Exploring the Bible! Sunday evenings a major week by week exploration of the books of the Bible Tonight:John Every Sunday evening at ‘Bible Explorer’ ‘what does this book mean for us today?’

The purpose of the Gospel of John – John 20:31 “But these are written so that you may continue to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing in him you will have life by the power of his name.” The purpose of the book is simply twofold, firstly that we will believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God and secondly that we will have life by the power of his name.

4 Key thoughts for what John might mean for us: God’s infinite majesty. God’s infinite majesty. How different He is from us. How different He is from us. His desire to communicate with us. His desire to communicate with us. His charge to us to be both ‘sowers’ of the word and ‘harvesters’ to eternal life. His charge to us to be both ‘sowers’ of the word and ‘harvesters’ to eternal life.

God’s infinite Majesty: How can Christ be the key to the universe? How can Christ be the key to the universe? What does it mean for Christ to unlock the mysteries of the universe? What does it mean for Christ to unlock the mysteries of the universe? The greatest mystery is the mystery of God himself. How can finite and sinful human beings speak of God? The greatest mystery is the mystery of God himself. How can finite and sinful human beings speak of God?

God’s infinite Majesty:

Words communicate. They take what is in my heart and mind and communicate it into yours. If Jesus Christ is the Word of God, He is God communicating God’s own self in order to unlock the mystery of who he is Jesus is the great translator and the great translation of the living God His desire to communicate Words communicate. They take what is in my heart and mind and communicate it into yours. If Jesus Christ is the Word of God, He is God communicating God’s own self in order to unlock the mystery of who he is. Jesus is the great translator and the great translation of the living God

How different He is from us  When we get stroppy or grumpy, - He doesn’t. When we get angry, even hateful, - He doesn’t.  When we don’t forgive, - He does.  When we don’t forgive ourselves, - He does.

How different He is from us  When we think ourselves insignificant and useless, - He doesn’t.  He never ever tells you that you’re useless; He always speaks of your worth.  This mysterious, awesome, magnificent Holy God whispers He loves you.

We are called to be sowers & harvesters Wake up and look around. The fields are already ripe for harvest!  Through this gospel of John, Jesus is calling us, speaking to us that we are to become sowers and harvesters  St Francis said preach the gospel everywhere - use words if you have to! You might be the only Bible someone else gets to read

The purpose of the Gospel of John – John 20:31 However you are being called to this mission the fruit you harvest is people brought to eternal life. There’s no greater calling than that. Because St John wrote what he did so that we would continue to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing in him we and those yet to come to faith will have life by the power of his name.

Questions to ponder over  What does it mean for Christ to unlock the mysteries of the universe?  How can finite and sinful human beings speak of Go d?  What do we use words for?

Questions to ponder over  What are we going to do with this life of faith with all its infinite possibilities?  Can we be ‘evangelists’, sowers and reapers?  Is there something more that we need before we begin?  What priority here at St Paul’s are we to give to the ‘great commission?
