In The Gospel Of John 33B-33b-3

In the gospel according to John 15: 1-11 talk about the passage/parable of the vine and the branches. He said, “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruits he prunes, so that it will be more fruitful.” Jesus tries to point out to the disciples how important He is to human salvation. The only way branches (people) can bear fruit is if they are fed the nutrients needed. It nutrients can be supply through the xylem and phloem which runs through the stem/vine of the tree. Jesus is the vine and without Him we will not bear fruits and according to John 15: 6 states that if we do not remain in the vine (Jesus) we will be thrown into the fire. This

It is also interesting to note that even though John makes it very clear that the author is Jewish, the Gospel is written primarily for a Greek audience. Because of his knowledge of the Old Testament, which he continually quotes, his understanding of Jewish ritual and culture and he knew and understood the prophesy of the coming Messiah, there is no doubt that either John was Jewish himself or he studied Judaism very well. However, the lack of concern for proving the prophecies set down in the Book of Isaiah supports evidence that this was not a testimony to a Jewish audience. Throughout the gospel, Jesus is shown as being both fully God and fully human, a concept that is more synonymous with Greek culture. Also, the very beginning of John states that Jesus was with God

This essay will look at Luke 7:11-17 the retelling of when Jesus Christ raised the child of a widowed woman, and 1 Corinthians 3:10-15 a section of the Pauline letter to the church at Corinth where he is trying to address in this section the issue of the division of Corinth.

When the context of a passage is considered but the literary genre is ignored there will be confusion as to what the message is pertaining to. It is difficult to understand what the message is when we just open the Bible up and find a random chapter and try to find what it is teaching us. Everything builds upon eachother and the Bible has many parts that encompass different events and share different lessons. We can look into the surrounding context as Duvall and Hayes explained in chapter six by dividing the book into paragraphs or sections and trying to summarize the main idea of each section. We would be limiting ourselves though if we truly don’t know the genre that could be a type of parable, poem, law, or wisdom.

For this Bible study, my passage comes from Matthew 8:5-13. It is the story of the Roman Centurion with the servant who was very sick. This is the Centurion whom Jesus said had the greatest faith in all of Israel.

From the Lucan narrative there is universal presentation of Jesus 1:32-33 the incarnation of the son of God as narrated in Scripture from the infancy refers to the Messiah being born into the world from a specific geographical setting beginning from Adam. This narrative obviously unveils two most important insights. The Lukan author conveys first of all that a child is about to be conceived and “the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father, and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” (Lk. 1:32-33). This obviously refers to the Messiah, a message that was not beyond the horizon of a young Jewish girl.

In John 20 verses 6-8 says, "Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there, and the face cloth, which had been on Jesus' head, not lying with the linen cloths but folded up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed." From this point, the two disciples went back to their home and to be with the other disciples. A little while later Jesus appeared to the disciples and said, "peace be with you" (John 20:19). Thomas was one of the disciples and he was not with the others. When the other disciples told Thomas that they had seen Jesus, he was in disbelief. Thomas insisted that he had to see the hands and feet of Jesus

The Gospel of John tells us that Jesus is the Son of God. Many miraculous signs that Jesus performed in the Book of John prove it. In today’s scripture, the miracles of the loaves and fishes and of walking on the Sea of Galilee also show us that Jesus is the Son of God. Many theologians match today’s scripture to the Old Testament, Moses’ story. For example, as we know that God gave the Israelites manna and quail in the wilderness, Jesus fed a large crowd who followed him. Also, as God allowed the Israelites to go across the Red Sea by dividing the water, Jesus walked on the Sea of Galilee and controlled the rough wave and the strong wind. We can see that Jesus is the son of God through the Gospel of John. Now, let us see and keep focusing on who Jesus is, today.

“I am the resurrection and the life; He who believes in Me, even if he should

The First sign in John’s gospel is when Jesus changed water into wine at a ceremony. Second sign will be that with a word of command Jesus cured a son of a royal. The third sign is that Jesus healed a man who was paralyzed for a long time. The fourth sign is when Jesus multiplied seven loaves and fishes to feed the people who gathered to hear his word. These signs revealed to the reader that Jesus has control over the world, nature and materialistic stuff. Jesus also has a lot of power to create and restore what was broken. Jesus to the readers appeats as loving and wise. The signs also revealed Gods power to heal and give life to those who thought there was no

Jesus is amongst his disciples, teachers, and chief priests, whom he is arguing with in the temple courts (Mark 11:27-28). Prior to this parable, the leaders asked Jesus about what authority he has to teach in the temple, however Jesus’ reply about John the Baptists puts them on the defensive end. This parable is aimed towards the teachers and the chief priests (Mark 12:12). At the conclusion of this parable, Jesus is ambushed by the Pharisees and Herodians so they may attempt to catch Jesus off guard (Mark 12:13).

The word abide is used over forty times in Scripture, and most frequently in the fifteenth chapter of John. As followers of Christ our deepest yearning should be to ‘dwell (abide) in the house of the Lord all the days of our life (Psalm 27:4). But often our desires sway and we find ourselves wandering around helplessly searching for other places to dwell.

The Gospel of Matthew is one of the synoptic gospels and the first book of the New Testament. I will be looking specifically at Matthew 5:38-42, a passage that preaches peace and love in the face of violence, but may also have a deeper underlying message. Although these verses are a part of the broader section known as the Sermon on the Mount, a teaching that deals with many issues of community living and faith, I believe this specific passage was an encouragement to the Jewish Christian converts to not strike out against a dominant Roman power, but to instead embrace a different path; a path of peace. The Jews who identified with the new movement of Jesus followers were in the midst of a great change at the time the Gospel of Matthew was written.

Seeing Josh emerge from the alley, the girl from the top floor perks up from her concrete perch. “There you are.” She places her phone on the apartment steps and rises. “I hope you don’t mind, well, you were asleep, so I took your clothes from the dryer and put mine in. I didn’t go through them or anything, I am just in a hurry. My girlfriends and I are going out tonight.”

Charles Dickens is a very famous novelist, who was born on February 7, 1812, in his home of Portsmouth, England. He was a very dedicated man with a great imagination, and he shows his writing skills in his book A Tale of Two Cities, a historical fiction that focuses on the French Revolution. In this book Dickens uses both atmosphere and imagery to describe how brutal and inhumane men can be to each other. He uses scenes of a man’s need for tyranny, a man’s need for entertainment, and a man’s base animal behavior to show that hatred is the reason of man’s being inhumane towards those of his own race.
