by atozmom, posted in BSF John's Gospel: The Truth 2023/2024

SUMMARY OF JOHN 14:27-31

Jesus gives his disciples peace. They should be glad he is returning to the Father. He has told them ahead of time so that they may believe.

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 19, Day 5: John 14:27-31

12a) That the peace Jesus brings is beyond the peace the world can give.

b) Peace with God is the peace we receive when we accept Christ as our Savior. We have made peace with God. Peace of God is the peace we receive when we trust Jesus. It is a feeling of closeness to God and being well with our relationship with Him.

Peace with God comes before Peace of God; both are God’s gift to us.

c) It gives me comfort and hope that my dreams will be achieved, that He will put me where He wants me; that life will be great.

13) Jesus’ death brings him back to the Father, which is what we all want. How wonderful is that! Jesus is preparing them, so they won’t be shocked. They can be comforted that Jesus is in a better place.

14a) Jesus will defeat the prince of this world aka the devil. The world/us can learn from Jesus’ battle with the devil that we can overcome him, too.

b) There’s really only two choices: a life of faith and a life without faith. No matter what, having God on your side is the only way to hope and strength in dire circumstances.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 19, Day 5: John 14:27-31

I love God’s peace! We all can have the peace of God. So amazing!

End Notes BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 19, Day 5: John 14:27-31

Saying “peace I leave with you” was a customary saying in the first century AD. Yet, Jesus’ peace was is better, a real peace we all can have.

Jesus’ death is a matter of rejoicing, as he will defeat the devil once and for all for all of us.

Jesus obeyed God on his way to the cross to defeat the devil; he is a willing sacrifice.

Now, they would be heading to the Garden of Gethsemane; the time has come.

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 19, Day 4: John 14:15, 21-26

by atozmom, posted in BSF John's Gospel: The Truth 2023/2024

SUMMARY OF JOHN 21-26

Jesus says whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. They will be loved by the Father. Those who not love him (Jesus) will not obey him. The Holy Spirit will teach them all things and remind them, too.

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 19, Day 4: John 14:15, 21-26

9a) When you love the Lord, you will obey him. Studying the Bible allows us to know his commands so we can obey them and love him more.

b) Those at my church, my friends and family, God’s Word, prayer, and the Holy Spirit. I can tell them about the Lord and live a Godly life, too.

10) They live in us, meaning they are present within us, so we can draw their strength when needed, be comforted, and not be alone.

11a) The Holy Spirit will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. The Holy Spirit helps us to understand God’s Word.

b) There has been countless times in my life where I’ve experienced God’s presence, grace, comfort, help, strength, and more. My faith grew as a result; I became a better person; I became closer to Him and more obedient.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 19, Day 4: John 14:15, 21-26

I love the connection of love and obedience! And, I love the presence of God every day of my life.

End Notes BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 19, Day 4: John 14:15, 21-26

The disciples are confused since they thought Jesus would reveal himself (Matthew 24:30). In addition, since they haven’t received the Holy Spirit yet, some things are just hard to understand.

Jesus reveals himself through love, obedience, and his union with the Father and us.

Three times in this passage we see whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me (John 14:15, 21 & 23-24).

God the Father sends God the Holy Spirit at the request of God the Son. How amazing!

The Holy Spirit would teach the disciples (and us).

Every believer receives the Holy Spirit when they receive Christ as their Savior.

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 19, Day 3: John 14:18-20

by atozmom, posted in BSF John's Gospel: The Truth 2023/2024

SUMMARY OF JOHN 14:18-20

Jesus comforts his disciples again, saying he won’t leave them. They will see him again. He will be in them.

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 19, Day 3: John 14:18-20

6) 1) I will not leave you as orphans 2) I will come to you 3) You will see me 4) You will live also 5) You are in me 6) I am in you.

Each is important because it comforts us and let’s us know we are not alone. We have the power of Jesus in us, so we can vanquish the Enemy. Jesus will help us when we need it. We are never alone.

7a) Jesus and God are one. We abide in Jesus. Jesus abides in us.

b) The fact that we are in God and Jesus and they are in us. It’s hard to fathom.

8 ) He cares about our every need and provides for our every need. No matter what, we can come to him — always and forever.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 19, Day 3: John 14:18-20

I love how Jesus is not concerned about himself at all, only about his disciples. That’s how it should be for us, too.

End Notes BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 19, Day 3: John 14:18-20

Jesus’ third assurance is that he will come to them (we saw this previously in John 14:3). This includes his Second Coming and the Holy Spirit.

The disciples will see Jesus after his resurrection. The Holy Spirit will live in them.

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 19, Day 2: John 14:15-17

by atozmom, posted in BSF John's Gospel: The Truth 2023/2024

SUMMARY OF JOHN 14:15-17

Jesus tells the disciples they will receive the Holy Spirit (an advocate) that will live inside them.

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 19, Day 2: John 14:15-17

3) They all work together for our good, to bring us closer to God.

4a) Advocate — someone who recommends and supports you or your cause. An advisor, defender, mediator, and intercessor.

Spirt of Truth — The Holy Spirit who allows us to understand God’s spiritual truths and guide us towards spiritual truth.

b) Right now, the disciples cannot understand the Holy Spirit because it has not been given yet (not until after Jesus’ death). After Jesus’ death, the disciples will receive the Holy Spirit inside of them and it will live inside of them, and then they will be able to understand the Holy Spirit.

5) That it exists at all!

Conclusions BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 19, Day 2: John 14:15-17

I love how Jesus loves us enough to prepare us and to give us gifts, such as a guide for life. How amazing!

End Notes BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 19, Day 2: John 14:15-17

Loving Jesus is keeping his commandments. It’s action.

Obedience comes out of love. Disobedience can be from a lack of love.

This is Jesus’ 2nd assurance he gives to the disciples: that he will give them a helper (Holy Spirit).

The Holy Spirit will abide with us permanently.

Jesus was already with them. The Holy Spirit would then be in them.
