Youth Bible Study
Studying the Gospel of John on Sunday Mornings John's gospel is written intimatley from the perspective of one who considered himself to be Jesus’ best friend as you could argue no one knew Him better. He lived a long life following Jesus from perhaps his teens into his 90s. It was a long life, but sometime difficult one often being persecuted for his faith. He was exiled to the island of Patmos later in his life where he was given wonderful visions of heaven and future events which he wrote about in the Book of Revelations. He is the only apostle to die of natural causes. His Gospel differs from the other three in that rather than telling a story in order, he hand picks events to prove a certain point. The point he emphasizes is that Jesus is the Son of God. His close relationship with Jesus empowers his words to have extra special meaning as an insider rather than one observing from the outside. He actually states the purpose for writing this account near the end in chapter 20. "And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples,
which are not written in this book; but these are written that you
may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing
you may have life in His name."

May 5, 2024 For God So Loved Me "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." We must be very careful to not become "gospel hardened" to the true meaning behind these scriptures. There is a depth here that we must search out. Why did God do this? Because He loves us. How did He do this? Through the giving of His Only Son for our sins. Who is this for? Whoever believes What is given? Eternal life (fellowship with God). The mission of Jesus (His life's work) was not one to condemn us, but to offer us a chance to be saved through Him (a rescue mission). They key to this is we must believe it was for me He did this. "God so loved me that He gave His only begotten Son that when I believe, I will not perish but have eternal life." Do you grasp that God is pursing you and desires you to believe in Him and be saved? He created you and knows you and He loves you! He calls you from this scripture to come and follow Him. He has something better for you. He is what you have been searching for. He completes you!
I Corinthians 13:1-13 "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love."
