Loving the Scriptures

What did Jesus mean when He said that people must eat His flesh and drink His blood? If Jesus is not to be taken literally here, then what exactly is He calling people to do? In this episode we examine these words in light of everything else He has said in John 6, as well as explain why He can't be referncing the Lord's Supper or transubstantiation.

When Jesus identified Himself as the bread that came down from heaven, people took offense to Him, seeing Him as no more than an ordinary person. What does Jesus say in response to their grmubling? And how do His words indicate that He continues to declare Himself as God? We explore this and more as we continue our study of John 6.

In this episode, we continue our discussion of Jesus as the bread of life, and specifically zero in on both the satisfaction and security that is found in the Christ, the true bread from heaven.

The crowd that Jesus fed in John 6 seemed to receive Him enthusiastically, and even showed indications that they wanted to follow Him. But as we are about to see in this and future episodes, their hearts were not really aligned to the Lord in a saving way. What is the difference between how this crowd received Him and His apostles received Him? And how is the "bread" that God provides superior to the bread that the crowd was seeking?

In this episode we begin our examination of John 6 by talking about Jesus feeding the five thousand (vv. 1-15). We will talk about what this miracle would have communicated to those who followed Jesus, as well as how this events sets up Jesus' words in the rest of the chapter.

In this episode we look at the very well-known psalm, Psalm 23, and see how the Lord, as our shepherd, looks after and cares for His sheep.

In this episode, I share a sermon that revisits John 4 and talks about what we can learn about evangelism based on Jesus' interaction with the Samaritan woman at the well. This is not a verse by verse or section by section examination like we did before on this podcast (see Eps. 359, 360, & 361 for this), but it is a discussion of how Jesus engaged with this woman and how His example can be applied in evangelism today.

Because Jesus Christ is God, He deserves to be glorified, just as the Father is glorified. But Jesus' Jewish enemies were offended by His claim of being God, so they did not give Him that glory. What were the barriers that prevented them from doing so? And what made their refusal to recognize Christ so foolish?

When a significant claim is being made, many people would want eyewitness testimony to back up that claim. When Jesus claimed to be God, one might wonder if anyone else can testify to the truth of that claim. In John 5, Jesus provides His audience wth the testimony from the Father that Jesus is the Son of God. In this episode we examine this testimony that Jesus lays out to His enemies.

If Jesus Christ is God, as He Himself claimed to be, then it should stand true that He possesses authority. How does Jesus describe that authority? That's what we explore in this episode as we continue our exploration of John 5. Here we will talk about how Jesus describes His authority in regeneration, the resurrection of the body, and the judgment He executes at the end.
