Today we are looking at the story of the resurrection. It’s not Easter Sunday, when we would normally look at this text, however it is appropriate every Sunday. In John chapter 20 we have the events of the first two Sundays and how four specific disciples interacted with Jesus.

As we continue studying John’s gospel, once again we see God’s hand in every detail of the events as they unfold… all for His glory and to call attention to Jesus the Savior.

Last week as we were looking at this passage, we focused on how Jesus was in Control of every aspect of the situation. He was in control of His person, the means of His death, the location, the declaration, and how all of this was evidenced by prophecy. We continue to see the prophetic aspects of what He is accomplishing, but as we look agin at the passage we see His compassion and the completion of His mission of love.

We are going to be looking at this passage in two parts. There are three things I want to look at specifically as we see Jesus in His last moments of earthly ministry.

‌

Today we are going to examine His Control . Next week we will look at His Compassion, and the Completion of His ministry.

‌

What I want to demonstrate first is that Jesus is in control. He is in control of His person, but then also we will see that He is in control of all of the circumstances (means of His death; location; the declaration; and all evidenced by the fulfillment of prophecy.

Rob McCrorie teaches from Matthew 5:1-16 -A believers identity in God is crucial to producing kingdom character and kingdom influence.

Veteran missionary, Pastor Dan Bushy, teaches about the story of the tribe of Dan. 

As the story of Jesus' arrest and trial unfold, Peter's trial gives a great lesson.

Today’s lesson in John 17 concludes Jesus’ teaching to the disciples directly and now we learn from His prayer… these, His last words before His arrest.

‌

Jesus continues with this, His final word to the Disciples before He goes to the cross.
