Jesus And The Glorious Body (John 20:19-31)

Speaker: Reverend Joseph Poon

Website: http://www.bpcwa.org.au/

QUESTIONS

Q1. Does the Bible tell me what kind of body I will have at my resurrection? State these verses. Why is this doctrine so important?

Q2. How should this doctrine change my outlook of my body and my life on earth? How should I spend this coming holidays?

Q3. Does v22 mean that believers only received the indwelling of the Spirit after v22? Prove it. Explain what Jesus did here then.

Bible Passage (KJV): John 20:19-31

19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.

21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:

23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.

24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.

26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.

27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:

31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

This Has To Be God's Will! (1 Samuel 9:1-20)

Speaker: Reverend Joseph Poon

Website: http://www.bpcwa.org.au/

====

Bible Passage (KJV): 1 Samuel 9:1-20

1 Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of power. 

2 And he had a son, whose name was Saul, a choice young man, and a goodly: and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people. 

3 And the asses of Kish Saul's father were lost. And Kish said to Saul his son, Take now one of the servants with thee, and arise, go seek the asses. 

4 And he passed through mount Ephraim, and passed through the land of Shalisha, but they found them not: then they passed through the land of Shalim, and there they were not: and he passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they found them not. 

5 And when they were come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant that was with him, Come, and let us return; lest my father leave caring for the asses, and take thought for us. 

6 And he said unto him, Behold now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is an honourable man; all that he saith cometh surely to pass: now let us go thither; peradventure he can shew us our way that we should go. 

7 Then said Saul to his servant, But, behold, if we go, what shall we bring the man? for the bread is spent in our vessels, and there is not a present to bring to the man of God: what have we? 

8 And the servant answered Saul again, and said, Behold, I have here at hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver: that will I give to the man of God, to tell us our way. 

9 (Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to enquire of God, thus he spake, Come, and let us go to the seer: for he that is now called a Prophet was beforetime called a Seer.) 

10 Then said Saul to his servant, Well said; come, let us go. So they went unto the city where the man of God was. 

11 And as they went up the hill to the city, they found young maidens going out to draw water, and said unto them, Is the seer here? 

12 And they answered them, and said, He is; behold, he is before you: make haste now, for he came to day to the city; for there is a sacrifice of the people to day in the high place: 

13 As soon as ye be come into the city, ye shall straightway find him, before he go up to the high place to eat: for the people will not eat until he come, because he doth bless the sacrifice; and afterwards they eat that be bidden. Now therefore get you up; for about this time ye shall find him. 

14 And they went up into the city: and when they were come into the city, behold, Samuel came out against them, for to go up to the high place. 

15 Now the LORD had told Samuel in his ear a day before Saul came, saying, 

16 To morrow about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be captain over my people Israel, that he may save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked upon my people, because their cry is come unto me. 

17 And when Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said unto him, Behold the man whom I spake to thee of! this same shall reign over my people. 

18 Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, where the seer's house is. 

19 And Samuel answered Saul, and said, I am the seer: go up before me unto the high place; for ye shall eat with me to day, and to morrow I will let thee go, and will tell thee all that is in thine heart.

Bible Passage (KJV): 1 Peter 4:1-7 – (⁠00:00⁠)

QUESTIONS

Q1. Why does Peter tell the people in 1 Peter 4;7 that the end is at hand? What are the lessons for me today? – (05:07)

Q2. How should I view life even as a young person in the light of verse 7? – (29:32)

Q3. What do we do when we know that the end of our holiday overseas is nearing an end? How can I apply this to learn about how I should be? – (52:20)

=====

Bible Passage (KJV): 1 Peter 4:1-7

1 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;

2 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.

3 For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:

4 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:

5 Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.

6 For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

CHAPTER XXI OF RELIGIOUS WORSHIP AND THE SABBATH

3. Prayer, with thanksgiving, being one special part of religious worship,6 is by God required of all men;7 and, that it may be accepted, it is to be made in the name of the Son,8 by the help of His Spirit,9 according to His will,10 with understanding, reverence, humility, fervency, faith, love, and perseverance:11 and, if vocal, in a known tongue.12

6. Phil. 4:6

7. Ps. 65:2
