WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS EPISODE?

This Jesus Stories episode dives deep into Jesus second “I am” statement: “I AM the light of the world.” What does that mean? Where does that come from? What does it mean for us? How should it affect our lives? And how does Thanksgiving play into this statement? There’s a lot to think about in this episode.

#4-55 I AM!

WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS EPISODE?

In this Jesus Stories episode, Jesus tells his listeners of his identity.  However, the Pharisees and other Jews spend more time arguing than listening. Jesus challenges them with his words and reveals who he is, where he has come from, and from where he has received his authority. That doesn’t set well with the teachers and Pharisees. Although, some others believe.  I break down this teaching to help you understand this interchange.

WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS EPISODE:

Jesus made seven “I AM” statements. Today we look at “I AM the Bread of Life.” As Jesus makes this statement, we find that it is difficult to understand what he is trying to tell us. We break this down in this episode. What is Jesus trying to tell us? What does it mean for us today? Are there actions we need to take to make this understanding a part of us?

#4-45-Healing, Teaching, and More

Posted on by admin

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

SHOW NOTES:

How many roles does Jesus take on in this episode? He moves from teaching and story-telling to action. At the request of a leader of a synagogue, he heals her daughter. But, not before healing a woman whom he calls “my daughter” from a disease which has ostracized her from society for 12 years. He helps two blind me to see because of their faith. And he throws out another demon.

But, opposition is beginning to build against his healing. The Pharisees think that he is throwing out demons by the power of Satan. And, when Jesus goes back to his home town of Nazareth, he is rejected and not believed. “Where did he get all this wisdom and power to perform such miracles.” He’s just a carpenter and the son of Mary.

Traveling around with a great crowd following, Jesus sees a massive work-load. So, he commissions his apostles to go – teach, heal, and throw out demons. He gives them specific instructions for their task ahead. Some of those instructions apply to us as well.

Finally, we learn of the fate of John the Baptist at the hands of King Herod.

4-36 Warnings & Waiting

What Happens in this Episode?

We resume the narrative from episode #4-34. Jesus is in the midst of a crowd of thousands of people. People are stepping all over each other – in spite of Jesus rough teaching to the Pharisees. Now Jesus turns to these people with his own warnings about the Pharisees. He continues with a challenge to speak up for him even when it is difficult. He teaches about greed and repeats a lesson we heard in the Sermon on the Mount – don’t worry. He reminds his listeners to be ready; ready to serve, ready for Jesus to return.
