RED LETTER BIBLE CAME ABOUT -LOUIS KLOPSCH
KELLY SULLENGER SHARED SHE WORKS WITH STUDENTS WITH COMPLEX INDIVIDUAL NEEDS:
RED LETTERS ARE THE EASIEST INDIVIDUALS TO SEE
EDUCATORS USE RED LETTERS FOR FLASH CARDS
- SOME HAVE CEREBRAL VISUAL IMPAIRMENT
EYES SEE FINE- BRAIN CAN’T PROCESS
BUT USING RED- THEY CAN SEE- MAYBE GOD DESIGNED THEIR EYES THIS WAY ON PURPOSE
- FACE TIME WITH JESUS- MEANS WHAT?
MATTHEW MARK LUKE JOHN VERBS
- 3 ALL SAME WORDS
- 2 WORDS ARE DIFFERENT
- KNOW- SENT
GINOSKO– INTIMATE KNOWLEDGE (RELATIONAL)
SENT– MAT/MARK/LUKE- INVITATION- JOHN 40 TIMES
HIGHLIGHTS JESUS SENT- YOU ALSO ARE SENT
JESUS USES WORD FATHER MOST IN JOHNS GOSPEL
107 MORE TIMES– EVERY 5TH WORD (20 %) JESUS TALKING ABOUT HIS FATHER
JOHN- POSSIBLY RELATED TO JESUS
SAYS HE IS JESUS BEST FRIEND
LAST OF THE 12-
- SPENDS MORE TIME ON PEOPLE VS THE EVENTS
THE PURPOSE OF JOHNS GOSPEL IS DIFFERENT THAN THE OTHER WRITERS
MATHEW MARK AND LUKE SEEK TO ANSWER WHAT JESUS DID,
JOHN IS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT WHO JESUS IS-
HE TELLS STORIES- BUT THEY ARE POINTED SO THAT IT EXPLAINS WHO JESUS IS
- JOHN TELLS STORIES WHICH SEEM TO CONTRAST WHAT PEOPLE THOUGHT ABOUT JESUS
- WE ARE ATTEMTPING TO ANSWER THE QUESTION:
WHO IS JESUS
WHO IS JESUS TO YOU? LONG TIME CHURCH PERSON
SCRIPTURE JOHN 5:1
- SOME TIME LATER, JESUS WENT UP TO JERUSALEM FOR ONE OF THE JEWISH FESTIVALS. (WHICH ONE)
- AFTERWARDS-WHAT JUST HAPPENED?
- JESUS JUST INTENTIONALLY SAMARIA WOMAN
- JESUS JUST HEALED MANS SON- HIGH OFFICIAL
- JESUS BACK HERE INTENTIONALLY
SCRIPTURE JOHN 5:2
- NOW THERE IS IN JERUSALEM NEAR THE SHEEP GATE A POOL, WHICH IN ARAMAIC IS CALLED BETHESDA (HOUSE OF MERCY) AND WHICH IS SURROUNDED BY FIVE COVERED COLONANADES.
HOW MANY BETHESDA HOSPITALS ARE THERE?
THERE ARE HOUSES OF MERCY PACKED PEOPLE
SCRIPTURE JOHN 5:3-4
- HERE A GREAT NUMBER OF DISABLED PEOPLE USED TO LIE- THE BLIND, THE LAME, THE PARALYZED. ONE WHO WAS THERE HAD BEEN AN INVALID FOR THIRTY EIGHT YEARS.
- 38 YEARS AGO WAS 1988- SO WHAT
GAS- .96 CENTS A GALLON
NUMBER 1 CAR– FORD ESCORT (7,000-10,000)
HOUSE- AVERAGE HOME SALE COST WAS 135,000
TOP MOVIES– RAIN MAN/ COMING TO AMERICA (4.11$ )
THE POOLS
- UPPER POOL- FLOWED TO LOWER POOL
- LOTS OF PEOPLE (FESTIVALS BROUGHT PEOPLE)
- LOTS OF IN VALID PEOPLE
THE BOOK OF JOHN WAS THOUGHT INVALID– THIS STORY
- LATE 1800S ARCHEOLOGIST KONRAD SHICK
- THEN IN 1950 FOUND EVEN GREATER EVIDENCE
THE ACTUAL SITE
38 YEARS- I WAS DATING RUTH- DIAGNOSED MENIERRES
25 YEARS OFF AND ON TINITUS- SEVERE RINGING
THIS MAN IS DESPERATE
SCRIPTURE JOHN 5:6
6. WHEN JESUS SAW HIM LYING THERE AND LEARNED THAT HE HAD BEEN IN THIS CONDITION FOR. LONG TIME, HE ASKED HIM, “DO YOU WANT TO GET WELL?”
- THIS IS NOT SARCASM
WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN BATTLING FOR A LONG TIME?
