What are the distinctive features of Matt
|
Purpose: To prove that Jesus is the Messiah, the eternal king, and teach obedience to Jesus’ commands. More than any other Gospel it stresses Jesus’ relation to the OT. More Jewish than the others (unexplained Jewish customs) • Quotations of OT • OT prophesy fulfilled • Theological discussions framed in rabbinical debate
|
|
|
|
What are the distintive features of Mark?
|
Purpose: To present the person, work and teaching of Jesus– the good news. Shortest of the gospels, tells more about the actions than the teachings of Jesus. Direct and fast moving style carries us to the cross. • More action/ less talk • Abrupt ending • More evangelistic • Learned message probably from Peter
|
|
|
|
What are the distinctive features of Luke
|
Purpose: To present an accurate account of the life of Christ and to present Christ as the perfect man and savior– Assurance of truth about Jesus (1:1–4). This is the longest and most literary of the Gospels. Presents Jesus’ ancestry, birth, and early life before moving carefully through his ministry, death and resurrection, Luke is also the most comprehensive of the Gospels. • Interest in history • Emphases: prayer, wealth, women, Spirit • Written for disciples • Focus on ministry to general outcasts • Learned message probably from Paul
|
|
|
|
What are the distinctive features of John
|
Jesus is Son of God and those who believe in him have eternal life. There is a focus on the mystery of X and the incarnation, his relationship with the Father. Simplicity of construction generally makes it the first portion of Scripture to be translated into another language. Seven I am sayings, Jew & Gentile appeal, lots of teaching, not a lot of details.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Discuss the Healing of the Paralytic
|
Luke 5:17–26 Jesus demonstrates his power and authority, not just to heal, but to forgive sin. The paralytic demonstrates that there are times when our faith must overcome obstacles (even when the door is closed) to believe in order to receive the blessing of God.
|
|
|
|
Discuss the Feeding of the 5000
|
Matthew 14:13–21 (14,6,9,6) Jesus demonstrates his compassion for the people who had come so far and sat so long to hear his teaching. After telling the disciples to feed the people and they were not able to, Jesus prays and the Father multiplies the food so that all are feed and there is left over (12 baskets full). In this, Jesus shows himself to be the bread of life and that in him is our plenty.
|
|
|
|
Discuss Raising Lazarus from the Dead
|
John 11:38–44 Jesus intentionally delays his arrival so that he may demonstrate his power over death. As well this miracle shows Jesus’ compassion to those who bear the scars of that fallen world (when he weeps) and shows us the love and mercy of our great high priest.

But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

By this we may know that we are in him: 1 John 5:13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life. 1 John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

Repentance
|
Matt 3:2 John the Baptist – Repent the Kingdom of God is at hand Mat 4:17 Christ's message – Repent the Kingdom of God is at hand Acts 2:37 Peter's message Hebrews 12:17
|
Esau desired to inherit the blessing, rejected, found no change to repent though he sought it with tears

|
Sovereignty of God
|
Gen 1 God as creator – ex nihilo Rom 9 will what is molded say to its molder / vessels of wrath & mercy Job 42: 2 “I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.
|
God is sovereign in creation God is sovereign in his purposes and determination God is never thwarted
|
|
|
Deity of Christ
|
Matt. 11:27 – all things handed over to me (X) by the Father John 1 – Word was God John 10:30 – I and the Father are one. Heb. 1:1–4 radiance of the glory of God, exact imprint of his nature… Col 1 – image of the invisible God... all things created
|
Father giving all to Son Word was with God I and the Father are one Exact imprint of his nature Image of the invisible God

