John 16 Ap Speech

596 Words3 Pages

Good Morning VPC! Hope everyone is doing well. Please read with me the gospel of John 16 for our daily devotion.

The prosperity gospel (A.K.A the gospel of health and wealth) is a movement that seems to be sweeping across the globe today. This movement teaches us that when we place our trust and faith in Christ, we are given an abundance of health and wealth. There is nothing more foreign to scripture than this type of teaching. In fact, the opposite is true, and Jesus makes it abundantly clear from today’s passage.

In the opening verses, we see Jesus warning His disciples about the forthcoming persecution they will eventually face (vv.1-4a). As Jesus prepares for His own persecution, He warns us that it will be the very same people who

Because we are saved does not mean we will not face persecutions, adversity, hardships, or offenses.

  • Greek Word Arete

    2026 Words  | 9 Pages

    Here, Jesus is emphasizing the exact opposite of most of the original views of arete that stem from excellence and being accepted by others (H.D.F Kitto, The Greeks, 1952). He is saying that it is positive to be put down by others and that because of this, one knows that he is gaining true arete and focusing on himself and his own soul. Not only does Jesus say that is is good that people look down on one who is gaining true arete, but he encourages said person to rejoice in the persecution put upon them, “because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you” (The Sermon on the Mount). Socrates, in his idea of arete, decided that it was not good for others to look down on a person for their way of thinking, which contrasts Jesus’ teachings. Although, Socrates did agree with Jesus that one should not let the opinions of others affect them.

This gospel is known as, ‘the Gospel of the kingdom.’ Jesus himself said to the disciples, “And as you go preach saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matthew10:7). Luke puts it thus, “And heal the sick there and say to them, ’the kingdom of God has come near to you” (Luke 10:9). The doctrine of ‘divine health’ is to be witnessed when the kingdom comes.
