Dialectical Journal Of John 5: 8

221 Words1 Page

Then Jesus said to him, "Get up! Pick up your mat and walk" John 5:8 (NIV). These words were spoken to a man who had been sick for a better part of his life which extended to his adulthood. After 38 years now Jesus was telling him to carry his bed, instead of the bed carry him. Have you ever had a problem carry your life? The key that unlocks the door in this verse is interesting and simple it is to obey what the Lord tells you. Whether it makes sense or not — you are to obey! The moment we begin to obey we enter into a new life to gain momentum and strength. We no longer view things from what once previously paralyzed us. “Listen to my instruction and be wise; do not disregard it” Proverbs 8:33 (NIV). It may make sense to you—or it may not,

    Theme 1.1: Envy. In Knowles’s coming of age book, “A Separate Peace”, there are lots of mishaps that happen and the beginning of these mishaps is when one of his main characters, Gene, starts thinking malicious things about Phineas, his friend. It started out as a small inkling of envy, suddenly later on in the book, it turned into something that resembled a fractious disaster. As the chapters progress, Gene shows the readers his way of thinking towards Phineas, by describing his “unexpected excitement” (27) when Phineas was about to receive a scolding from Mr. Patch-Wither, the substitute headmaster of Devon during the summer session. Surprisingly, when Phineas (aka Finny) further explained why he wore the school tie as a belt,

    In Matthew chapter sixteen verse twenty-four, Jesus says, “If anyone would come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.” Taking up your cross is an action that must occur minute by minute. You must choose either to sit idly and to just avoid evil or to make a conscious decision to follow and chase after Christ and His ways. Another example in Scripture is Ephesians six verses ten through thirteen. It says, “Finally, be strong in the Lord and His mighty power.

  • John's Gospel Purposes

    399 Words  | 2 Pages

    Each Gospel writer is unique in their approach to revealing Jesus’ arrival on earth and launching of his ministry. For instance, Matthew begins his Gospel with a Jewish genealogical tree; so that he can connect Jesus to Abraham pointing to him as the long awaited Jewish Messiah; whereas Luke begins with the birth of John the Baptist and does not get to the family tree until chapter three. Interestingly, Luke’s family tree starts with Jesus and goes back to Adam perhaps signifying Jesus as lord of both the Jews and Gentiles. On a completely different level, John’s Gospel begins with a proclamation of Jesus being God who came to earth opposed to God sending a messiah (essentially, God was the Messiah). Lastly, Mark skips the birth of Christ all

Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you” (New International Version, Deuteronomy 31:6).