Resurrection (Christ's and ours):
|
Gospels Last chapters of all the gospels 28,16,24,20–21 1 Cor 15 Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 1 Thess 4 We do not want you to be uninformed about those who have fallen asleep… John 5:29 those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
|
Historical Resurrection Our resurrection is based upon Christs, w/o it preaching vain & faith is futile At Christ's return dead will rise and those who are alive will meet the Lord in the air with them There is a resurrection of the good and the evil
|
|
|
Return of Christ
|
Matt 24–25 Coming of Son of Man, Fig Tree, Parables about Return 1Thess 4–5 we do not want you to be uninformed about those who are dead…
|
Teachings from Matthew At Christ's return dead will rise and those who are alive will meet the Lord in the air with them
|
|
|
Speaking in Tongues:
|
Acts 2 (Pentecost), 10 (Gentiles) 1Cor 14 – Paul’s instructions
|
|
|
|
Spiritual Gifts
|
Rom 12:3–8 one body many members 1 Cor 12–14 one body many members & gifts, orderly use of them Eph. 4:1–13 unity of the Spirit in bond of peace – differing grace but one: body, Spirit, baptism, God and Father…
|
Paul taught about one body many members Paul taught about one body many members Exhortation to Ephesians
|
|
|
Civil Government
|
Matt 22 – paying taxes to Caesar Rom 13 – every person be subject to the governing authorities… 1 Tim 2 – Pray for kings & all those in high positions
|
Christians owe certain duties to secular government Christians are to subject themselves to governing authorities Christians are to pray for their governing authorities
|
|
|
Work
|
2 Thess 3 – warnings against idleness – anyone not willing to work should not eat… Portraits from various gospels (always people at work, rewards Matt 25)

