- Tell me more
- He was sourrounded with such an abundance of religious honour that many people tought there was nonthing left but to worship the heavenly gods
- Augustus was considered the great source of peace for Rome. From this evidence, we can see that the deification and worship of the Emperor was common throughout the Empire. Many eventually saw Augustus as a blessing.
- The fact that his father Julius had been divinized after his death meant that Augustus would now have ground for claiming the title of "son of god."
- "son of god"
- Jesus was born to a young Jewish virgin named Mary in the town of Bethlehem, south of Jerusalem in modern day Palestine.

- First, Jesus predicts He will suffer soon after this meal and it will be His last meal prior to finishing His work on behalf of the kingdom of God
- Second, Jesus gives His followers symbols of remembrance for His body and His blood sacrificed on behalf of all mankind
- That is so sad!
- Third, Jesus provides a very important principle for living a Christian life: the greatest are those who serve others, not those who want to be served.
