Christmastide December 31, 2017 ABOUT the GOSPEL of JOHN “The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him and declared, ‘Here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world’” john 1:29 Christmastide December 31, 2017 ABOUT THE GOSPEL OF JOHN The vast majority of what we know about Jesus comes to us The Gospel of John, however, is a rather different composition. from the first four books of the New Testament. We call these Probably the latest of the four Gospels to be written, John was books gospels (“good news”) because they record the “good composed near the end of the first century CE, right around 70 news” about Jesus. The word “gospel” comes from the Old years following the events it describes. English godspel which in turn translated the Latin evangelii that has its roots in the Greek word euangelion. John offers us something rather different from the synoptic Gospels. Rather than providing merely a historical account In the era in which the New Testament was written and of the events of Jesus’ life, John paints his stories with a rich compiled, the word euangelion was mostly nonreligious in theological brush and shades his characters with complex meaning. It simply meant “good news” or “good tidings.” motives and impulses. Prominent Roman writers employed the term to talk about the latest stories about Caesar, their friends, or about Roman John the Baptist. Nicodemus. The woman at the well. The accomplishments. The most famous Roman use of the word man born blind. The woman caught in adultery. Mary and comes in about 9BC in a letter about Caesar: “Augustus Martha. Lazarus. Mary Magdalene. All of these characters are was the beginning of the euangelion for the world that came transformed by John’s telling to be vital means by which the through him.” Compare this with the opening words of Mark’s good news about Jesus goes forth. gospel (1:1), “The beginning of the euangelion of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.” John’s Gospel emphasizes very different things than the Synoptics. Here, Jesus tells no parables and hardly mentions It is interesting to note that all four of our Gospels come to “the kingdom of God.” Here, there is no birth narrative—no us anonymously. None of the Gospel accounts come with angels, shepherds, or magi. Dialogue between characters is an inscription indicating authorship or date or location; often elongated and sometimes spans multiple chapters. only Christian tradition has preserved the historical titles “According to Matthew”; “According to Mark”; “According to John’s Gospel is roughly divided into two sections. After the Luke”; and “According to John.” Whoever the authors were introductory poem (1:1-1:18), the Gospel first focuses on seven precisely, they are unknown to us; all we have is what they major signs and wonders Jesus performs. (1:19-12:50). We wrote. call this section the “Book of Signs.” Then, beginning with chapter 13, the story pivots into the story of Christ’s passion The Christian tradition has traditionally looked to four gospel and resurrection (13:1-21:25). We call this section “The Book of accounts to shape our understanding of Jesus. Undoubtedly, Glory.” you have heard of other “gospels,” such as the “Gospel of Thomas,” “The Gospel of Judas,” and even “The Gospel It has been rightly said that the Gospel of John is shallow of Jesus’ Wife!” And while some of these texts date to the enough for a child to play but also deep enough for an elephant second or third centuries, they were not considered to be to drown. On the surface, John reads easily and clearly. Unlike authoritative and verifiable by the early Christian church, as the Synoptics, John often explains what events or teachings such, they were not included in our Scriptures. mean and so it appears to be more understandable. But on subsequent reads, one encounters deep and unfathomable Of the four Gospels in our Bibles, the first three (Matthew, statements such as that at the very outset: “And the word Mark, and Luke) are called synoptic gospels, meaning became flesh and dwelled among us.” (Jn. 1:14). Statements they follow roughly the same order and as such, they can be like these require not hours but lifetimes to contemplate. compared together, alongside one another. The ordering of the events of Jesus’ life, and even many of the details of the stories For the next three months, we will be preaching and learning are shared between these books and we can learn a lot looking from John’s gospel.

WE GATHER IN HOPE PRELUDE TODAY’S PRELUDE “Still, Still, Still” ▲ LIGHTING THE CHRIST CANDLE (Manz) carl angelo, organist Jesus said: “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of light. The Christ candle is lit. We light the Christ candle because we refuse to let go of our hope that Jesus shines within the darkness of our lives and of this world. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it. ▲ PROCESSIONAL HYMN “Love Has Come” Hymn No. 110 BRING A TORCH WE CONFESS OUR SINS Prayer of Confession Almighty God who inhabits eternity but dwells with those who are of a humble and contrite spirit: before you and our Lord Jesus Christ we confess our sins. We have ignored the presence of your Spirit. We have failed to look for the return of our Savior and Judge. We have been blind to your coming in the suffering of the hungry, the exiled, the destitute, the sick, and the imprisoned. In your great goodness put away our offenses and cleanse us from our sin, for Jesus’ sake. Amen.

