Exhorted from Laodicea (Revelation 3:14-22)

Revelation 3:14-22 speaks to the church in Laodicea, highlighting their useless faith and encouraging them to repent turning unto Christ. Jesus cautions them about their lack of spiritual awareness and advises them to acquire genuine faith, purity, and spiritual understanding. He waits for them to welcome Him into their congregation. Now, he patiently waits, but when he returns his patience will run out. The call is for the church to turn to Christ, consciously wanting Christ in their midst, and changing their course which lead to Christ being excommunicated from their communion.

How Much Authority Does Christ Have? (Luke 6:1-11)

This incident demonstrates Jesus's authority over traditional beliefs and demonstrates his mission to bring God’s people into the full victory rest that Adam forfeited.

Sinning Fraud or Messiah (Luke 5:27-39)

In Luke 5:27-39, Jesus asks Levi (Matthew) to follow him, eats with tax collectors and sinners. He tells the Pharisees he came for sinners, not the righteous.

We are left with the question: is Christ the Messiah or a fraud?

Otherwise Your Children Would Be Unclean (1 Cor. 7:14)

Paul refers to some children as clean, rather than unclean. Is baptism the cleansing bath? Does baptism make the child clean, or does Paul refer to something more fundamental and traditional? Why does Paul use Old Testament terms like clean and unclean?

Christ’s Resurrection Revelation (John 20:1-18; 21:1-19)

Christ obeys the father and dies on the cross to fulfill his father’s mission. Without being raised, his perfect obedience would be pointless.

His resurrection validates the Gospel.

Denying the Crucified Christ (John 18:15-27; 19:16-30)

Peter courageously wields his sword for Christ, then denies Him. He discovers Christ sacrifices for His followers, not vice versa. Our lives are to be centered on our savior, not ourselves.
