John 10 Parable

Growing up as an African American in a white world in the late 1800’s was incredibly ruthless. Even after slavery, blacks had a hard time trying to get work, education or civil rights. Education was a major topic in debate for blacks and whites. Education, the most important thing in life, acts as the key to a person 's future. Education leads to knowledge, and knowledge leads to power. It teaches humans how to prosper and make good decisions. With a good education, people hold the ability to achieve all types of goals, and more doors will open for them. African-Americans held every right to obtain this basic human right. White and blacks took on many different paths with education and W.E.B. Du Bois tell a short story about it all.

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

Do you ever wonder if what you about to do is right in the sight of God? Do you have questions that you seek answers to from God’s word? We all get in situations when there appears to be no clear answer to satisfy that what we are about to participate in is right. The truth is that oftentimes our life is built around things that aren’t wrong; they just don’t have any spiritual value. We should ask ourselves, “How does this help me grow spiritually?” Is what I am doing or want to do going to benefit me in my Christian life? Will I glorify Jesus by doing it?

In the Gospel of John 18-33B-37 Pilot and Jesus are having a conversation. Pilot asks Jesus if he is the King of the Jews. Jesus asks Pilot in return if he asked that question because he thought Jesus was the King of the Jews, or because he was told that. Pilot responds to Jesus and said that he was not a Jew and it was his own people who turned in. Pilot then asks Jesus what he has done to make them turn him in. Jesus answers and tells Pilot that his kingdom does not belong to the people of this world. He continues saying that if it did the people would be defending him instead of turning him in as they had done. Pilot asked Jesus for the second time if he was the King of the Jews. This time

In John 10:1-42 this passages serves to introduce the idea of being a good shepherd and how to incorporate it in their day to day routine. He uses the analogy of a good shepherd because at the time a large portion of individual’s occupation consisted of being a shepherd. In this gospel he states that we, as in the children of god are like the sheep. That Jesus himself is the good shepherd. The devil and other evil beings are like thieves, paid shepherds and wolves in this story. By summarizing and reading in between the lines, this parable has many significant concepts of how future leaders of the church should be expected to act. Along with this John wanted his readers to understand the idea of false prophets.

Cardinal Kasper draws attention to the fact that “through his teaching and miracles, Jesus sought [initially] to gather the people of God.” Christ started the process of gathering God’s Chosen People (i.e. Israel) together by calling the twelve disciples—who were meant to represent the twelve tribes eschatologically. With the calling of the Twelve, Jesus demonstrates that he “did not intend to found a separate community… [like] the Church.” Because of Christ’s “interpretation of the Mosaic Law, his treatment of the Sabbath, his eating with sinners and his forgiving of sins[,]… the leaders of the [Jewish] people… opposed… him.” This lamentable opposition led to the establishment of a new community, the Church, which would be universally open to all people: Jews and Gentiles. (Kasper, pg.

In the Gospel of John 10:27-30 Jesus is speaking about how his people are like a flock of sheep. Jesus says that he knows all of his sheep by name, and that they are all followers of him. Since he has given his sheep eternal life, they will not suffer. Jesus’ sheep cannot be taken away from him and as long as they are with him they are in good hands. God the Father, who gave these sheep to Jesus, could not be separated from his sheep either. They both love us so much that it would cause them great suffering if they were ever separated from us. Jesus said that he and his father are one and that they are same person.

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 book of John expresses that the Word of God has always existed.This is illustrating that God has been here forever. He is an everlasting God. The Word is revealed as Jesus Christ. He, the Word, was with God and was God. Everything was created through Him. All aspects of life have light through the Word.

for this story to connect to two other parables this might be difficult to show however i will try my best (not really too good to put on a test, but ill try to show as much as possible.) so this story shows that jesus was trying to teach his dispiles a simple message which was: "its not what you eat that makes you dirty but what you say." the disciples didnt get that message however somehow and just kept asking what. jesus gets frustrated and explains it how it is. the next parable is when the caananite woman comes out and asks for her daughter to be healed. jesus ignores her to prove his point later. the woman shouts and then asks for forgivness and compares her life as a dog waiting for food to come to the floor to eat. peter then proves

In this study of John chapter 14, verses 1-14. We will be taking a critical look at verse 12, where Jesus states, “you will do greater things than these.” We will be researching what Jesus may have meant when he stated this. What exactly would we be doing that is “greater things than these.” Who was Jesus actually addressing when he spoke this passage? Who is the “you” he is referring to in the passage?

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

On the whole, God’s grandeur within humanity, people’s beautiful sexual gardens, developed into landscapes of lust driven weeds and briers of lies from hell. Within the enlightening teachings of Jesus Christ, He continually discusses the mystery of a garden or field and of a person’s kingdom within. His teaching references the mystery of the ‘kingdom of God’ close to a hundred times in the Gospels Candidly, Jesus did not want all people to comprehend His true meaning in His narratives; as this fact becomes witnessed through His mystical parables, such as this one, that puzzled nearly all. Jesus noticeably indicates this to His followers. This acknowledgement of intentional obscurity used by Jesus becomes distinguishing and certainly apparent that He purposely tries to conceal ‘something.’

The parable of the Lost Son found in Luke chapter 15, verses 11-32, shows the importance of practising repentance, and of finding the spiritually lost and returning them to the Lord. The parable demonstrates that the Lord wishes that we return to his kingdom; reconsidering our actions and realising wrong judgment does not affect God’s love is what it means to ‘find oneself’ and enter into the kingdom of the Lord. The parable of the Lost Son is a direct continuation of the two parables preceding it (the parable of the lost sheep and the parable of the lost coin). The three parables, just as with the other parables Jesus used to teach a particular message, comes in a set of three to emphasise a specific message.

For part one of the paper I’ll be discussing John 12:1-8 in its context. I will be answering all the questions that are asked in the syllabus. The passage begun with a dinner in Bethany, a village at the foot of the eastern slope of the Mount of Olives. It is a dinner in honor of the Messiah and His disciples who have come to Jerusalem to celebrate the feasts of the holy week of Passover. Within the narrative world of John 's Gospel this passage has a good deal of meaning through its connections to other scenes and themes. John 's story of Mary anointing Jesus at Bethany is told on the last Sunday of Lent before Palm Sunday. It is a story of the preparations for Jesus ' passion, death, and burial. This is a passionate story.
