John 15 : 1-11 And Other Passages

Firstly, Jesus was Jewish and he would teach in different synagogues throughout the villages he travelled to. While in those villages Jesus would also heal those who were suffering. In his teachings he touched the hearts of the people and this created instability which frightened Jewish religious authorities. A group of men who Jesus touched started to follow and became his disciples. Jesus taught them about the will of God; as well as about a “new covenant” that God will bring to humanity through Himself, Jesus Christ.

First and the most important teaching that Jesus says it about a million time is to love

God loved and care for His creation of humanity so much, that He sent Himself to earth in human form, Jesus Christ the messiah to save all people of all nations. God as Jesus develop human relationships with the people around Him, especially the twelve disciples who he sent out to proclaim the message of God’s kingdom. Jesus even spoke to the disciples about loving him more than they would ever love their wife or children before Him. God wanted to be your first love before anyone else in your life, he wanted a lasting deep relationship in your life, He wanted to actively involve with humanity. God loved humanity and wanted an eternal bond with His creation “that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall

We are currently revising the scripture of Romans. I was assigned Romans 15: 1- 13. The whole assignment was meant for us to get a deeper understanding of this passage. Our teacher, Mr.Handle gave us 5 sources to look into to get as much information needed. The first assignment was to create an outline that would guide us through the essay. The next assignment was to copy and paste a word for word copy of our passage and a thought for thought copy and read over it and notice the difference in scripture. After we put the word for word passage into Google Drawings and picked it apart, trying to obtain as much information as we could. Right there he gave us at least 4 sources. Our last

21). I agree, it is vital that the disciple is involved in an intentional, ongoing plan that challenges themselves to greater Christ-likeness which manifests itself in the nurturing of others toward wholeness. This is what we are called to do when we become children of God. Christian Spiritual formation cannot happen in solitude; therefore, the purpose of spiritual formation is to ultimately lived out in community. This aligns with my view of personal and corporate spiritual formation. If we are not conformed to the image of Christ, we cannot incarnate in our relationships with others. Therefore, if we say we love God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit we are to love others. The image of Christ will be seen as the ultimate reality of human wholeness, the consummation for which each heart longs (Mullholland, p. 21). Therefore, God’s people has a role in healing brokenness and injustice in the world (p. 21). We are to be the salt and light of the world (Matthew

Jesus is the light for a world that is filled with dark choices. Jesus helps us to enjoy music for the sound and rhythm. To party for fun alone and not for getting high. He helps us to separate ourselves from those who are rebellious and end up fighting with the justice system over custody of their children like Britney Spears. Jesus Christ protects us from coming under the judgment that happens to those who refuse to obey the spiritual laws that govern our societies.

This message was passed on throughout the world with faith of a man named Jesus Christ who became their messiah also known as their savior. Their gospel message was simple "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16). Followers of Christ believe that God created man from the ground as told by disciple Genesis “then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.” Jesus taught a moral code based on love, charity, and humility and he asked the faithful to follow his lessons and abandon worldly

The image of God as a Vine appears in the gospel of John 15, "I am the vine; you are the branches” (The New Oxford Annotated Bible: New Revised Standard Version, verse 5). Verse 1 of John 15 adds the adjective “true” to vine. Jesus is speaking to his disciples in the text. This is the last of seven “I am” statements that Jesus speaks. The metaphors of the “I Am” statements were chosen by Christ to describe his New Covenant Messianic identity in contrast to the failures experienced under the Old Covenant (Hutchison 70, 71). John is the only book that records the “I Am” statements or records Jesus[God] as a vine(Hutchison 63, 64, 72).

Christ becomes an example to the Apostles when he tells the men not to send the multitude away to buy food, rather Christ decided to provide them food as a service to the multitude. I believe that the Savior shows the highest form of love by reaching out to serve people through physically and spiritually feeding them before he was able to take time to mourn for the loss of John the Baptist. Christ also teaches the importance of prayer and communication with our Heavenly Father when he takes time to pray alone. “He prepared Himself to teach by spending time alone in prayer and fasting. In daily, private moments, He sought His heavenly Father’s guidance.”

The parable of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15 teaches us about God's desire to forgive us through the gift of Reconciliation. Throughout the parable, the importance of relationship is highlighted and through these relationships we understand God's desire for forgiveness. At each point of the parable, relationships are tested and ultimately strengthened through love, mercy and compassion.

1. John 15:8, “Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.” 2. Jesus’ desire is for every one of His disciples to bear much fruit and glorify His Father; this is truly what it means to be Jesus disciple. 3.

This fundamental question is explored throughout all of the readings of Matthew from the bible. The story from the very beginning displays how important each human being is by displaying Jesus’ lineage to us. In doing so, we are able to see that the savior of our world and the Son of God could not have come to be if it weren’t for the peasants and Kings of generations before him. Every life means something, but not every life has meaning. In other words, one must possess the faith of God in his actions in life and follow his way of life to be living a life of meaning and purpose. This is evident in chapter

The parable of the shrewd manager is the parable appears only in Luke’s Gospels and really exemplifies how much Jesus is against dishonesty. This was common during the time this parable was being taught, especially involving Jewish merchants. The parable talks about a rich man who had a manager, whom the rich man accused of not performing his job. Being afraid of losing his job, the steward concocts a plan to impress his master and decides to collect all the debts owed to the rich man from others. He sat down each debtor and had them reduce what they owned the rich man.

Jesus as teacher tells us to be good, follow him, and live ethical lives. In this model, Jesus is saving us from our own ignorance because we do not know right from wrong. He wants us to change our uncaring behavior by him educating and inspiring each of us through his teachings and examples of love and knowledge. Jesus is the bridge between us and God that covers ignorance and apathy. By him covering that, we change and learn, we live the ethical lives he wants us to live, and we teach and share with our fellow Christians.

Jesus Christ of Nazareth was the supreme preacher of all time. The Son of God serves as an example for us to follow in pastoral ministry. During his earthly ministry, Jesus called down the false teaching of the Religious leaders of his days. In fact, Christ was crucified by the Religious leaders for preaching the true doctrines of God’s Word.
