of God, therefore seen as uniquely as a sacrament himself. This was noted in John’s gospel when Jesus said to his disciples “Who has seen me, has seen the Father” (John 14:9, NRSV).

related to a good shepherd. A good shepherd is one whom is recognizable by his flock, one who his sheep only listen to and one who will sacrifice his life for his herd. A good shepherd will do anything to have happy sheep and in chapter ten of the gospel of John, Jesus is the good shepherd for those who believe in him; he is their savior and guide.

the use of apo and ek together in (John 1:44) could mean the “place of original.” It could be true because as we observed from ‘the setting of this paragraph is significant; although technically in Galilee already Jesus “went out” into Galilee(v.43) to find an emphatically Galilean disciple (v.44).

By Christology standards and ideals, Jesus is more of an idea, a way of life than an actual human being. To explain further, all I simply mean is that the reason Christianity is followed is not because of the mythology behind it. It is because of the message it spreads, the positivity it spreads around the globe. It’s a way of life, therefore many people can interpret this way of life through their own perspective.

separate. James the son of Zebedee: In the Gospel account of Mark, James is been described nine times (even though never by himself; it is always ‘Peter and James and John’ or imply that Matthew believed that Zebedee was married to Salome.

However, the son of Zebedee occurs in a list of disciples, and the two are gathering (v.21).” And John and his brother appear to be…

The God of Mercy and the Parable of the Prodigal Son Luke 15, 11-32 The Gospel of Luke introduces one of the most praised and extraordinary parables in the New Testament: The Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15: 11-32). Of all the parables that Jesus narrated, the Prodigal Son is among the most heartbreaking and remembered teachings of Christ. This story only appears once in the Bible - it is only found in the Gospel of Luke. The parable, like many others of Jesus, is fundamentally rooted in…

praying for his mother. And even though sister Johnson has moved on that celestial place we call heaven; please know that God is still able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.

The context of John 15 sets the tone and the foundation for Jesus’ dialogue with his disciples. John 15:1-17 is a part of John’s gospel and considered one of the four gospels; in which, the others are called the Synoptic Gospels and include Matthew, Mark and Luke. All four of these gospels are a part of the New Testament.
