  • The Incarnational Christology of John
    Criswell Theological Review 3.1 (1988) 31-48. Copyright © 1988 by The Criswell College. Cited with permission. THE INCARNATIONAL CHRISTOLOGY OF JOHN JAMES PARKER Criswell College, Dallas, TX 75201 John leaves no doubt as to the purpose of writing his Gospel. He states it explicitly in John 20:31: " . these have been written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name" (NASB). John seeks to support and defend this purpose by the selections, (more material was available than John utilized, according to 20:30) arrangement, and exposition of the material in his Gospel, From the beginning of the Prologue where the Word is said to have become flesh in Jesus to Thomas' majestic conclusion "My Lord and my God" (20:28) , the reader is constantly reminded that Jesus is much more than a mere man representing a deity, He is very God of very God come in the flesh. Jesus' work of salvation ("believing you may have life in His name") is dependent upon the nature of His person ("the Christ, the Son of God"). I. The Prologue (John 1:1-18) The clearest and most explicit statement in the NT concerning the Incarnation is in the Prologue of John. The Prologue applies the term Logos or Word to Christ in describing the person of Christ and particularly His relationship with God.l In using the term Logos, the author is using a word which had currency and a range of meanings in both the Hellenistic and Hebrew world.

  • Cast Into the Deep the Reverend Pen Peery John 21 After These Things
    Cast into the Deep The Reverend Pen Peery John 21 After these things Jesus showed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias; and he showed himself in this way. Gathered there together were Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples. Simon Peter said to them, ‘I am going fishing.’ They said to him, ‘We will go with you.’ They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing. Just after daybreak, Jesus stood on the beach; but the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to them, ‘Children, you have no fish, have you?’ They answered him, ‘No.’ He said to them, ‘Cast the net to the right side of the boat, and you will find some.’ So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in because there were so many fish. That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, ‘It is the Lord!’ When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on some clothes, for he was naked, and jumped into the lake. But the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, only about a hundred yards off. When they had gone ashore, they saw a charcoal fire there, with fish on it, and bread. Jesus said to them, ‘Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.’ So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three of them; and though there were so many, the net was not torn.

  • Disciple Bible Passages
    Appendix F - Disciple Passages from the Bible Is. 50:4 ¶ The Lord GOD has given Me the tongue of disciples, That I may know how to sustain the weary one with a word. He awakens Me morning by morning, He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple. Matt. 10:24 ¶ “A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a slave above his master. Matt. 10:25 “It is enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. If they have called the head of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign the members of his household! Matt. 10:42 “And whoever in the name of a disciple gives to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water to drink, truly I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.” Matt. 13:52 And Jesus said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has become a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like a head of a household, who brings out of his treasure things new and old.” Matt. 27:57 ¶ When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus. Luke 14:26 “If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple. Luke 14:27 “Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.

  • WHEN JESUS DROPS in JOHN 21:1-14 After These Things Jesus
    WHEN JESUS DROPS IN JOHN 21:1-14 ! After these things Jesus showed Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and in this way He showed Himself: Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together. Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing.” They said to him, "We are going with you also.” ! They went out and immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing. But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. Then Jesus said to them, ‘Children, have you any food?’ They answered Him, "No." And He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish. ! Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it), and plunged into the sea. But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from land, but about two hundred cubits), dragging the net with fish. Then, as soon as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread. Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.” Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not broken.

  • Jesus As Agent of Change: Leadership in John 21
    Jesus as Agent of Change: Leadership in John 21 John H. Wilson Regent University Chapter 21 in the book of John provides a snapshot of Jesus interacting with a few of his disciples, which provides insight into his leadership style and tactics. An inner-textural analysis of the chapter based on socio-rhetorical criticism and the contemporary leadership styles of leader-member exchange, servant leadership, charismatic leadership, transformational leadership, and mentorship, help demonstrate how Jesus changed their lives and guided their ministries. The model assesses the Johannine text in terms of (a) repetitive-progression, (b) opening-middle-closing, (c) narrational, (d) argumentative, and (e) sensory- aesthetic methods. These elements of texture reveal more of the author’s intention for this particular narrative, and provide a deeper understanding of how to apply Jesus’ principles in contemporary organizational leadership. Chapter 21 in the book of John provides a snapshot of Jesus interacting with a few of his disciples, which gives insight into his leadership style and tactics. Contemporary leadership theories provide rich texture to analyze the intricacies of this seemingly simplistic dialogue. Because considering Jesus’ action in this example from the perspective of one singular leadership theory would oversimplify vast complexities, this work discuses his actions in light of an extant of contemporary theories as well as related scriptures. Examples include leader- member exchange (LMX), servant leadership, charismatic leadership, transformational leadership, and mentorship. An inner-textural analysis of the chapter based on Robbins’ (1996) model helps to demonstrate the relationship that Jesus had with his followers and how he changed their lives and guided their ministries.

  • Focus - God’S Role: Being Changed by Jesus - John 3
    Focus - God’s Role: Being Changed by Jesus - John 3 Main Idea: In our journey of discipleship, we must realize that it is God’s shaping and direction ​ ​ in our lives that brings the real change. Look Back (Review and debrief your challenge from last week) This new series, called FOCUS, is centered on our church’s definition of a disciple. If our vision is to make disciples who change the world, we have to have agreement on what a disciple actually is. This series is built around the concepts of John 21:17, where Jesus said, “Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Look Up (Wrestle with the passage itself) Read John 3:1-8 together. We learn a lot about Nicodemus in just the first two verses here. Verse one tells that not only is he a Pharisee, a member of the most elite and righteous religious group of Jesus’ day, but also a member of the Jewish ruling council. He is powerful, educated, respected, and moral. But verse two tells us that he comes to speak to Jesus at night. This setting, especially in John’s writing, is intentional. The nighttime is a place of darkness, hiding, and evil actions. Nicodemus only meets with Jesus here because he fears the repercussions of meeting the controversial teacher. Discussion Question: Do you ever find yourself acting like Nicodemus? Do you hide, or even ​ downplay, your allegiances to Christ because of your fear of what others may think? Jesus, knowing his heart, challenges Nicodemus on a number of levels.

John 21:15 When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my lambs.” 16 A second time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Tend my sheep.” 17 He said to him the third time, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter felt hurt because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” And he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.
