For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.”

68. How do the Synoptic Gospels relate to John’s gospel and to each other?
|
All four gospel accounts relate with each other in that their message is the same, that Jesus is the promised messiah, savior of the world, fulfillment of the old covenant, but they are different in form and structure. The synoptics seem to take a chronological approach, where as John’s gospel seems to take a thematic or theological approach (e.g. Jesus’ signs & the ‘I am’ statements: I am the good shepherd; I am the way, the truth, the life; I am the resurrection and the life; I am the door of the sheep; I am the bread of life; I am the light of the world; I am the true vine).
|
|
|
69. What books did Luke write, and how do they relate to each other?

This is to show the people that he is the bread of life alone and that in him is our plenty. 2) John 11 – Jesus raises lazarus from the dead: Jesus intentionally waits several days after hearing the news of Lazarus’ illness, so that he could show his power of death, that the disciples might believe. 3) Mark 5 – Jesus heals the woman who was bleeding for twelve years: Jesus is on the way to heal Jairus’ daughter when a woman reaches out in faith grabbing the cloak of Jesus so that she might be healed. Jesus turns and has compassion on the woman and heals her physical sickness as well as her spiritual sickness. He calls her his daughter signifying his relationship with her.
|
|
|
71. Name three other parables of Christ, locate them and briefly discuss.
|
1) Luke 15 – Parable of the Prodigal Son: A man has two sons, one ask for his inheritance early, where he goes and wastes it in foreign land. He comes to his end and returns to his father ashamed, only to find his father waiting for his return anxiously. His father throws a party to celebrate his return. The older brother is angered. The father assures him that everything that he has, has always been his. This parable is told so that the Pharisees know that God rejoices in the lost(sinners) coming home to him. 2) Matthew 13 – Parable of the Sower: The different types of soil represent different types of people and their different responses to God’s Kingdom coming into the world. 3) Luke 18 – Parable of the tax collector: This story displays the difference between the prayers of a tax collector and Pharisee. The tax collector acknowledges his sin, whereas the Pharisee acknowledges his own righteousness. Jesus tells this parable to warn people in trusting in themselves.

|
John 20:31 “but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” The gospel of John is primarily written to help the Jewish audience know that Jesus is the messiah, the promised one, the their scriptures told them to look for. John accomplishes this in the structure/form of his gospel: the book of Jesus’ signs (Ch 1-11), and the book of Jesus’ hour (Ch 12-20). In the book of Jesus’ signs, John tells us about seven miracles, culminating in the resurrection of Lazarus. These demonstrate that the kingdom of God that Jesus is bringing (John 3:3, 5) brings new life to the world.
