1. STUDY IT FOR YOURSELF! Have the attitude of the Bereans…
… take what you are taught and search the Scriptures each day to see if what was taught is what the Word of God says [Acts 17:11]!
Have the attitude of the Bereans…

2. The Spirit of Knowledge and Fear of the LORD
Part 04
Jesus Knew WHERE He was GOING
and Offers LIFE to All!

3. Jesus KNEW
WHERE He Was
GOING…

4. John 13:1-3 He loved them to the end.
[1] Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus KNOWING that His hour had come that He SHOULD DEPART out of this world TO THE FATHER,
having loved His own who were in the world,
He loved them to the end.

5. John 13:1-3 and WAS GOING BACK TO GOD,
[3] Jesus, KNOWING that the Father had given all things into His hands,
and that HE HAD COME FORTH FROM GOD,
and WAS GOING BACK TO GOD,

6. Luke 24:50-53
[50] An He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them. [51] And it came about that while He was blessing them, HE PARTED FROM them.

7. Jesus OFFERS
LIFE to ALL!

8. John 20:30-31
[30] Many other signs therefore Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book;

9. John 20:30-31 the SON of God; that Jesus is the CHRIST,
[31] but these have been written that you MAY BELIEVE
that Jesus is the CHRIST,
the SON of God;
and that BELIEVING you may HAVE LIFE in His name.

10. Luke 20:34-39 – The God of the LIVING
[34] And Jesus said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage, [35] but those who are considered WORTHY to attain to that age and the RESURRECTION from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage;

11. and ARE SONS of God, BEING SONS of the RESURRECTION.
[36] “for NEITHER can they DIE anymore, for they are like angels, and ARE SONS of God, BEING SONS of the RESURRECTION. [37] “But that the dead are RAISED, even Moses showed, in the passage about the burning bush, where he calls the Lord THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, AND THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB.
and ARE SONS of God, BEING SONS of the RESURRECTION.
BEING SONS of the RESURRECTION.

12. but of THE LIVING; for ALL LIVE TO HIM.”
[38] “Now He IS NOT the God of the DEAD,
but of THE LIVING;
for ALL LIVE TO HIM.”
[39] And some of the scribes answered and said, “Teacher, You have spoken well.”

13. 1 Corinthians 15:42-44 It is SOWN (a) PERISHABLE [corruptible] (body),
[42] So also is the RESURRECTION of the dead.
It is SOWN (a) PERISHABLE [corruptible] (body),
it is RAISED (an) IMPERISHABLE [incorruptible] (body);

14. it is RAISED in GLORY; it is SOWN in WEAKNESS, it is RAISED in POWER;
[43] it is SOWN in DISHONOR,
it is RAISED in GLORY;
it is SOWN in WEAKNESS,
it is RAISED in POWER;

15. it is RAISED a SPIRITUAL BODY. If there is a NATURAL [soulish] BODY
[44] it is SOWN a NATURAL [soulish] BODY,
it is RAISED a SPIRITUAL BODY.
If there is a NATURAL [soulish] BODY
there is also a SPIRITUAL BODY.

16. 1 Corinthians 15:45 – A Life-Giving Spirit!
So also it is written, “The first MAN, Adam, BECAME A LIVING SOUL.” The last Adam BECAME a LIFE-GIVING SPIRIT.

17. Discipleship Lesson #1 from 1 Corinthians 15:42-45
Now YOU EXIST in a NATURAL BODY as a LIVING SOUL! If YOU are in Christ Jesus, You WILL be CHANGED to a SPIRITUAL BODY for LIFE ETERNAL!

18. 1 Corinthians 15:50-58
[50] Now I say this, brethren, that
FLESH and BLOOD CANNOT INHERIT the kingdom of God;
NOR does the PERISHABLE INHERIT the IMPERISHABLE.
[51] Behold, I tell you a mystery;
we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be CHANGED,

19. for the trumpet will sound, and THE DEAD WILL BE RAISED IMPERISHABLE,
[52] in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet;
for the trumpet will sound, and THE DEAD WILL BE RAISED IMPERISHABLE,
and WE SHALL BE CHANGED.

20. and this MORTAL MUST PUT ON IMMORTALITY.
[53] For this PERISHABLE MUST PUT ON the IMPERISHABLE,
and this MORTAL MUST PUT ON IMMORTALITY.
[54] But when this PERISHABLE will have put on the IMPERISHABLE,…

21. [54] … and this MORTAL will have put on IMMORTALITY, then will come about the saying that is written, “DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in VICTORY. [55] “O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY? O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING?”

22. [57] but thanks be to God, Who GIVES us THE VICTORY THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.

23. Discipleship Lesson #2 from 1 Corinthians 15:50-58
When CHANGED FROM PERISHABLE to IMPERISHABLE and FROM MORTAL to IMMORTALITY, THEN the LORD JESUS CHRIST WILL GIVE You the VICTORY!

