RESURRECTION DAY! John chapter 20

PAUSE FOR THOUGHT

The linen clothes were left as if Jesus had passed right through them, just as later He passed through an unopened door 20:5,19,26

Like the disciples we cannot meet Jesus until we discover Jesus is alive 20:8,16-18

Jesus breathed upon His disciples the breath of life 20:22, God’ first breath upon Adam made him different from every other form of created life Genesis 2:7 Now through the breath of Jesus is imparted eternal, spiritual life. Pentecost followed 50 days later when on the birthday of the Church they would all be baptised with the Holy Spirit and fire! Acts 2: 1-4

VERSE TO REMEMBER
But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that believing in Him you will have life. John 20:31 N.L.T.

Jesus the King on a Cross John 19

PAUSE FOR THOUGHT

Throughout His trial we see that Jesus was in control, not Pilate or the Jewish leaders. Jesus knew the truth, He knew the plan and purposes of God, He said “no one takes my life from me, but I lay it down Of my own accord John 10:18

Jesus King of the Jews was written in Hebrew, Latin and Greek. Pilate meant this sign to be ironic, but Jesus is the King not only of the Jews but of the Gentiles also 19:20

Many prophesies were fulfilled on that day, to grasp the full picture read the other accounts in the synoptic Gospels along side of Johns. Each writer records meaningful details, but each brings out the same message, Jesus died on the Cross, so that by believing in Him we shall not perish but have everlasting life John 3:16

MEMORY VERSE

He paid for you with the precious life blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God. 1 Peter 1:19 N.L.T.

Jesus said my Kingdom is not of this World John 18:28-40

PAUSE FOR THOUGHT

Jesus only spoke the truth, He is the only one who has ever lived who was qualified to do so because as God He is all knowing John 14:6

Pilate failed to recognise the truth because like Many today he thought that truth was relative, but it is far worse to recognise the truth but fail to heed it 18:38

If there is anything that you find difficult to believe just bring it to God in prayer, Lord I believe help my unbelief Mark 9:24

MEMORY VERSE
All that love the truth recognise that what I say is true John 18: 37b NLT

Jesus is betrayed and arrested John 18:1-27

PAUSE FOR THOUGHT

This band of frightened disciples would undergo severe testing before they were transformed from hesitant followers to dynamic leaders. 18:8

Sometimes like Peter we take matters into our own hands instead of believing that God is in charge. If Peter had had his own way Jesus would not of gone to the cross. And we would still be held by our sins 18:11

The servant girl probably recognised Peters Galilean accent but Peter denied knowing Jesus, Are you easily recognisable as a Christian or are you a silent witness? 18:17

MEMORY VERSE

But Jesus said to Peter “Put your sword back into its sheath. Shall I not drink from the cup my Father has given me?” John 18:11

Jesus prays for His disciples John 17:1-26

PAUSE FOR THOUGHT

Gods glory is the revelation of His character and presence. The lives of Christians are to show Christ’s character, and He is present to the world through them. 17:10

A Christian who doesn’t share the worlds values should not be surprised the world treats them the way it does? 17:14

What does being salt and light to the world mean in practice? 17:18

MEMORY VERSE

I am not asking you to take them out of the world, but to keep them safe from the evil one John 17: 15

The work of the Holy Spirit John 16:1-16

PAUSE FOR THOUGHT

The sin that keeps people out of heaven is rejecting Jesus and His sacrifice 16:9
