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."

April 14, 2024 The Messenger "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, "This was He of whom I said, 'He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me.'" And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him." "Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." Jesus here makes it crystal clear that everything now runs through Him. He is the Way to salvation. He is the source of all Truth. He brings to us Life; and there is no other way to get to God except through Him. He came down to us to build a bridge up to God. This is all done through grace; unmerited favor form God. We don't deserve it, but God offers it to us out of His love for us. Heavenly Father, thank You for the Word. Please use it to build our faith stronger and deeper so in times of trials we run to You first trusting that You are leading and we are following. Grant us the ability to display our faith in our everyday life reflecting Your Light to them fulfilling our calling to be Your messengers.
"No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it." Whenever we find ourselves in a situation that does not seem to have a direct rule or command concerning the predicament, do whatever you do to the glory of God and you will find that you did not err in the decision. Our Lord is a truly awesome and wonderful God full of joy, when we correctly place Him in the driver's seat of our daily lives, we will find that He can disarm and diffuse the greatest of our enemies.
