Gospel of John – April 29 2018

John 13:1- 19

Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come in order that He should depart out from this world towards the Father, having loved His own, the ones in the world, loved them until the end. 13.2 And supper having come, already casting from the devil into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, in order that he should betray Him. 13.3 Jesus intuitively knowing that the Father had given all things into the hands and that from God He came and facing God He goes, 13.4 raising up out from the dinner and taking the garment and having received the cloth wrapped it around Himself. 13.5 Then He cast water into the basin and began to wash the feet of the disciples and wipe with the cloth, which was wrapped around. 13.6 Therefore coming towards Simon Peter and that one saying to Him, “Lord, are you washing my feet?” 13.7 Jesus answered and said to Him, “That which I do, you do not intuitively know yet. But you will experientially know after these things.” 13.8 Peter said to Him, “Never should you wash my feet into the age.” Jesus answered to him, “Except I should wash you, you have not part with Me.” 13.9 Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also the hands and the head.” 13.10 Jesus said to him, “The one having washed does not need to have except to wash his feet, but he is entirely clean, and you are clean, but not all.” 13.11 For He intuitively know the one betraying Him. Because of this He said, “You are not all clean.” 13.12 Therefore when He […]

John 12:25-50 – Light of the World

The one fond of his life will lose it. And the one indifferent to his life in this world into eternal life will guard it. 12.26 If perhaps someone should serve Me, to Me he must follow. And where I am, there also My servant will be. And if someone serves Me, the Father will honor him. 12.27 Now My soul is in a state of trouble and what will I say? Father, save Me out from this hour, but because of this I came unto this hour. 12.28 Father, glorify Your name.” Therefore, a voice came out form heaven, And I have glorified and again will glorify.  12.29 Therefore the crowd, the one standing and having heard, said, “it was thunder.” Others said, “An angel spoke to Him.” 12.30 Jesus answered and said, “This voice did not come because of Me, but because of you.” 12.31 Now judgment is concerning this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out. 12.32 And I, if perhaps, I should be lifted out from the earth I will draw all men unto Myself.” 12.33 And this He said, signifying to what sort of death He was about to die. 12.34 The crowd answered Him, “We have heard out from the Law that the Christ remains into the age and how are you saying it is necessary the Son of Man to be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?” 12.35 Therefore Jesus said to them, “Yet a little time the light is with you. Walk while you have the light in order that darkness does not overtake you and the one walking in the darkness does not intuitively […]

The Law of The Christ

Caring for Members of the Body

Pastor Luther Walker

In the book of Galatians[1] Paul states that the bearing of another person’s weight[2] is filling up again the law of the Christ; yet, in Romans he writes that a Christian is not under any quality of law[3]. How do we reconcile passages of Scripture that seem to contradict each other? What does Scripture mean when it states a Christian is not under any quality of law, yet then indicates there is a law of the Christ and a law of the Spirit? Is a Christian under law or not? Ultimately this leads to the underlying question, “As a Christian, what are the guidelines for my life?” To better understand the rules of our household[4], that is to say God’s expectation for how the saved are to live their life today, we can examine how the word “law” is used in Scripture along with its normal meaning and use in everyday life so we know the difference between being under the Mosaic Law or any quality of law and filing up again the Law of the Christ by loving another saint while fulfilling the law the Spirit of life by our walk.

Since we are in the Dispensation of Grace, not the Dispensation of Law, the standard for our household is different. Scripture is very clear on the fact that a Christian is not under the Mosaic Law or any quality of law[5]; however, there is still a standard by which those who are a […]