SEEMS LIKE A QUESTION WE DON’T UNDERSTAND
ARE THERE PEOPLE DON’T ACTUALLY WANT BE WELL?
YOUR MARRAGE- YOUR ADDICTION- YOUR PORN USE- YOUR… DO YOU WANT TO GET WELL?
SCRIPTURE JOHN 5:7
7. SIR,” THE INVALID REPLIED, “I HAVE NO ONE TO HELP ME INTO THE POOL WHEN THE WATER IS STIRRED. WHILE I AM TRYING TO GET IN, SOMEONE ELSE GOES DOWN AHEAD OF ME.”
- LEGEND ANGEL CAME- STIRRED WATER- TRUE?
- IN- VALID -DISABLED/WEAK/EXPIRED
MAN FOCUSED ON THE WATER- INSTEAD OF JESUS
CONTRAST JESUS HEALING HIGH RANKING WITH THIS
SCRIPTURE JOHN 5:8-9
8. THEN JESUS SAID TO HIM, “GET UP! PICK UP YOUR MAT AND WALK.” AT ONCE THE MAN WAS CURED; HE PICKED UP HIS MAT AND WALKED. THE DAY ON WHICH THIS TOOK PLACE WAS A SABBATH,
- ARISE- A RESURECTION TERM- PT/ATROPHY
- GREAT STORY- ENDS HERE- CREDITS ROLL
SUPERHERO MIRACLE PLAYED BY JESUS CHRIST
SCRIPTURE JOHN 5:10
10. AND SO THE JEWISH LEADERS SAID TO THE MAN WHO HAD BEEN HEALED, “IT IS THE SABBATH; THE LAW FORBIDS YOU TO CARRY YOUR MAT.”
- THUS THE PROBLEM ENSUES
- THIS AND HE CLAIMS GOD IS HIS FATHER
107 TIMES TALKS ABOUT HIS FATHER
16 So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began to persecute him. 17 In his defense Jesus said to them, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working.” 18 For this reason they tried all the more to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
- LAST TIME HE TOOK AUTHORITY OVER TEMPLE
- NOW HES TAKING AUTHORITY OVER SABBATH
SCRIPTURE JOHN 5:11
11. BUT HE REPLIED, “THE MAN WHO MADE ME WELL SAID TO ME, “PICK UP YOUR MAT AND WALK.”
SCRIPTURE JOHN 5:12
12. SO THEY ASKED HIM, “WHO IS THIS FELLOW WHO TOLD YOU TO PICK IT UP AND WALK?”
SCRIPTURE JOHN 5:13
13. THE MAN WHO WAS HEALED HAD NO IDEA WHO IT WAS, FOR JESUS HAD SLIPPED AWAY INTO THE CROWD THAT WAS THERE.
THIS MAN REALLY HAD NO IDEA WHO JESUS WAS
JESUS KNEW (GINOSKO) WHO HE WAS
SCRIPTURE JOHN 5:14
14. LATER JESUS FOUND HIM AT THE TEMPLE AND SAID TO HIM, “SEE YOU ARE WELL AGAIN (NOW). SLOW DOWN YOUR SINNING/ PAUSE YOUR SINNING/LESSEN YOUR SINNING) STOP SINNING OR SOMETHING WORSE MAY HAPPEN TO YOU.”
- POWER PACKED WORDS- TIED TO PREVIOUS SIN?
- WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE WORSE
38 YEARS
THE CHOSEN
FOR SOME STRANGE REASON- JESUS INVITES HUMANS TO PARTICIPATE IN MANY OF HIS MIRACLES
- WOMEN WHO TOUCHED HEM OF HIS GARMENT
- POURING WATER INTO JARS FOR WINE
- 5 LOAVES AND 2 FISH
SCRIPTURE JOHN 20:30
30. JESUS PERFORMED MANY OTHER SIGNS (NOT JUST A MIRACLE OR MAGIC TRICK- POINTS TO WHO GOD WAS AND IS) IN THE PRESENCE OF HIS DISCIPLES, WHICH ARE NOT RECORDED IN THIS BOOK.
SCRIPTURE JOHN 20:31
31. BUT THESE ARE WRITTEN THAT YOU MAY BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS THE MESSIAH, THE SON OF GOD, AND THAT BY BELIEVING YOU MAY HAVE LIFE IN HIS NAME.
- 3 WORDS GRIPPED ME ADDITION WHAT JESUS SAID
JESUS FOUND HIM
- VERSE 6- SAW HIM/ KNEW HIM-KNEW HIS NEED
- HEURISKO– HE SEARCHED FOR HIM
- WE CALL THIS PREVENIENT GRACE
- OTHER RELIGIONS GOD SAVES THE WORTHY
- STORY SERVES STRONG REMINDER- JESUS EXTENDS MERCY/GRACE
- PAUL SAYS- JESUS SAVES THE UNGODLY
WHAT A RESPONSIBILITY THE MAN NOW HAS
DO YOU WANT TO
