John 13: 1-13

The Upper Room Discourse (John 13-17) marked the end of Jesus’ three-year ministry and served to be Jesus’ farewell address to the beloved apostles. During Jesus’ final moments with the apostles, Jesus would proceed to institute a new blood covenant (Luke 22:20; Mark 14:24) and provide final instructions and

• 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

Both Baxter and Witmer, in their books “The Reformed Pastor”,” The Shepherd Leader”, argue about how to be a good leader in a biblical way for Maturate Pastoral Ministry. While Baxter is describing from his own point of view, Witmer harmonizes with Baxter including other points. Firstly, in this essay, we will Compare and contrast Timothy Witmer’s framework for leadership with his “old shepherd friend” Richard Baxter in The Reformed Pastor (1657)

¬¬¬¬ Scripture Passage John 4 10-15 10 “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”

Introduction Good and virtuous leaders are exemplified throughout the bible, but what was required of these early church leaders and are the requisites applicable to modern leadership? As leaders continue to incorporate a biblical ethical component to their leadership practices, it is hoped that good ethical leader succession will be duplicated. This applied exegetical paper will utilize a socio-rhetorical criticism approach to convey what was expected of the early church leaders and how those expectations can relate to modern leaders. I will analyze Titus 1 a Pastoral Epistle written by Apostle Paul through the process of Social and Cultural Texture analysis. Then, the analysis will explore the virtue and ethical leadership ideas of the Apostle Paul. Lastly, this paper will highlight how the ethical concepts are applicable to modern leadership practices.

The objective of this assignment is to give a perspective of Jesus’ reaction found in John 11:1-37. The writer will also review the grief process, in order to give insight on what the grieving person might expect to feel and what they might need. In addition, the various

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 narrative of the resurrection starts in the garden as we see on John 18:1, this is the second major event that took place in the garden, also in (Gen 3). Mary was excited about what she had experience at the tomb, you could hear it in her voice and she was speaking to the other disciple. She stated that she personally witness seeing the risen Lord, and telling them of things that the Lord spoke to her. The reason Mary remained at the tomb was out of respect and love for the Lord. Because the Lord has been risen, this gives all Christians believing the clear path to the Father through the Son.

. In Matthew 13:5 Jesus remarks, “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.” (Matthew 13:5, NIV Version). During Biblical times, salt had two specific purposes. The first use was to act as a preservative for things such as meat, due to the fact that there was no refrigeration. In the same way, Christians need to serve as a preservative to the world. Christians need to preserve the world from the deep- rooted problem of evil, and act as a light within society. Following this, another main purpose of salt during this time was to strengthen flavor, which is similar to what culture uses it for today. When you

The book of 1 John is defense his teaching of the history of Jesus's physical humanity. John uses the type of language that would imply the Christ was amongst him in existence. An example of this is when John says 'we have seen it with our own eyes" and "felt it with our own hands".

1. Samuel asked that Saul to wait for seven days for him to come, but instead Saul did not wait which caused him to sin. Which ultimately lead to the fall of his reign because he sinned and did not follow the word of God that Samuel told him. When Samuel did come back he asked Saul what he had done, “‘You have done foolishly; you have not kept the commandment of the Lord your God, which he commanded you. The Lord would have established your kingdom over Israel forever…” (1 Samuel 13:13) Saul ultimately disobeyed the wishes of God and Samuel, 1 Samuel 13:13-14. Saul thought that since he was losing the faith of the soldiers he had to do something so that they would still follow him and not lose faith. That was his reasoning but I don’t understand

Mat_22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen. All parables have something in common with the above verse, and the parable in John 10 is no different. The only thing that changes between the parables is the emphasis and perspective on either group, i.e. the called or the chosen.

God’s answer to Jeremiah’s objections is similar to what he answered to Moses. The excuses presented by Moses in Ex 3: 11; 4: 10; 6: 12, 7: 1-2 about ‘who is he to present before Pharaoh?” He is insignificant and ineloquent, and because he recognize that if the Israelites do

In John 13, begins with Jesus has his last meal with all of His apostles. The point of Jesus in this teaching is that he knew who his true disciples were because they had placed all their love and faith in Him. During Jesus the last feast, He knew the devil had already fed his betrayer who was Judas Iscariot (John 13:2). Jesus wrapped a towel around his waist and filled water in the basin and He began washing His disciple’s feet (John 13:4-7). In Palestine, foot washing was very common because people wore sandals out in the street which were filthy, and filled with animals’ excrement (Duke, 1995). According to Duke, it was an honor to have guests and for them to feel valued by having slaves to wash their master’s guest’s feet (1995). Now, here is Jesus as a servant washing his apostles’ feet because that was His way of showing how much they meant to Him (Lett, 2016). His true apostles told Him, “You shall never wash my feet” yet, the opposite of what His betrayer asked Him, “Lord, do you wash my feet” (John 13:6-9). The point of this was to show that Jesus took their feet and “pulled them down a hard path of embarrassment, resistance, acquiescence, assurance—then commands us to get up and love like Christ” (Duke, 1995, p. 398).

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.
