Learn all about the wonderful teaching ministry of God the Holy Spirit! We need Him to discern the Truth; to enlighten us as no other teacher can do!
John 16:8-11 This is a continuation of the Lord's teaching about the reproving ministry of the Holy Spirit, Who He promised to send to indwell believers of the Church Age. The Spirit would not only comfort believers, who would great need comforting as the face a hostile world, but He would convict/convince the lost through the Gospel message proclaimed by the Church. His reproving ministry involves convicting people that there is indeed a problem with the human condition, and it is called sin. But, He not only convicts people of their unholiness, He also shows them how the righteousness of Christ is freely available for them! When a person put his or her faith in Jesus Christ, His righteousness is imputed to them! "God made Him Who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him" (II Corinthians 5:21)! It is A WONDERFUL EXCHANGE - we trade our sin for His righteousness! A third reproving aspect of the Spirit's ministry is to convince men of judgment. He works to convince me of the great sin of rejecting the One Way to obtain forgiveness and receive righteousness, which is by faith in Christ. True preaching, teaching, and witnessing will never condone sin, it will always exalt the righteousness of Christ, and it will forewarn of the inevitability of eternal judgment.
John 16:8-11 The Lord's greatest gift-promise to His men given during the course of His "Farewell Discourse" (the night of His arrest) was to send them the Holy Spirit. In Lesson 157, we discuss the Spirit's role to the Church as Comforter. However, the Spirit's ministry after Christ's ascension was not merely to comfort believers as they passed through the world; He was also sent in mercy by the Lord to convict the world so many people come come to saving faith in Christ. The Spirit not only has a defensive ministry for believers, but He has an offensive (meaning aggressive) ministry to the world! He was sent to convict the lost; to awaken a person's conscience to three basic truths: (1) the actuality of sin, (2) the availability of righteousness, and (3) the inevitability of judgment.
John 15:26-16:7 There is much confusion today in this world about the third Member of the Triune Godhead, so the lessons on the Holy Spirit, given to His disciples on the night of His arrest as part of His "Farewell Discourse," are critical for our proper understanding the ministry and the function (role) of the Spirit. In the previous lesson (#156), the Lord's subject dealt with the hateful opposition of the world toward the Church (Christians). His next subject was "The Ministries of the Holy Spirit" both to and through the Church in the world. Christ spoke of three particular functions (roles) of the Spirit: as Comforter (this lesson), as Reprover, and as Teacher. This lesson is about His role, to the Church, as Comforter - a very important role for believers today as we face increasing persecution worldwide!
John 13:23-35 The Lord Jesus gave Judas every opportunity to repent and turn from the wicked path he was taking, but He could no longer postpone the inevitable. There were critical truths to share with His disciples that could not be said while a "tare" was among them, and as long as Satan himself hovered about in the room. This lesson, "And it was Night" is about the deliberate steps Christ took to expel Judas from His presence. Jesus was about to transition the Passover Supper into "The Lord's Supper," which was to become an ordinance for His future Church to be observed only by believers. Thus, Judas (unless he repented) needed to be released so the events that led the cross would begin to transpire. In this lesson, "The Giving of the Sop," we discuss Judas and the Devil; Judas and the Disciples, and Judas and the Darkness. We also discuss Christ's "new" commandment of John 13:34.
Matthew 26:21-25; Mark 14:18-21; Luke 22:21-23; John 13:12-22 In this lesson, "Traitor at the Table," we continue to look at the circumstances surrounding the events that occurred early during the Lord's final Passover Supper. Jesus had just given His men a demonstration on humility when He girded Himself in a towel and washed their feet. Following His return to the table, He then gave them a discourse on humility in which He spoke of "The Requirement of Humility" and "The Reward of Happiness". During the course of our narrative, we branch off to talk about the 3 requirements for something to be a valid, Biblical ordinance of the Church (such as baptism and communion). In the second half of this lesson, "A Shocking Report," Jesus told His men that His betrayer was one of them! Each of the 3 subdivisions of this section center on Judas Iscariot: "Revelation about the Betrayer," "Response Regarding the Betrayer," and Christ's very serious "Remonstration to the Betrayer". An unholy man was used by Holy God to accomplish His holy purposes for an unholy world!
John 13:1-11; Matthew 26:10; Mark 14:17; Luke 22:14-16 This lesson, "Teaching in a Towel," is about an embarrassing lesson the disciples again had to learn "the hard way". Jesus girded Himself in a servant's towel to do what none of them had done when they entered the Upper Room to celebrate the Passover Supper together. He washed the disciples' feet, giving them a lesson by example on humility - one they would never forget, we can be sure! The outline for this lesson consists of 3 divisions: "Selfish Contention," "Selfless Condescension," and "Simon's Contradiction". In an atmosphere of selfish strife among His chosen few, The King of kings took off His robe to teach them something true. With a towel His humble clothing (as swaddling strips had been), The Lord of Glory, Son of God, washed the feet of sinful men. Such willful condescension, the world can't understand, Nor can it grasp the Love that let coarse nails pierce His hand! K. Caldwell
Matthew 26:14-19; Mark 14:10-16; Luke 22:3-13 In addition to discussing the final recorded event of Passion Week Tuesday ("the busy day"), which we have entitled "Rulers Purchase the Passover" (from Judas, the betrayer), we also discuss the events of the next day, which we have entitled, "Disciples Prepare for the Passover Supper". It was going to be the Lord's last full, pre-resurrection day with His men, and He had much more to say to prepare them not only for the next few very critical days, but for their future ministry to the world, as well.