|
The Church
|

|
Qualifications for church officers
|
1Tim 3 Titus 1 1Peter 5
|
Character qualities by Paul to Timothy Character qualities by Paul to Titus Character qualities by Peter To elect of the dispersion…
|
|
|
Biblical Discipline:
|
Matt 18 Process for reconcilliation / Church Discipline 1 Cor 5 Judment happens within the church – not for those outside 2 Cor 2 The repentant are to be forgiven and restored Gal 6` "Bear one another's burdens, test you own work" Titus 3 Having noting to do with those who continue stirring up division after two warnings
|
Personal process for reconciliation or discipline Discipline applies to church members The repentant are to be forgiven and restored Bear with each other, be watchful of yourself There is a time to excommunicate
|
|
|
Women in the church
|
1Cor 14 – women keep silent, not permitted to speak, be in submission, shameful for a woman to speak… 1Tim 2 – women respectably adorned, learn quietly with submission, not permitted to teach or exercise authority over man, remain quite, appeal to Gen 2&3 Book of Acts – Women are mentioned either directly or indirectly over 20 times in the book of Acts. (Dorcus, Priscilla)
|
|
|
|
Giving
|
Ex 35–36 HS motivated the people of Israel in their giving to the tabernacle till Moses restrained them. Matt 6 – left hand not knowing what right hand is doing… 2Cor 8–9 Macedonian giving out of poverty, stirring up Corinthians – "God loves a cheerful giver" Phil 4 – partnership with Paul in ministry, Philippians supported Paul financially in Thessalonica,
|
motivated by HS not for our own glory example and attitude partnership in the ministry
|
|
|
Money
|
Matt 6 Don't lay up treasures where moth and rust corrupt…. Don’t be anxious about tomorrow 1 Tim 6 Great gain in godly contentment & warning to the rich James 3 & 5 Don't show preference to the wealthy & warning to the rich
|
Sermon on the Mount deals with treasures and anxiety Timothy commends contentment & warns rich James condemns preference & warns rich
|
|
|
Marriage
|
Gen 2 – Adam & Eve 1Cor 7:1–7 – Paul’s principles for marriage Eph. 5:22–33 – Husbands and Wives relating Col 3:18–19 – Life in Christian Households 1Pet. 3:1–7 – Living the gospel before unsaved spouse, living with wife in understanding, wife submitting…
|
|
|
|
Divorce
|
Matt 5:21 except on grounds of sexual immorality makes wife commit adultery & whoever marries a divorced wife commits adultary Matt 19:1–12 "divorce for any cause" "only because of the hardness of heart" Mark 10:34–45 whoever divorces wife & marries another commits adultery against her… if wife divorces husband & marries another, she commits adultery.” 1 Cor 7:14 "Not separate from unbelieving wife – let her leave – how do you know you will not save her"
|
only on grounds of sexual immorality or you are forcing other to commit adultery / marrying a divorced person is committing adultery Moses permitted divorce only because of hardness of heart Moses permitted divorce only because of hardness of heart – offense goes both ways Not to divorce due to unbelieving spouse
|
|
|
Family
|
Eph 5 & 6 Wives submit, Husbands love, Children obey, fathers don't provoke Col 3 Wives submit, Husbands love, Children obey, fathers don't provoke 1 Peter 3 Wives subject yourselves, husbands dwell with understanding 1 Tim 5 if anyone does not provide for relatives & especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
|
Pauls instructions to Ephesians Pauls instructions to Colossians Peters instructions to elect dispersion Paul's instruction to Timothy… care for members of household
|
|
|
Homosexuality
|
Rom. 1:26–27 – God gave them up to dishonorable passions, relation contrary to nature, shameless acts Lev 18:22 – shall not lie with a male as with a woman… it is an abomination
|
|
|
|
Heaven and hell
|
Mat 25:30 parable – servant cast into utter darkness, weeping, gnashing Mat 25:31–46 sheep – eternal life / goats – eternal punishment Luke 23:43 Today you shall be with me in paradise John 5:28–30 good to ressurection of life, evil to the resurrection of judgment John 14 In my father's house are many mansions… I go to prepare a place for you Rev 20:10–15 Second death Rev 21 New heavens new earth new Jerusalem
|
Jesus taught about it – servant cast into darkness Jesus taught about it – sheep and goats Thief on cross Resurrection of good and evil Christ preparing a place Second death Trajectory of the redemption
|
|
|
Reconciliation among believers
|
Col 3:13 Bear with one another, forgive as Christ has forgiven you Matt 18 Process of personal reconciliation and church discipline Matt 6, Lk 11 Forgive us our debts, as we have forgiven our debtors… if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you… Matt 18:21ff so also my heavenly Father will do to … you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart Mark 11:25 forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you 1 Cor 6 Don’t go to court against a fellow believer 2 Cor 2 Forgive and restore the repentant
|
The forgiveness we have received is the reason we are to forgive others The process of personal reconciliation and church discipline Lord's prayer assumes AND requires that we will forgive The Lord taught it in parable and illustrations (unforgiving servant) The Lord taught it in parable and illustrations (fig tree) Don’t go to court against a fellow believer Forgive and restore the repentant
|
|
|
Suffering
|
Mark 10:35–45 request of James & John… Christ came to serve, give his life a ransom for many Luke 9:23–24 X take up your cross daily and follow me Jn 10 example of the good shepherd who laid down his life for the sheep 2 Cor 1:3–11 God of comforts comforts us in our suffering – we are sharing in Christ's suffering 2 Cor 4:7–18 afflicted in every way, but not crushed / perplexed not driven to despair Rom 8:28 outlook of faith – all things work together for those who are called according to his purpose Heb 12 father disciplines sons, seems painful for moment, yeilds peaceful fruit for righteousness 1 Peter 2:19–25 endure sorrow, suffering unjustly as Christ did 1 Peter 3:13–18 better to suffer for doing good if the Lord wills it… Chris suffered once – righteous or the unrighteous 1 Peter 4:12–19 be not surprised by fiery trials as though something strange
