Each of the four Gospels contains points in ecclesiology. In the Great Commission, Jesus’ last instruction to the Apostles is to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing and teaching people (Matthew 28:19-20). For Jesus’ mission to continue and for his Church to grow, discipleship is necessary. Discipleship is a prominent theme in all four Gospels, for purposes of this essay, only the Gospels of John and Luke-Acts will be analyzed. The similarities regarding discipleship in these Gospels include images of the net and fishing, and the sheep/shepherd/sheepfold. The differences include the preparing of the Twelve to carry on Jesus' ministry in Luke, and service to the community and passing of authority in John's Gospel.

The principles of discipleship can be found throughout the Bible. One of the ultimate goals of discipleship is to become more Christ like which makes Jesus's life and grace an excellent basis for discipleship. Jesus invested in twelve men, the first Disciples, and entrusted them to continue the process. Peter, James, and John were a part of Christ's inner circle and he fostered and encouraged an exalted spiritual life and growth in these three. Paul was a Pharisee who was murdering Christians and then his life was transformed and he became an apostle. He gave his life over to God's purpose not only in a broad perspective, bringing the Gospel to the Gentiles, but also personal. Timothy was a disciple of Paul; Paul was personally involved in Timothy's life. The Great Commission commands the Disciples, in Matthew 28:19, to "go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit". The Disciples followed the Great Commission and Christianity spread. Believers are meant to follow the

John the Baptist is a significant and familiar character in the Bible. Even as significant and familiar as he is, very little is known about him. We are told that he was born to Zechariah, a temple priest, and his mother, Elizabeth, was a cousin to Mary, the mother of Jesus. From other bits and pieces within the Bible, we know he was an unusual character. He chose to live a rugged life in the mountainous area of Judea between the city of Jerusalem and the Dead Sea. His clothes were made out of camel’s hair and his diet consisted of locusts and wild honey. Yum! Even though little is known of him, his coming was foretold over 700 years prior by the prophet Isaiah. Isaiah said, “A voice of one calling: ‘In the desert prepare the way for

John realizes what he must do, he must find out the truth of the Place of the Gods. None of his people have ever been to the Place of the Gods. They do not know they truth about it, so the knowledge they had been spreading is false. John knew it would be difficult for his people to understand the truth after being taught wrong for so many years.

Melisa Abraham 2/20/16 English 2 Adv. Quotation Assignment Book: Go Tell It On a Mountain by James Baldwin 1. “EVERYONE HAD ALWAYS SAID THAT JOHN WOULD BE A preacher when he grew up, just like his father. It had been said so often that John, without ever thinking about it, had come to believe it himself.” Pg. 1

John poses a series of questions about the validity of the Prophet Muhammad and his teachings. Since Christ was foretold in the Prophets, he asks “How is it that your prophet came without having others bear witness to him?” Then, he mocks Muhammad by suggesting that because the scriptures appeared to him in his sleep, he must have been “spinning in his dreams.”

John the Baptist was an obedient follower of Christ and was known for his remarkable lifestyle. His main audience was unbelievers and new Christians, therefore, he had a huge responsibility to preach about repentance and the coming of the Savior. When it came to confrontation, John did not hold

Introduction Modernity is the ongoing changes in society that are breaking away from the traditional life we knew it and the continuing plans for the future (Macionis & Plummer 2012, p.140). Features of modernity include, industrialisation, urbanisation, secularisation, individualisation, consumerism, globalisation and rationalisation. In this case study we will focus

1 John is written as reassurance to Christians of their faith in 85-95 A.D. John says to his fellow believers, "I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but you know it, and because no lie is of the truth” (1 John 2:21). John's audience knew the truth of Christ, but false prophets had come and were distorting their certainty of the gospel; therefore, John was making sure these followers of Christ were not falling for any deceit, but rather remembering who they believe in, and standing firm in that faith.He encouraged them in their faith by stating who God was. "The message we have heard form him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all” (1:5).

John The Baptists Work In Luke 1: 16,17 the angel of the Lord says that John will bring the Israelites back to their God, he will go before God in the spirit of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the parents to their children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous. This will make ready a people prepared for the Lord.” So this shows what John work was. It was to get the people ready for the Lord. He did this by many ways like baptism. He even baptized Jesus. This is the work that John was called to do.

As John Wesley continued to struggle with is belief and what he thought to be the true theology he gained insight from a variety of people. It was on the ship to America that John first encounter the German Moravians. It was during this trip that John began to question his beliefs because he realized he was scared to meet his creator. Yet, he noticed during the times on the ship when people were afraid for their lives that the German Moravians seemed to be calm as they huddled together singing psalms.

The author of this work identifies himself as John in Revelation 1:1 as servant John, who “bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ.” John plainly gives his purpose to deliver the prophecy of the end of time as “time is near (Revelation 1:3).”

Miraculously, John was born to an old priest Zachariah and a pious, old, barren mother named Elizabeth (Luke 1:5-7, 57). Indeed, John’s birth indicated the inception of God’s promised program to redeem His people. At last, God sent the last of the Old Testament prophet to Israel to break the four hundred years of silence. As God promised, John appeared in the role of a prophet proclaiming the coming Messiah, but he was introduced as John the Baptist. John’s ministry was associated with baptism, so baptism became his identifying sign and caused John to be known as John the

John as we know today was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus. He was also the brother of James, who was also an apostle. John was the son of Zeebee and of Salome. His father was a fisherman while living in Bethsaida in Galilee on the border of the lake Gennesareth. John's mother was one of many women who gave to the maintenance of Jesus Christ. John's parents were very good people, they loved God and his son. It is said that john and his brother James were fishing when Jesus came and chose them. They were soon known as the fishers of men. The John of whom I am talking about is John the Evangelist.