24. 2 Corinthians 5:1-10
[1] For we know that if the earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, ETERNAL in the heavens. [2] For indeed in this house we groan, longing to be clothed with our DWELLING from [out of] HEAVEN;

25. because we DO NOT WANT to be UNCLOTHED, but to be clothed,
[3] inasmuch as we, having put it on, shall not be found naked.
[4] For indeed while we are in this tent, we GROAN, being BURDENED,
because we DO NOT WANT to be UNCLOTHED, but to be clothed,
in order that what is MORTAL may be SWALLOWED UP by LIFE.

26. Who GAVE to us the Spirit as a PLEDGE.
[5] Now He Who PREPARED us for THIS VERY PURPOSE is God,
Who GAVE to us the Spirit as a PLEDGE.
[6] Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at HOME in the BODY
we are ABSENT from the LORD –

27. [7] for we WALK by FAITH,
NOT by SIGHT –
[8] we are of GOOD COURAGE, I say,
and PREFER rather to be absent from the body and to be at HOME with the LORD.

28. [9] Therefore also we have as our AMBITION, whether at home or absent,
TO BE PLEASING to Him.
[10] For WE MUST ALL APPEAR before the judgment seat of Christ,…

29. ACCORDING to what they have DONE, whether GOOD or BAD.
[10] … that EACH ONE may be RECOMPENSED for their DEEDS in the BODY,
ACCORDING to what they have DONE, whether GOOD or BAD.

30. CONTROLS US, HAVING CONCLUDED this, that ONE DIED FOR ALL,
[14] For the LOVE of CHRIST CONTROLS US, [15] and HE DIED for ALL, that they WHO LIVE should NO LONGER LIVE for THEMSELVES,…
CONTROLS US, HAVING CONCLUDED this, that ONE DIED FOR ALL,
therefore ALL DIED;

31. they are a NEW CREATURE; the old things passed away;
[15] … but FOR HIM WHO DIED and ROSE AGAIN on their behalf.
[17] Therefore if anyone IS IN Christ,
they are a NEW CREATURE;
the old things passed away;
behold, NEW THINGS HAVE COME.

32. Discipleship Lesson #3 from 2 Corinthians 5:4, 5
God has FORMED You BOTH PHYSICALLY and SPIRITUALLY for the VERY PURPOSE of Your MORTALITY being SWALLOWED UP by LIFE ETERNAL!

33. Discipleship Lesson #4 from 2 Corinthians 5:7
For this reason You ARE TO…
WALK by FAITH,
NOT by SIGHT!

34. Discipleship Lesson #5 from 2 Corinthians 5:5, 7
Since God has GIVEN You His HOLY SPIRIT as a PLEDGE [earnest] of PROMISED ETERNAL LIFE [vs 5], Your AMBITION SHOULD be TO BE PLEASING to Him [vs 7]!

35. Discipleship Lesson #6 from 2 Corinthians 5:14
You DO THIS by REALIZING that ONE DIED for ALL, and therefore ALL DIED; and then CHOOSING to LET the LOVE of CHRIST CONTROL You!

36. Discipleship Lesson #7 from 2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if YOU ARE IN Christ, then YOU ARE a NEW CREATION; the old things are passed away; behold, NEW THINGS HAVE COME!

37. Acts 1:9-11 and a cloud RECEIVED Him out of their sight.
[9] And … He was LIFTED UP while they were looking on,
and a cloud RECEIVED Him out of their sight.
[10] And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was DEPARTING,…

38. [10] … behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them; [11] and they also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky?
sky? This Jesus, Who has been taken up from you into heaven, WILL COME IN THE SAME WAY as you have watched Him go into heaven.”

39. Discipleship Lesson #8 from Acts 1:9-11
Jesus, Who was TAKEN UP INTO HEAVEN,
WILL COME IN THE SAME WAY as He was SEEN going into heaven.
DO YOU BELIEVE THIS?

40. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 that you MAY NOT GRIEVE,
[13] But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are ASLEEP,
that you MAY NOT GRIEVE,
as do the rest who have NO HOPE.

41. even so God WILL BRING WITH HIM those who have FALLEN ASLEEP IN JESUS.
[14] For if we BELIEVE THAT JESUS DIED and ROSE AGAIN,
even so God WILL BRING WITH HIM those who have FALLEN ASLEEP IN JESUS.

42. shall not PRECEDE those who have FALLEN ASLEEP.
[15] For this we say to you by the word of the Lord,
that we who are ALIVE, and REMAIN until the coming of the Lord,
shall not PRECEDE those who have FALLEN ASLEEP.

43. and the DEAD IN CHRIST SHALL RISE FIRST.
[16] For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God;
and the DEAD IN CHRIST SHALL RISE FIRST.

44. to MEET the Lord in the air,
[17] Then we who are ALIVE and REMAIN SHALL BE CAUGHT UP together with them in the clouds
to MEET the Lord in the air,
and thus we SHALL ALWAYS BE with the Lord.
[18] Therefore COMFORT one another with these words.

45. Discipleship Lesson #9 from 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
Be COMFORTED!
When Jesus RETURNS, the DEAD in Christ SHALL be RAISED,
and SHALL WITH those FAITHFUL BELIEVERS who ARE ALIVE…

46. Discipleship Lesson #9 from 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
… SHALL BE CAUGHT UP together into the clouds to MEET the Lord in the air, and thus we SHALL ALWAYS BE with the Lord.
