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. Yes, this Gospel has been around two thousand years and we still have cults, false religions, heresies, atheism and agnosticism, but their demise has been assured, as has the reward of all who embrace them. John begins this Gospel with the words, “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. All things were created by Him, and without Him was not anything created that was created” (KJV). The first chapter proclaims Jesus to be life, light, Savior, the Lamb of God, the Messiah. In Chapter Two , Jesus, through the First Sign, declares Himself to be the fulfillment of all Messianic prophesies. In Chapter Three , we read: “For God so love the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him will not perish, but have everlasting life” (my paraphrase). In Chapter Four , He says to the woman at the well in Samaria, “Everyone who drinks from this water will get thirsty again. But whoever drinks from the water that I will give him will never get thirsty again—ever! In fact, the water I will give him will become a well of water springing up within him for eternal life”(John 4:13-14, HCSB). Also, in Chapter Four , we have the Second Sign , the healing of an official’s son from a distance. In Chapter Five , we find the Third Sign, the healing of a man who had been sick for 38 years (on the Sabbath), as well His declaration about His relationship with His Father. He also offers witnesses who support His claim to be the Son of God. In Chapter Six, He feeds five thousand men, plus women and children with a child’s lunch ( the Fourth Sign ). That evening His disciples were caught in a violent storm in the middle of the Sea of Galilee when Jesus came to them, walking on the water (the Fifth Sign ). The next day, He declared, “I am the bread of life” (bold added by this writer). In Chapter Seven , Jesus went to the Temple privately, but in the middle of the Festival of Tabernacles, He stood up and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, he should come to Me and drink! The one who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, will have streams of living water flow from deep within him” (7:37-38). Without saying it in so many words, He is saying that He is water of life. He continues to make statements that support the great claims set forth in the Prologue. 3 In Chapter Eight , Jesus masterfully deals with a crowd bent on trapping him by forcefully dragging into His presence a woman caught in the act of adultery. When the scribes and Pharisees sought to paint Him into a corner from which there was no escape, He brilliantly put the ball back in their court. When they gave up and left, He dismissed to woman with an order for her to “Go, and from now on do not sin any more” (8:11). In Chapter Nine, Jesus gives the sixth sign, the healing of a man born blind, after He had dealt with the question: whose sins caused his blindness, his or his parents’? The Jewish religious authorities were enraged that Jesus made a paste of spittle and placed on the eyes of the blind man on the Sabbath Day. They questioned the man about the One who had healed him and “He answered, ‘Whether or not He’s a sinner, I don’t know. One thing I do know: I was blind, and now I can see. ” (9:25, bold added by this writer). Wow! What a testimony. Now we come to Chapter Ten . I have looked forward to Chapter Ten for months as I worked on earlier chapters in this study of John’s Gospel. Volume I covers Chapters 1-3; Volume II, Chapters 4-6; and Volume III, Chapters 7-9. Volume IV focuses on Chapters 10 - 12. Chapter 10, to me, is very special for a number of reasons. First, Jesus makes two unforgettable “I AM” statements in this passage. Second, this chapter reveals that Jesus fulfills the hopes and promises of Psalm 23. Third, Jesus offers assurance of eternal security to every single person to whom He gives eternal life, whether they understand it or not (whether they believe it or not!). The Savior never announces anywhere that He will grand temporary life to anyone who believes in Him. Dr.Mike Minnix, Editor of PastorLife.Com for the Georgia Baptist Convention, lists almost all of my studies under “Commentaries”, but as I have pointed out in other volumes, I have placed all these studies in what I call The Bible Notebook . A few volumes are documented formally as commentaries, but many of the more than 40 volumes are not formally documented with chapter notes, end notes, and bibliography. Instead, I identify the source at the end of a quote. For example, I will list the New American Commentary and note that is was published by the B&H Publishing Group, found now in The Bible Navigator, an electronic library created by the Technology Division of LifeWay Christian Resources under the guidance of Vice President Tim Vineyard. After that, I simply use the abbreviation, NAC, to indicate the New American Commentary. That way when you are reading it you can identify the source without having to leave the screen or the site to go elsewhere to find the source of the quote. I might add that it was my privilege as a member of the board of trustees for LifeWay Christian Resources at the time, to vote to create the Technology Division and name Tim Vineyard as the Vice President over that division. His competence, dedication, and unique gifts have more than justified our confidence in him. Unless otherwise noted, all Scripture is from the Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB). At the time I rotated off the board of trustees for LifeWay I was chairman of the Broadman and Holman Committee, which was responsible for the publication of the new translation. One reason I have prepared these many volumes in this format and designated the studies as The Bible Notebook (my Bible Notebook) is that each needs more work, and when I go back over any of them I see a lot of improvements I would like to make. Years ago, Dr. Charles Williams told a group 4 of his students, “There is no such thing as good writing, there is only re-writing.” I appreciate that more all the time. Nevertheless, as I am make these studies available, it is my prayer that others will take them, study them, and improve on them for their own use. Note of Appreciation No serious book is written in a vacuum. As there are many factors that must come together to produce a result, there are many factors that must come together to produce a Bible study like this one. First, I can do nothing apart from the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Then there are the resources one normally uses in writing any Bible study. After that, one’s family must make certain sacrifices, and at one time that involved sons, John and Mark, but today my wife Rebecca (Becky) is the one who must put up with all of this. Encouragement comes from my brothers James and Mike, and my sister Linda, as well as lay individuals who say the right things to encourage me (friends Bill Pace, Julia Bain, and Helen Craig, and other friends, as well as current and former church members). Encouragement from other ministers is always appreciated, and I would never try to list them (I forgot my wife’s name one time!). However, recent words of encouragement and criticism have come from respected friends, including Brother Charles Roberts, Dr. Gene Jeffries, Dr. William R. Cooper, Dr.

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.
