The Gospel of John - Part 17

THE CRUCIFIXION

Without a doubt, the greatest crime ever committed by man. But praise Jesus for allowing Himself to go through this for the sake of His elect.

The Gospel of John - Part 11

John 11:17-57 - Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead. One of the greatest scenes in all of Scripture. Nothing more need be said.

The Gospel of John - Part 10

Part 10 begins in Chapter 10:1 with Jesus reiterating to the Jews, two of His "I Am" statements. First, that He is the Door, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the Door of the sheep" - verse 7 and again in verse 9 He says, "I am the door. If anyone enters by me he will be saved..." Then in verse 11 Jesus tells the Jews, "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep."

Later Jesus is in the temple during the Feast of Dedication when he tells the Jews, "I and the Father are one." - verse 30. To the church today this doesn't mean much but what Jesus is saying here is that He is God. The Jews certainly knew what He meant because they picked up stones to stone Him for blasphemy.

Part ten then concludes with the beginning of the story of Lazarus which we'll see in the next part - part 11

Enjoy and God bless

The Gospel of John - Part 9

Here in part 9 we have the complete story of Jesus' healing of the blind man. If you're a TurningPoint member you're aware the Pastor David has been preaching through the Gospel of John. It wasn't long ago that he preached on this very passage.

If you recall, Jesus' disciples ask Him in John 9:2, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" We learned that the answer was neither; instead he was born blind so that, "the works of God might be displayed in him." - verse 3.

From there we see the Pharisees grill the blind man and try to get him to call Jesus a sinner because He healed him on the Sabbath. But the ex-blind man gets fed up with this and I believe is moved by God when he says to them in verses 30-33, "Why, this is an amazing thing! You do not know where he comes from, and yet He opened my eyes. We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will God listens to him. Never since the world began has it been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a man born blind. If this man were not from God, He could do nothing."

Enjoy this incredible passage of Scripture. God bless.

The Gospel of John - Part 6

Part 6 begins in Chapter 6:16-21. This is the miracle when Jesus walked on water. After feeding the 5000, Jesus goes off to pray and the disciples get into a boat and head for Capernaum. Jesus then comes to them in the night, walking on the water.

In the second half of the video, Jesus proclaims to the crowd that He is the Bread of Life. In verse 44, Jesus says, "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day."

Jesus then tells them that they must eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood in order to have life. This of course causes much grumbling among the Jews.

Then again in verse 65 Jesus reiterates what he said in verse 44, "This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father."

Can anybody see the doctrine of Election here?? Salvation is all of God and none of us.

God bless and enjoy
