The goal is to provide a deeper understanding of this rich image and its influence on the Gospel. In an attempt to do so, three areas of concentration are explored. First, the most common and accepted views of the background of the “Lamb of God” title in first century Judaism and Christianity are reviewed.

How much time had elapsed since the beginning of Jesus' ministry? About one year, as this is the second "Passover" (John 6:4) mentioned, so Jesus is one-third into His three-year ministry. This Passover is also six months after the previous "feast of the Jews" mentioned in John 5, which shows that the Gospel of John, like the other three Gospels, is not a diary. Each of the four Gospel writers described the highlights of Jesus' ministry as led by the Holy Spirit, so there are overlaps, & elements unique to each. Why did "a great multitude" (John 6:2) follow Jesus? Was Jesus' question, “Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?” (John 6:5) to Philip intended to start a private chat? Since at least one other disciple, Andrew, also replied to the question, it was heard by more than just Philip, and probably all of the twelve disciples.

John 6.15-21 STUDY GUIDE
THE GOSPEL OF JOHN Small Group Discussion Guide Text: John 6:15-21 Theme/ Big Idea: Jesus is “I Am” who comes offering peace in the midst of chaos and life in the midst of death. Context/ Background Information: In John 6:1-14, Jesus miraculously provided bread in the wilderness. According to Matthew and Mark, “immediately after” feeding the 5,000 Jesus made the disciples get into a boat while he remained behind to disperse the crowds and pray (Matt 14:22-33; Mark 6:45-52). John 6:15 provides a likely motive for moving so quickly to send the disciples away. In verse 15, the crowds wanted to “take him by force and make him king.” Remarkably, Jesus’ actions reveal he is not interested in being the earthly king the people wanted nor was he interested in his disciples adopting the perspective of the crowd. Instead, we are told Jesus withdrew to the mountain by himself. Rather than fulfill their expectations and become the king they wanted, Jesus is concerned with being the king they desperately need. Think about it, if ever there was a time to fall in line with the expectations of the people and attempt to overthrow Rome, it was when 10 to 15,000 people were ready to make Jesus king. Yet Jesus resisted their expectations and withdrew. The reason, according to John 18:36, is because Jesus’ “kingdom is not of this world.” Rome is infinitely too small a throne for him. Jesus is the King of Kings, the Lord of Hosts and John captures that vividly in the miracle of Jesus walking on the water.

What is the "Feast of Tabernacles" (John 7:2)? Also known as the "Feast of Booths" because people lived in booths, tents and other makeshift shelters for seven days, the Feast of Tabernacles was the feast that God commanded Jews to keep in order to commemorate God having led and provided for them for forty years in the wilderness after freeing them from slavery in Egypt: "Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days to the LORD... You shall dwell in booths for seven days. All who are native Israelites shall dwell in booths, that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.’” (Leviticus 23:33-34, 42-43) The Feast of Tabernacles was also called the "Feast of Ingathering" (Exodus 23:16) because it took place at the end of the harvest.

NICODEMUS, the SILENT BELIEVER 1. Nicodemus Met Jesus in Secret at Night 2
Midweek Lenten Service: Nicodemus, the Silent Believer 2011 TEXT: John 3:1-2; 7:50-51; 19:39 THEME: NICODEMUS, THE SILENT BELIEVER 1. Nicodemus Met Jesus in Secret at Night 2. Nicodemus Made a Feeble Defense of Jesus 3. Nicodemus Broke His Silence after Jesus Died John 3:1-2 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a member of the Jewish ruling council. He came to Jesus at night and said, "Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs you are doing if God were not with him." John 7:50-51 Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus earlier and who was one of their own number, asked, "Does our law condemn anyone without first hearing him to find out what he is doing?" John 19:39 He was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds. NIV Dear Fellow-Redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb: In thinking about People of the Passion, I wonder sometimes whether Nicodemus might have felt any remorse that he did not do more to prevent Jesus’ suffering and death. Did he ask himself later if he could have done something differently to help Jesus? You remember Nicodemus, don’t you? Some people call him the night disciple, because the first time he came to Jesus was late one night. Today, however, we choose to call him THE SILENT BELIEVER. We wouldn’t exactly call Nicodemus a disciple the first time he came to Jesus.

Jesus: His Life from the Perspectives of Mary and Caiaphas (Pt. 2)
Digital Commons @ George Fox University Faculty Publications - College of Christian Studies College of Christian Studies 2019 Jesus: His Life from the Perspectives of Mary and Caiaphas (Pt. 2) Paul N. Anderson Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.georgefox.edu/ccs Part of the Christianity Commons News and Interpretations on the Bible and Ancient Near East History. "Jesus: His Life from the Perspectives of Mary and Caiaphas" (Pt. 2) By Paul N. Anderson George Fox University Newberg, Oregon April 2019 Following on the first two episodes of the History Channel’s “Jesus: His Life,” focusing on perspectives of Joseph and John the Baptist, the second installment continues the hybrid approach, reflecting on the life of Jesus from the perspectives of Mary and Caiaphas. The opening episode features Jesus visiting Jerusalem as a twelve-year old, as portrayed in Luke 2. Beginning with Mary and her memory of the infancy and childhood of Jesus, things move forward quickly into the story of his engaging the Jewish authorities in the temple. While nothing else is known about the childhood and early adulthood of Jesus, the memory of his engaging religious authorities in Jerusalem must have influenced Mary’s impression of his mission and special calling in life. The episode tracks with the traditional view that Joseph may have died before the ministry of Jesus began, which would have led to his working as a carpenter to support the family. Along these lines, several conjectures of tensions between Jesus and his brother are presented. First, his brothers may have resented his ministry-related departure—imposing on them to provide for the family’s welfare.

The Gospel of John Nicodemus Had a Difficult Time with Jesus. He
Life & Teachings of Jesus Lecture 37, page 1 The Gospel of John Nicodemus had a difficult time with Jesus. He thought he was going to have a nice conversation, but things did not go as he planned. Jesus knew how to be polite, but He also knew that was not what Nicodemus needed. We understand the story because we have heard it many of times and we have had terms like “born again” and “Son of Man” explained to us. But Nicodemus has never heard of the Son of Man. He does not understand Jesus when He says, “Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up.” But the scene happened for our sake, as John explains. There is some disagreement about the speaker is in John 3:16, but I think it is best understood to be John, making an editorial comment, rather than Jesus continuing to speak to Nicodemus. The verse says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Jesus did not refer to Himself as “the Son,” though He did call Himself “Son of Man.” He did not use the former phrase because He was veiling His identity during His life on earth so people did not get the wrong idea. He was not yet revealing He was the Son of God. It was not time, for this was the beginning of His ministry and people would not have understood it properly.

26. Jesus, Martha, and Mary Luke 10:38-42 Luke: a Walk Through the Life of Jesus
1 26. Jesus, Martha, and Mary Luke 10:38-42 Luke: A Walk Through the Life of Jesus In his narrative on the life of Jesus, Luke now includes five small verses that tell a big story. In this short passage, we learn many things about the priorities of being a disciple. Luke continues his focus on the teaching and training of the disciples over the next nine chapters. In the following verses, Luke gives us a very intimate glimpse of people who were friends of Jesus. There is much we can learn from their interaction with Jesus and His response to them. At the Home of Martha and Mary 38As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. 40But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!” 41"Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, 42but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her” (Luke 10:38-42). Luke doesn't tell us where this village is located, but we find the same people mentioned in John 12:1-3 as living in Bethany. As one leaves Jerusalem and heads east, one crosses the Kidron Valley and climbs the Mount of Olives.
