their implications on how human beings could get justice. The major plot movements in the
narratives of the Holy Bible are very important in understanding the benevolence of the
omnipotent God. Jesus Christ will always look to save human beings from their sins and give
them a new life.1 The four important sections of the Holy Scripture are Creation, Fall,
Redemption and Restoration. All these things are very deeply connected with the well being of
the human beings. In this context, it must be said that Jesus Christ sacrificed His own life to
salvage the sins of human beings.
The Biblical story or narrative that will be discussed in this section is that of the Last
Supper. This is a Biblical story or narrative that has discussed upon very beautiful invitation
party from Jesus to receive his gift from His followers. This story or narrative has been provided
in the books of Matthew, Luke and Mark. This invitation or this event took place on the first day
of Passover. It was also called the Festival of Unleavened Bread. All the disciples of Jesus
arrived where Jesus was. Then He sent all His disciples to the city to fetch food to celebrate the
first day of the Passover. The Passover was a festival that was celebrated to commemorate the
freedom of Israel from the hands of Egypt. It is also very crucial because the Angle of Death
passed over the houses of the people of Israel. Soon after Jesus sat on the chair and ate the dinner
with all of His twelve disciples.2 Then Jesus told them that one of those twelve followers will
soon betray Him including Judas who will be the betrayer. Jesus also claimed that the person

who would betray Him will also suffer a terrible fate in the future. Therefore, it turned out to be
Judas only.
In this section the first topic will be discussed as relationship between humanity and God.
Jesus Christ is the bridge between human beings and God. Christ is the medium through which
all four major plot movements of Biblical doctrines is associated. According to the Holy
Scripture, Christ is the redeemer of all sins for human beings.3 The Mission of God and Church
can be understood only when the motives and activities of Jesus Christ will be understood. God
made promise to the human beings that He would surely create a new world and He sent His son,
Jesus Christ to salvage the sins of human beings. Christ was the medium through whom this
restoration of the world was possible. He would redeem the sins of human beings by the act of
crucifixion.4 Therefore, His resurrection took place to ensure all sins are salvaged. It has been
said in the Holy Scripture that Christ would return to Heaven and He will judge sinners and evil.
He will take the step to do away the evil world forever.
The second topic will be discussed in this section. It is forgiveness. Forgiveness is a
virtue that should be present in most human beings. Both God and Christ are very much
powerful and they have the power to forgive the sinners if they commit their mistakes. God has
always been the greatest forgiver. Both Christ and God have taught the human beings to love and
forgive each other.5 All the sins of the human beings should be cleansed and this should pave the

way for a better life ahead. Christ has proclaimed that all human beings are sinners since their
birth is the reason is caused by the greatest sin committed by Adam and Eve. Christ is here to
forgive all sinners through redemption and restoration. In the Scripture it has been mentioned “If
we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us”. (John 1:8). Through the
Holy blood of Jesus Christ, all sins of human beings would be forgiven.6
In the concluding section, it can be said that Jesus Christ is the redeemer of the sins who
has purified lives of individuals through his crucifixion. The Biblical narrative or story of the
Last Supper is a very crucial document for the description of the nature of influence Jesus Christ
had on his disciples or followers. The topic of Christ and forgiveness has opened up the true
relationship between God and human beings in this world.