WHY IT’S IMPORTANT: THE SAME SPIRIT THAT RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD DWELLS WITHIN CHRISTIANS. GOSPEL CONNECTION: FAITH IN JESUS, THROUGH HIS DEATH AND RESURRECTION, IS THE MEANS BY WHICH HIS FOLLOWERS GAIN ACCESS TO THE HOLY SPIRIT. 2 John | STUDY GUIDE AUGUST 1, 2021 INTRODUCTION 1 Share about a time when you felt inadequate or ill equipped for a task. Notes: 2 Why do we sometimes feel inadequate to serve the Lord? 3 How can we overcome such feelings of inadequacy? The Holy Spirit, like Jesus, is co-equal and co-eternal with God, and yet is distinct from the other two persons of the Trinity in His work. Though we often feel inadequate to be used by God for His kingdom, Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to indwell believers for the express purpose of empowering us to be His witnesses. (See Acts 1:8.) Today we will see how we can find confidence to be used by God for His kingdom and glory, by the power of the Holy Spirit. UNDERSTANDING > READ JOHN 14:15-17. ° What comes to mind when you think of the Holy Spirit? ° Who is the Holy Spirit and what does the Holy Spirit do? (See John 14:26, 15:26; 16:10.) 3 John | STUDY GUIDE AUGUST 1, 2021 The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity; He indwells Christ-followers and is the presence and power of God in their lives.

  • Scholia Et Homiletica
    Scholia et Homiletica CTJ 37 (2002): 318-332 Calvin, Theologian of Sweetness* I. John Hesselink This article is based on two theses: one general, one more specific. The gen- eral one is that one’s vocabulary reflects one’s character. Or, to put it a little dif- ferently, the words we choose to describe our ideas and our emotions reveal more about our personality than we usually realize. The second, more specific, thesis is this: Calvin’s fondness for and frequent use of the noun sweetness and its cognates reveal not only something about Calvin’s style and personality, but it also has theological ramifications. For those enemies and detractors of Calvin who allege that he knew little or nothing about the love and grace of God, this will come as a shock. However, even for Calvin’s admirers and those who are familiar with his theology this may come as a surprise. Much has been made by Calvin scholars of his favorite metaphor, the mirror1 and his frequent references to a labyrinth and abyss,2 but as far as I know, no one has noted how frequently the Reformer uses words such as sweet, sweetly, and sweetness to depict fundamental theological themes. This is surprising in view of the fact that such words occur approximately sixty-seven times in the McNeill-Battles edition of the Institutes. Battles is far more consistent in his translation of the two key words dulcêdo and suavitas and their verbal and adjectival forms as sweet and sweetness than were Beveridge and Allen, the ear- lier English translators.3 Further research has discovered hundreds of occur- rences of these words in Calvin’s commentaries, sermons, and treatises.

  • The Personal Prayer Life of Jesus
    The Published Articles of Ernest E. Larkin, O.Carm. The Personal Prayer Life Of Jesus The Personal Prayer Life of Jesus Contemplation is always from the inside out, pure gift from God communicating himself, centering prayer is the active effort to enter within and to stand at the threshold of the inner chamber where God dwells, waiting to be touched by God. Contemplation is that divine touch; all other contemplative disciplines are preparation and disposition. (Carmelite Studies, 1999) What do the Gospels tell us about the exultation and Gethsemane, are found in the personal prayer life of Jesus? Surprisingly other synoptics. Each incident brings out a much. Luke records Jesus praying ten times, different teaching about Jesus’ prayer, and eight more than the other synoptics; John together they flesh out a perfect model of accounts for three separate prayer sequences: prayer. We shall organize our reflections in the prayer at Lazarus’ tomb (in 11:42), the the following Trinitarian formula: Jesus prays Johannine interpretation of Gethsemane (in to the Father in and for the Holy Spirit.

Jesus our own as well. always prays alone, though sometimes aloud, so that in this sense He shares His prayer. But Jesus Prays while He attends the synagogue regularly (Lk Dom Chapman once remarked: if you 4:16), there are no descriptions of His want to pray well, then pray much; but if you participation in the liturgy or in group prayer.

  • The Gospel According to John
    The Bible Notebook THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JOHN That you may know Him (John 20:31) Volume 4 Chapters 10-12 By Johnny L. Sanders, D. Min. DEDICATION To Dr. Paul Brown President, Hanibal LaGrange College (Retired) My mother thought you were a good role model for her son when he was called to preach the Gospel (She was a wise woman!) What a joy is to share memories of our friends from Sledge, Mississippi! Why I Love John, Chapter Ten For years, as I studied, wrote, and re-wrote verse by verse studies on one book of the Bible after another, I held one book in the back of my mind, promising myself that if the Lord gave me the time and the Holy Spirit led in that direction, I would one day write a verse by verse study on the Gospel According to John. We call it the Gospel of John, but in reality it is the Gospel of Jesus Christ According to John. Over the years, when someone asked, “What is your favorite book of the Bible?”, I probably said, “Whatever I am working on at the time.” I might have mentioned Romans, First John, Luke, Revelation, Genesis, Joshua, Isaiah, or Jeremiah. However, without a doubt, the one I am always drawn back to is The Gospel According to John. If I had to give one reason, I might quote John 3:16, but there is more to it than that. In Chapter One, there is the Prologue, in which we find a statement about Jesus that destroys all cults, all false religions, and heresies, as well as atheism and agnosticism.
