|

Purpose: Eternal life through faith in the Son of God- to prove conclusively that Jesus is the Son of God and that all who believe in him will have eternal life.

• Name, Locate And Briefly Discuss Three Of Jesus' Parables
|
Parable of the sower- Matthew 13:3-9
The different types of soil represent different types of people. The parable is primarily about the Kingdom (coming into the world in hidden form, small and seemingly insignificant, like a seed) and how it comes into the world and how people respond to it. Parable of the Prodigal Son- Luke 15:11-31 A father with two sons has one ask for his inheritance and squanders it in foreign land. Sorry for what he has done, the son seeks to return to his father who is waiting for him and throws a party to celebrate his return. The older brother is bitter and will not join the party showing the potential for our own bitterness at God’s grace to sinners. Told in response to Pharisees response to sinners coming to Christ. Parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector- Luke 18:9-14 Jesus uses the example of a tax collector and a Pharisee’s prayer in the temple to rebuke those who are confident in their own righteousness and show them that one is justified by faith in the sacrifice on the Mercy seat. |

• Name, Locate And Briefly Discuss Three Of Jesus' Miracles.
|
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. Feeding of the 5000- Matthew 14:13-21 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. 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. |

. Locate And Discuss At Least Two Passages Which Deal With Law And Grace.
|
• Romans 3:21-24 (ESV) But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— 22the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: 23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
• Romans 8:1-2 (ESV) There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. • Galatians 3:10-11 (ESV) For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, "Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them." 11Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for "The righteous shall live by faith." • Galatians 5:4-5 (ESV) You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace. 5For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness. |
