John Ch18-19 Bible Study Notes


Background:

Passover

• Most important holiday of the Jews. Historical context: Exodus. Similar to Chinese New Year: to commemorate the people being delivered from bondage.

• Central to the Passover is the Passover lamb that each Israeli family would eat during Passover.
In the Exodus, the blood of the Passover lamb marked the house of Jewish people to prevent them from experiencing judgment that God was executing on Egypt. The Passover lamb was to point to Jesus, who would die so that his people would not experience judgment and spiritual death for their sins.

Perspectives Notes - L11: Building bridges of love

Lesson 11: Building bridges of love – Paul Biswas (“Faith” in Bengali) (4/7/14)
Notes by Lana


Contextualizing the Messenger
·     Incarnational lifestyle evangelism
·     The message is important the messenger is more important to communicate the message
·     Missionaries can only make their message effective if they are recognized as credible messengers
·     The gospel is more than a message
·     It is an introduction to life under Christ’s lordship
·     As missionaries or cross cultural servant we need to contextualize ourselves (1 Corinthians 9:20-23 - To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law. To those outside the law I became as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings)
·     Gospel = introduction to life under Christ’s lordship
·     There are 5 gospels – Matthew, Mark, Luke, John & your life!
