John Chapter 13 Discussion Page 3

This isn't easy to do, but is a good challenge for everyone- to love others that much. Jesus loved us enough to die for us so that sets the bar pretty high- how can we possibly love others that much? Takes much practice I'm sure.

1-38 a as a whole we learn JESUS mind remains on finishing HIS work on earth because JESUS knows once HIS work on earth is finished all of us /mankind SHALL have access to the door that lead to SALVATION, see John 3;16-21. Though JESUS finished HIS earthly work, it will be my /your personal decision whether to enter into or not to enter into the door /SALVATION that JESUS has prepared for us. SALVATION that cause our name to be written in the BOOK, see Revelation 11-15.

Soul sleep is a highly controversial thing. Many briliant scholars believe it, many do not.. From whence did Endora call up Samuel, from his rest. Experiential things such as near desth on a surgery table, coming back after seeing loved ones. Perhaps the difference is before after Christ's resurrection. I lean towads no soul sleep after Jesus resurrection. If not, it's ok i'll just be asleep.

Greetings sir. First part of your question, you say "call you home" He won't call you anywhere if you die before he comes back, if you die, that's just it you will sleep until his return, back to dust, the dead know nothing. So there for, your wife first of all knows nothing, then you will know nothing until his return.

I don't know what Bible verse addresses this but I've heard of many testimonies of people who have passed on and then who have been brought back to life who say their loved ones where there to greet them. There have even been movies made about this.

Danny Lawson, please read KJV Bible scriptures: 2 Samuel 12:23 Genesis 25:8 Genesis 35:29 Genesis 49:29 Numbers 20:24 Judges 2:10 Luke 22:17-18 Matthew 8:11 Matthew 17:1-3 1 Thessalonians 4:17 psalm 116:15 John 11:21-27.

My wife passed away Feb.24 2017 my question is when the Good Lord call me home will she know me? Where in the bible answers that question

Jesus is speaking of 2 different kinds of ppl th new commandment is a living being th h.g.our new innerman that is born in us via his precious seed the word, love him as you wd love me then he says that you also love one another thats your fellow disciples mankind but he always hide things in his parables. these things are hid from the wise and prudent but revealed unto babes our new innerman gb

Yes a sense of humor and a wine bibber...but i do believe that he liked to see people enjoying themselves, that's why He liked weddings!

Jesus Answered them, Have not I Chosen You Twelve and One of You is a Devil? ( John 6:70)

Jesus chose his disciples, yes? How could he not know his person, whether he would betray him, as Judas did. There are apocryphal accounts of discourse between them relating spiritual matters. But the betrayal was necessary in the story. To me Judas represents the worldly person, not necessarily evil but of the world. And we know that this world is more evil than benign. Who will be saved, ?

God is first in our life when we awake in the morning. He is our light of love as we help others. We walk with His kindness. We turn to Him for help when needed. Glory to our Lord in Heaven. He's always there for us. Do you need Him right now? Get on your knees and find that quiet, place when you can hear His voice reply back to you. You are never alone. Mistakes in your life forgiven!!

I like verse 9 where Simon Peter says not just my feet but my hands and my head also. It may be that he is being sincere and is asking Jesus to wash his hands and head but I read it as Simon Peter making a joke to Jesus. If this is the case we can infer that Jesus had a sense of humour.

Verse 17~In order to be truly happy we must not only hear Jesus' teachings but we must also apply them and practice them.

Jesus said its the things that come from the HEART THAT DEFILES A MAN BUT TO EAT WITH UNWASHED HANDS DEFILETH NOT AMAN,ITS NOT OUR PERSONAL HYGIENE THAT DEFILES US ITS OUR HEARTS,BUT JESUS SAID HE THAT EATS BREAD WITH ME HAS LIFTED UP HIS HEEL AGAINST ME BUT JUDAS NEVA LIFTED UP HIS HEEL AGAINST CHRIST,JUDAS NEVA ASSAULTED JESUS WITH HIS FEET,ITS WAS HIS HEART THAT ASSAULTED JESUS,ITS OUR HEARTS

Where I go you cannot come, for this world is a place of becoming. We are not yet what we are meant to be. So God sends to earth for us models of perfection, as teachers, examples of his mercy, speakers of truth. How rare, on earth to hear truth spoken! But it is written in red, in psalms, in the teaching of Moses, and others. But on earth in this our day the truth tellers are few, if any. Oi

It is best to trust the scriptures. God had a plan which He put into practice after He begat his Son, it was based on foreknowledge. Many times God speaks of events and or people that will occur weeks or years latter. Make no mistake there is only One God ,One Son, One HOLY GHOST.

Judas was a type of Judah that sold Joseph, but Joseph forgave all his brethren that sold him into bondage,When Jesus was on the cross he prayed FATHER FORGIVE THEM THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO, THAT INCLUDED EVEN JUDAS , HIS LOVE AND MERCY IS BEYOND OUR COMPREHENSION. KEEP In MIND Peter also betrayed him.Paul was killing Christians but God forgave Him.His love and GRACE is beyond our comprehension.

Judas was chosen, but not by Jesus to betray him, God created us and gave us free will, when he put Adam and Eve in the Garden, it wasn't for them to fail, but the enemy came in, and therefore the fall of Man, It was in Judas heart and that's why the enemy chose him, it was already there and Jesus knew that, He(Judas) had a choice and he made it, and therefore paid the price for it.

The foot washing was a HEART washing, Satan enters our hearts not our feet, Jesus had always said what comes from a MAN HEART is what DEFILES him, He neva said our personal hygiene defiles us. He says to eat with unwashed hands defileth NOT a man. Jesus said he that eateth bread with me has lifted up his HEEL against me,But Judas neva assaulted Jesus with his heel.ITS OUR HEARTS THAT NEED WASHING

Appreciate the explanation

Verse 35: The identifying mark of true Christians would be that they have self-sacrificing love like Jesus had for his disciples.

Judas Iscariote was called and chosen from among the many of Jesus' followers, to be "One of the Twelve." The Lord gave him every opportunity to become what God had planned for him, and to be one of the Pillars of the New Testament; but Judas would not! When Moses sent the twelve men to spy out the land, and bring word to the Congregation; all could have been like Joshua and Caleb, but ten failed!

Paye Youpele (cont.); The term, "That the Scripture might be fulfilled," doesn't mean that God plans ahead to make anyone sin! Then everyone could blame Him for making them something that He just wanted to destroy anyway! THAT IS A THOUGHT FROM THE DEVIL! What the Holy Spirit moved the holy Prophets and Apostles to write their observations and judgments, became Law of God; which must be fulfilled.

Paye Youpele; Judas was NOT chosen so he could betray the Lord! Israel was not brought out of the bondage and cruel oppression of Egypt so they could defy God and resist His Spirit and that He may be able to leave them for forty years in the wilderness to die! God saves us with the fullest of good intentions! It is man's fault for his own selfishness if he DECIDES to betray the Lord and fall away!

John 3: 18 I know whom I have chosen but that the scripture may be fulfilled. Judas was only chosen to betray the lord to facilitate the mission of the lord. May the good lord choose us for something positive.

John13:7 7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now but thou shalt know hereafter. Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. The Holy Spirit will open our eyes to the Word of God.

Mission nearly accomplished. Jesus is winding down His Ministry. All set for the sacrifice of His Body and Blood for our sins. Oh what love!

Peter

Amen.
