  • 70. the Gospel of John—8:12-24
    70. The Gospel of John—8:12-24 “The Light of the World” Pt.3 (5/5/19) In our study in John’s gospel we are currently in chapter 8 where we came across one of the seven “I Am” statements of Jesus that John built his gospel around. Every time Jesus called Himself “I AM”, He was declaring that He was the voice from the burning bush (Exodus 3:13-14) where God identified Himself to Moses as the great ‘I AM’. And so, as we study John 8, understand that the whole chapter is built around Jesus’ declaration of divinity—which led to a heated confrontation between Himself and His enemies. II. The Heated Confrontation—v.12-59 A. Round One—Light and Darkness (v.12–20) John 8:12 (NKJV) 12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life." And so, this very heated confrontation started with Jesus declaring Himself to be Yahweh (the great I AM) and Messiah—and ended with His enemies picking up stones to kill Him (v.59). The ‘them’ in verse 12 refers to the scribes and Pharisees (v.3)—the ‘scholars’ of Judaism. When Jesus called Himself “the light of the world”—it would have immediately reminded them that Yahweh was likened to ‘light’ in their Scriptures many times (Psalm 27:1; 84:11). 1 And so, when Jesus proclaimed, “I AM—the light of the world”—He was claiming to be the God of Israel—the radiant Shekinah Glory! It was the Shekinah Glory (presence of God in the form of a pillar of fire by night) that was the light that lit their ancestor’s way thru the darkness of the wilderness for those forty years before entering the Promised Land.

He is referring to this passage from Matthew 27:25: “Let his blood be on us and on our children.” 2 As an answer to the question of why the Jews have led such a wandering existence through the centuries and have been persecuted brutally, people, including Christians, sometimes quite “naturally” mention this phrase from Matthew 27. The Jews have invoked the curse upon themselves, haven’t they? Having thought about this text quite a bit since I saw the film, I can’t figure out why believing Christians have used a Bible verse to hurt other people. I would By Leendert van Beek have thought that Bible verses would be used, in the first place, to comfort people, not to persecute them. I’ve done some research on this text, and I would like to explain a specific reading of this notorious verse.

    Remembering Pope Saint John Paul II’s visit to Denver for World Youth Day 1993 “I came that they might have life, and have it to the full.” –John 10: 10 Theme for World Youth Day, Denver 1993 Photo: Helen H. Richardson/ Denver Post “Imagine Woodstock with all of the good and none of the bad… It was an event of more than 100,000 young people that changed society, but there was no marijuana; no beer bottles on the ground.” –Sister Mary Ann Walsh, RSM, communications director for World Youth Day Denver ——- Looking back to 1993: The third visit of Pope Saint John Paul II to the United States (not counting two flight layovers in Alaska) was held in Denver for the 1993 World Youth Day (August 10-15, 1993). The Archdiocese of Denver, under the leadership of then Archbishop J. Francis Stafford, hosted this historic event. This marked the eighth WYD, which was started by Pope John Paul II in 1986 in Rome. Denver’s event was the first World Youth Day to be held in North America, as well as in an English-speaking nation. Pope John Paul II initiated plans for World Youth Day in 1984, with the first celebration in 1986. The Denver event was the eighth celebration and the first to become an international media sensation. Photo: Denver Catholic Register The Holy Father arrived in the Mile High City on August 12 following the first-ever papal visit to the island nation of Jamaica (August 9-11), and a brief stop in Mexico. He arrived by helicopter.

  • 1 the Gospel of Matthew General Introduction the Gospel of Matthew Has Long Been the Most Popular of the Four Canonical Gospels
    The Gospel of Matthew General Introduction The Gospel of Matthew has long been the most popular of the four canonical Gospels: consistently placed first in the canonical lists, it was widely used in early Christian communities, and for some time was thought to be the first Gospel written (though now we believe Mark was written first). Indeed, even today, people are often most familiar with Matthew’s Gospel. For example, over the next eight weeks, you’ll be encountering some of Jesus’ most famous teachings: “Love your enemies,” “Turn the other cheek,” “Do not be anxious about tomorrow,” “Let the children come,” “Go make disciples of all nations,” and the Lord’s prayer in the form most churches use today (as opposed to Luke’s version in Lk. 11:1-4). As the most Jewish of the four canonical Gospels, Matthew also provides a nice bridge between the two testaments of the Christian Bible. Author and Provenance According to tradition, this Gospel was written by Matthew (also called Levi), a former tax collector and one of Jesus’ twelve disciples (Mark 3:18; Matt 9:9; 10:3; Luke 6:15; Acts 1:13). The author implied by the text itself was clearly an early Jewish Christian who was well-educated and multilingual (Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek). He was also an interpreter of earlier traditions, adopting and adapting several sources in the telling of his tale (the Gospel of Mark, a hypothetical sayings-source scholars call “Q,” the OT, oral tradition, and possibly a “special source” scholars call “M” or “special Matthew”).

    Talk: CHOSEN FOR A PURPOSE “You have not chosen me; I have chosen you. Go and bear fruit that will last.” John 15:16 The Life of St. Francis Born to a wealthy lifestyle, son of a merchant in Assisi, Italy Had the attention of those around him Didn’t care to join the business of his father Desired to be a soldier Dream led him to return from battle, back to Assisi Was not satisfied with his status, honor and wealth Spent time in prayer and solitude, seeking an answer to his call Encounter with a leper, at first was disgusted but decided to move beyond this feeling to being moved by this man and his heart was captured Prayed in front of a crucifix in the church, San Damiano, where Christ spoke to Francis. "Go, Francis, and repair (rebuild) my house, which as you see is falling into ruin.” Francis’ response, “Yes!” said Francis. “This is what I want, this is what I long for with all my heart.” The decision was not an easy one. He was ridiculed by the towns’ people, beaten, locked up and rejected by his father. He ultimately stripped naked to reject his earthly life (sonship) to receive his heavenly life (an adopted son of the Heavenly Father). He went to Rome to petition to the Pope to start an order Many became attracted to St. Francis and joined his order I tell you this story because I know we can learn something from St. Francis for ourselves and for the sake of the young people we will be witnessing to this year.