|
What we envision vs what the reality is – illustrated by James and John Christ's daily call to suffering Christs example of laying down life We are sharing Christ's suffering by suffering Suffering will not destroy us! We should have an outlook of faith while suffering Suffering can be seen as discipline yielding fruit We will often suffer unjustly – as Christ's did Suffering for doing good is within the Lord's will Don’t be surprised by suffering
|
|
|
Resurrection of the body
|
Gospels Last chapters of all the gospels 28,16,24,20–21 1 Cor 15 Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? Rom 6:5 if we have been united with him in a death like his… we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his 1 Thess 4 We do not want you to be uninformed about those who have fallen asleep…
|
Historical Resurrection Our resurrection is based upon Christs, w/o it preaching vain & faith is futile We are united to Christ's death and resurrection At Christ's return dead will rise and those who are alive will meet the Lord in the air with them
|
|
|
Infant baptism
|
Acts 2:37 promise for you and for your children and for all who are... Rom 4:9–17 The promise is to Abraham and his offspring 1 Cor 7:14 children are made holy by the faith of a parent Col 2:11ff Circumcision the external sign of OC. Baptism the external sign of the NC. All find their meaning in Christ
|
Continuity at Pentecost – The promise is for our children Paul doesn't speak of the promise to Abraham without speaking of his heirs The faith of a parent makes the children holy Circumcision was the external sign of OC – which Christ fulfilled, and the movement of the text is that baptism is the external sign of the NC. Just as the children of the OC were circumcised – so the children of the NC are baptized.
|
|
|
Predestination
|
Acts 2:23 Jesus given up according to plan & foreknowledge John 6:44 No one comes to Jesus except the Father draw him John 10 My sheep know me Eph 4 chose us in him before foundations… 2 Tim 1:8–10 saved & called to a holy calling not because of works, but because of his purpose, grace, election in X Rom 09 mercies of wrath & mercy 1 Pet 1 elect according to the foreknowledge of God
|
Peter's sermon – Christ was delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God Nobody comes except they be drawn Those who are drawn are Jesus' sheep and they know the voice of their shepherd his own were chosen in him before the foundations of the world choice not based on our works the choice is based upon God's soverignty and purposes – vessels of mercy and wrath the choice is based upon God's soverignty and purposes – foreknowledge
|
|
|
Unity of the church (and gifts)
|
John 17:11ff high priestly prayer Christ prays for our unity… that we may be one as the son & father are one Rom 12:3–8 one body many members 1 Cor 12–14 one body many members & gifts Gal 3:26ff no longer jew, greek slave, free, male femaile… all are one in Christ Eph 4:1–13 unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace – one body, one Spirit, one baptism, one God and Father… Phil 2:2 being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind 1 Peter 3:8 unity of mind
|
Christ prayed for it (2x) Paul taught about one body many members All nationalities, gender, class one in Christ Exhortation to Ephesians Exhortation to Philippians (textus classicus) Peter's exhortation to the elect dispersion
|
|
|
Christian Sabbath
|
Christian Sabbath: Matt 5:17–18 – I have not come to abolish them [law & prophets] but to fulfill them. Matt 12:8 – Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath Heb. 4:4 – and God rested on the seventh day from all his works Rev. 1:10 – I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard…
|
Continuity with the OT Christ is the Lord of the Sabbath Sabbath a creation mandate NT saints observed the Lord's day
|
|
|
Ordering of Christian worship:
|
Matt 15:9 worship in vain teaching as doctrine the commandment of men Acts 2 devoted themselves to apostles teaching, fellowship, breaking bread, prayer 1 Cor 14 Paul's teaching on orderly worship Eph 5 & Col 3 filled with Spirit addressing one another in all wisdom, singing, psalms, hymns, spiritual songs 2 Tim 4 preach, reprove, rebuke, exhort with complete patience and teaching
|
Vanity of teaching men's commands as doctrine Practices of the early church Paul's commands about orderly worship Spirit filled and various activities Paul's exhortation to Timothy
|
|
|
Christian liberty
|
Acts 10–11, 15 Sheet with clean & unclean, Report to Jerusalem Council Col 2:6–23 let no one pass judgment on you regarding food, drink, regarding festivals, new moon, Sabbath Rom 6:1–14 baptized into Christ, don't present your members of unrighteousness Rom 14,15 not using it to cause people to stumble, Christ didn't please himself 1 Cor 10 all things lawful, not all things helpful – do all to glory of God
|
Freedom from ceremonial distinctions began with Peter's vision Paul instructs Colossians not let people judge them based upon shadows We are not given freedom for unrighteousness Don't lead people astray – follow Chris'ts example Use your freedom with wisdom – do all to glorify God
|
|
|
Significance of the death of Christ
|
Rom 6:23 Wages of sin is death, gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord John 1:9 Behold the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world Heb 9:26–28 offered himself once to bear the sins of many 1 Pet 3 Christ suffered once for sins, righteous for the unrighteous… to bring us to God Col 1:21–23 reconciled you by the body of flesh by his death, present you holy and blameless above reproach
|
Christ's death paid our wages John the Baptists proclamation about Jesus Functions a High Priest and Sacrifice (2x) alien righteousness, reconciliation
