Annotation Of John's Relationship

"It appears, that of all the apostle John was especially favoured with our Lord's regard and confidence, so as to be called the

John presents a very different Jesus compared to the synoptic gospels. It is clear that for John Jesus has many complex elements to his personality and without all of these the picture is not complete. The above quote by Käsemann suggests that in the gospel of John Jesus’ divinity is definite and his presence is felt on the entire world through his words and actions. This allows for the human Jesus but implies the divine Jesus is imperative.

The Excerpts for John is a collection of commemorative drawings, painting as well as video recording that highlights the last journey of his childhood friend, now deceased, John. In his work, Valdez has utilized a number of key literature styles in which he fuses the urgency of his intended message with a metaphorical style to bring out several issues in reality that affect the society. The use of metaphor in the artwork addresses some of the current events, historical, political as well as social issues that characterised both local and international events of his time. As an artist, Valdez places all his skills in commemorating his best friend since their childhood days, as he places him at the centre of his storyline.

There are many outside factors that can affect human resources in a company. The state of the economy is a factor that companies can barely control. When it happens, they have to adapt and make sudden changes to the company’s budget, which means letting go of some employees. When making that sudden decision, many lives could be affected. In this case, it was John Smith the father of newborns who suffered that unfortunate fate. He was not the best of workers. His employment now traces back to the company that laid him off because he put his former supervisor Sarah as a reference. Now Sarah is faced with the arduous task of making a decision that might alter John’s future and her own ethical reputation.

There are two kids named John Conlan and Lorraine Jensen and attended high school at Franklin High School.John had met Lorraine on the school bus on their way to school. Both of the kids were good kids except John had a bomb avocation but then he started organizing fruit rolls . Both of the kids were a little Ingrate if they did not get what they wanted. John had friends like Dennis and Norton that should be mortified of their behavior. When those three friends are around they all act infantile towards each other. John and Lorraine got to know each other very well and they started to hang out. They were taking a walk one day and the turned on Howard Avenue where there were nice houses except one-ninety. Ninety-one Howard Avenue was a dump,

In the “Acts of John”, John and James both see Jesus, but John sees him as a “man with a fair and cheerful countenance” while James sees a child (88). That image again changes with John sees him as “bald with a thick beard” and that he

John is a very quiet, and shy person. He would probably be described as an awkward character. He doesn’t have a lot of friends. John is just a kid in high school, who gets abused by his stepfather, and is trying to really hard to get by in life. John talks to others mostly, “inside of his head.” In most of the book, he is always in his thoughts. When he talks to his algebra teacher, he refers to her as “Mrs. Moonface,” describing her appearance. “You Don’t know me and you will never”. John is alone and has not very much or even a lot of friends. He talks to himself and starts about his thoughts in his head as if anybody else would.

The author of 1 John was concerned about the conditions within the group, which related to false teachings of some Christians. Specifically, the physical humanity of Jesus, his Incarnation “in the flesh”, and the necessity of showing love for fellow believers (Harris, 2014, p.437). The book of 1 John may have been a response to protoGnostics, secessionists who were predecessors of the Gnosticism that challenged other forms of Christianity from the second through the fifth centuries CE (Harris, 2014, p.437). Specifically, Gnosticism concentrated on a two-fold view of the cosmos, which represented the belief that only the spirit was pure and good and that the physical world, the creation of a subordinate god, was permanently dishonest.

Most scholars do not believe that the author of John’s Gospel was based on the earlier Gospels (Harris, 2014). Scholars, such as Thomas Brodie, had a difference of opinion pertaining to whether the Gospel of John was created on behalf of John own account with Jesus (Harris, 2014). He challenged the different that the important material from the Synoptics was transformed. Brodie concluded after careful research that John’s Gospel was based on a theological rearrangement of the traditions life and meaning of Jesus (Harris, 2014). John’s narrative represented mainstream Christianity instead of the independent Johannine community. However, the major differences between the Synoptics Gospels and the Fourth Gospel of John were that John’s vision

Johannine literature truly portrays Jesus as God, with the theme of His deity interwoven throughout numerous passages. In this respect, John’s style differs from the other four gospels, as Bickel & Jantz (1998) point out that the other three had been written prior to John’s gospel, therefore, “he wasn’t interested in just retelling the events” (p. 222). Since Jesus is the focal point of Scripture, a scholar of the New Testament with uncertainty concerning Jesus’ oneness with God will fail to perceive the crux of Christianity. Therefore, in spite of its importance, John does not focus on Jesus’ entrance into the

The Gospel of John differs in many key areas to the Synoptics,and I will address some differing lines of thought.

John the Baptist was born in a family of a priesthood background. His father, Zachariah, was of the “priestly division of Abijah.” His mother, Elizabeth, also come from a priesthood background. The lineage of John the Baptist is a clear example of how God took everything into account for preparing him to be messenger of Jesus. John’s parents were righteous before God, and they followed all the commandments of God. Elizabeth wanted to have a child, she was considered to be “barren,” but in one occasion the angel Gabriel appeared to Zachariah and told him that his prayers had been heard. The angel told him that his wife,

The Book of 1 John is a very important book because even thought it was written during the 90 A.D and the authorship of this book has not been discover. It has some meaningful information for the people during that time and is even relevant to the believers and unbeliever of today. The Book of 1 John has many themes displayed throughout this book even though it only has five chapters in the entire book. One of the major themes displayed in this book is love. 1 John 2:7-17 scriptures let us know that God’s greatest command and greatest gift to people is Love. He lets the people of this time that this is not a new commandment because it was required in the Old Testament and it remains in the New Testament. As a believer we must love everyone just as God love us. Another example of love being displayed in 1 John is 3:11-24 when God provided us with a clear example of his love by providing a bad example and a positive example of how love should be. From this example Blomberg mentioned that “We should expect the world to hate us as they hated Christ, but we should lay down our lives for one another if necessary. The next most powerful demonstration of the genuineness of our love comes when we share from the surplus of our material possessions to help those in need (Blomberg. 2006)”. Then lastly, 1 John 4:7-21 talks about love again, that when you love it should be divine and genuine. That love should be displayed in an emotion way but we should also show love to God by obeying

The ability to relax, gazing with an eagle-eye Him illuminating the essence of His pure and undefiled love upon my tongue to expound wisdom, knowledge and understanding.

Throughout the ages, many have tried to comprehend the human experience of love and its ineffable and mysterious force that leads us to complete euphoria or utter despair, with songs, paintings, and stories. In Plato’s Symposium, six guest including Socrates, tackle and attempt to define love amongst each other. With each attempt, and our study of Johns gospel, the intertextuality between the symposium and John 15:8-17 helps one better understand the portrait that John portrays of Jesus as the ultimate lover and only way to being fully complete.
