John 5: 39 Summary

1093 Words5 Pages

John 5:39 – “You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me.” Elsewhere, Jesus said to His disciples that, "These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled." (Luke 24:45). The Bible is a story about the creation, fall and salvation of man. Jesus is in the background of every moral biblical story and character. The story of salvation narrates the sovereign work of God in history. Virtually every story, poem and proverb in the Bible contribute to the ongoing plot conflict between good and evil. The biblical characters, as portrayed in the scriptures, …show more content…

Welcome to 2016.” Happy New Year.

************** **********************************

New Year for refreshing. I am refreshed wherever my source is El Shaddai. We plan but we must let God direct our steps. At times, the directives of God are seen by the world as weird. Never be swayed; if it is from God, go for it! Keep away from small people who try to belittle your ambitions. Swim against the tides, and sail to a higher ground. Put your convictions into actions with less worry of the outcome. Find strength in positive vibes. Remember that big dreams are reserved for big dreamers. Discouragement has no place in ambitious people. Ambition is neither a gift nor a privilege for few lucky ones. It is for those who choose to find a purpose and a reason big enough to go after! 2016 is your year of favor.

  • Langston Hughes Salvation

    831 Words  | 4 Pages

    Writing about controversial subjects can often be difficult; however Hughes executed his story, Salvation, in an intriguing manner that is suitable to all audiences and religions. In this story, the writer retells an experience from his childhood describing his journey to Jesus Christ. Discussing the complications, the main character, Hughes, faced while trying to come to Jesus is what makes the story interesting to read. On many occasions, you will read a story or watch a movie that shows the main character coming to Jesus and having an immediate and obvious realization of their Savior. For this reason, I found this story to be unique and relatable in the way that it shows a journey that countless Christians face, but you are not often granted the opportunity to read about this type of experience.

    Matthew Chapter Five speaks about Jesus’ teachings from the Sermon on the Mount. The Sermon on the Mount basically talks about what our life would be like if we lived in our faith, thoughts, or even words and actions. Six times throughout chapter five Jesus said, “You have heard it said”, or “But I tell you..” When he did this he was calling people to a new life instead of one following the legal system, that the Pharisees had imposed. There were four main purposes for the Sermon on the Mount; to expose our sin, to point us to Jesus Christ, demonstrate a way to happiness and show us how to live a life that is pleasing to the Lord.

  • Symbolism In The Gospel Of John

    1377 Words  | 6 Pages

    The Gospel of John contains some of the most profound truth which is expressed in the simplest way. It is full of imagery and symbolism which though concise and limited bears deep spiritual meaning. In his book, The Interpretation of the fourth Gospel, C. H. Dodd must have been the first to identify the leading ideas and thus separate in form and function the allegories of the Gospel of John from the synoptic parables and connect them with the Old Testament and the Hellenistic-Jewish symbolic tradition. That is to say the author of this Gospel mostly uses common things present in the life and tradition of his listeners and uses them to make the divine understandable. Koester in his book on Symbolism in the Fourth Gospel says that:
