See previous page Jesus is the kingdom and violent men hung Him on a cross -- People seek to enter heaven on their own terms 59a Mat 11-12 From the days of John the Baptizer until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. Spirit of Elijah is coming -- John the Baptist was like Elijah Mat 17,10-12 His disciples asked him, saying, “Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?” Jesus answered them, “Elijah indeed comes first, and will restore all things; but I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they didn’t recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted to. Even so the Son of Man will also suffer by them.” Mk 9,11-13 They asked him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?” He said to them, “Elijah indeed comes first, and restores all things. How is it written about the Son of Man, that he should suffer many things and be despised? But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they have also done to him whatever they wanted to, even as it is written about him.” Lk 1-17 He will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, ‘to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,’ and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to prepare a people prepared for the Lord.” Enmity between Jew and gentile (anti-Semitism) -- Enmity between God and man (the law) Eph 2,14-16 For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in his flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace, and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility through it. Your sins are forgiven -- You are healed 59b Navigation Bar Mat 9,1-8 He entered into a boat and crossed over, and came into his own city. Behold, they brought to him a man who was paralyzed, lying on a bed. Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, cheer up! Your sins are forgiven you.” Behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man blasphemes.” Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts? For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Get up, and walk?’ But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins—” (then he said to the paralytic), “Get up, and take up your mat, and go to your house.” He arose and departed to his house. But when the multitudes saw it, they marveled and glorified God, who had given such authority to men. Mk 2-5 Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.” Lk 5,18-26 Behold, men brought a paralyzed man on a cot, and they sought to bring him in to lay before Jesus. Not finding a way to bring him in because of the multitude, they went up to the housetop and let him down through the tiles with his cot into the middle before Jesus. Seeing their faith, he said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.” The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?” But Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, answered them, “Why are you reasoning so in your hearts? Which is easier to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise and walk?’ But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” he said to the paralyzed man, “I tell you, arise, take up your cot, and go to your house.” Immediately he rose up before them, took his cot and departed to his house, glorifying God. Amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God. They were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen strange things today.” Jm 5-14,15 Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Supply the needs of the people -- Give them what I supply to you Mk 6-37 But he answered them, “You give them something to eat.” They asked him, “Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them something to eat?” Literally cut off your hand if it causes you to sin -- Commit yourself to this extent and you will stop sinning 59c Navigation Bar Mk 9,43-50 If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having your two hands to go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire, ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’ If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame, rather than having your two feet to be cast into Gehenna, into the fire that will never be quenched— ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’ If your eye causes you to stumble, throw it out. It is better for you to enter into God’s Kingdom with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire, ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’ For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt. Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.” You shall drink my cup and experience my baptism -- Your cup and baptism are not like mine Mk 10-39 They said to him, “We are able.” Jesus said to them, “You shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and you shall be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with My father just died -- Wait until my father dies Lk 9-60 But Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce God’s Kingdom.” Being sarcastic -- Being clever 59d Navigation Bar Lk 16-9 I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when you fail, they may receive you into the eternal tents. Kingdom of God is in your spirit -- Kingdom of God is standing in front of you Lk 17-21 neither will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ for behold, God’s Kingdom is within you.” Act 2,41-43 Then those who gladly received his word were baptized. There were added that day about three thousand souls. They continued steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayer. Fear came on every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. Escape through the rapture -- Escape through endurance Lk 21-36 Therefore be watchful all the time, praying that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will happen, and to stand before the Son of Man.” Zeal will consume my heart -- Zeal will consume my body 59e Navigation Bar Jn 2-17 His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will eat me up.” Jesus confounds the religious leaders -- Jesus heals their blindness Jn 9-39 Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, that those who don’t see may see; and that those who see may become blind.” The new self -- Holy Spirit dwelling in the believer / The person we are destined to become Eph 4,22-24 that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old man that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit, and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new man, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth. Natural life -- Eternal life Jn 10-10 The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly. Jesus -- His people 59f Navigation Bar Jn 7-18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. We are gods as created in His image -- Jesus is God’s Son as the creator of any so-called god Jn 10,34-36 Jesus answered them, “Isn’t it written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods?’ If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture can’t be broken), do you say of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God?’ Lazarus is in a state of hibernation -- Lazarus is dead Jn 11-11 He said these things, and after that, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep.” Glorified by the church -- Lifted up on a cross 59g Navigation Bar Jn 12-32 And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.” Not all of your body -- Not all of the body of Christ Jn 13-10 Jesus said to him, “Someone who has bathed only needs to have his feet washed, but is completely clean. You are clean, but not all of you.” What is truth? -- There is no truth! Jn 18-38 Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” When he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, “I find no basis for a charge against him. Groping for our creator -- Groping for our redeemer 59h Navigation Bar Act 17-26,27 He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons and the boundaries of their dwellings, that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. Alive in my soul -- Alive in my conscience Rom 7-9 I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died. Life of the resurrection -- Life of the anointing Rom 8-11 But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you. Knowledge of the written word -- Knowledge of the heavenly word 59i Navigation Bar 1Cor 2-16 “For who has known the mind of the Lord that he should instruct him?” But we have Christ’s mind.
