Presentation Transcript

  1. Lesson 10 – John 1:29–2:25 Come and See

  2. The Book of John • Quick review of the Gospels: what are the synoptic gospel writers (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) trying to do? • Answer the question, “Who is Christ?” • And what is John trying to do? • The members of the church already know who Christ is. • John answers the question, “Why is Christ?”

  3. Titles of Jesus • Let’s go through the first chapter of John and find (mark) all of the titles of Christ that are given. • “The Son of Man” – Not something you would find in the other gospels • Only Christ refers to Himself as this, always with “The” • The only begotten of the “Man of Holiness”

  4. Christ Gathers First Disciples • Word starts spreading… • John 1:38-39 – What is Christ’s invitation? • “Come and See” • More disciples join • Christ’s first public miracle • https://www.lds.org/bible-videos/videos/jesus-turns-water-into-wine • Notice they use the JST version of v4. • “Woman” • Was not a disrespectful address, rather a sign of honor • John 19:26

  5. Extra First Pages in Notebook • Miracle Log • Three columns: Reference, Miracle, Meaning • Parable Log • Three columns: Reference, Parable, Meaning

  6. Why this miracle? • Jesus just refused to turn stones into bread, why water into wine? • John 21:25 – John put this in very specifically • Easy answer: It’s His first public miracle. • Let’s dig a bit deeper into the symbolism

  7. Twist Endings • John is going back and finding all the clues, now that He knows the mission of Christ, as Christ did? • What does the wine represent? The water? • Christ the living water -> Blood of sacrifice • Jesus the Bridegroom • The man’s comment (2:10) • Is this a stretch? Does Christ already know He will be sacrificed? • John 2:18-22

  8. The Invitation • John is inviting us and all members of the Church, as Christ did, to “Come and See” • President Uchtdorf: http://broadcast.lds.org/visual-resources/new-testament/2003-08-00-john-1-39-uchtdorf-come-and-see-1000k-eng.mp4 • Let us not only learn, but also be a part of it.

  9. Notebook Ideas • Who is Christ? What titles most inspire and teach you about Him? • How can you invite others to “Come and See”?
