Introduction
Memory Text: “ ‘The Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you’ ” (John 14:26, NKJV).
This week’s
lesson looks at how the gospel of John presents the Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit, but now within the context of the farewell discourse (John 13-17). If
you must understand God, you must look at Jesus and what has been revealed in
the Word.
What are some of the roles of the Father as described in Sunday’s lesson?
God gave us His only begotten Son, not to condemn the world
but that the World through Him might be saved. That all who feed on His Son
might live because of the Son.
God committed all judgement to the Son.
God the Father, sent the Son, the Bread of Life and the Words
the Son speaks are the Father’s.
God teaches those who come to Jesus.
The Father answers prayers in the name of the Son.
What was the intention of the Godhead to all humanity for the breach caused
by sin?
The intention of the Godhead was to offer healing to all
humanity for that breach caused by sin, even if all humanity would not accept
what They offered.
How was the intention of the Godhead to all humanity for the breach caused
by sin accomplished?
To accomplish the restoration of this relationship, one Member
of the Godhead became human and dwelt among us. As a result, humanity has
received His fullness and grace.
What wonderful hope is there for us as highlighted in Monday’s lesson?
We tell from the verses in Monday’s lesson that the Godhead
had be working from the beginning to restore the relationship that was broken
by sin. God was not recognized by humanity (John 17:25). Thus, He sent His only
Son (John 9:4, John 16:5) in order that He, the Father, might be known.
What lessons are contained in Tuesday’s lesson concerning the relationship
between God the Father and the Son?
Jesus was the Father’s representative here on earth, He came
to live out, in human flesh, the Father’s will. In Christ’s life, He showed how
totally surrendered Jesus, as a human being, was to the Father. Jesus asserts
that all of His teachings are the teachings of the Father, that all He says He
had personally heard from the Father; that belief in Him is the same as belief
in the Father; that both His very words and His works are all of the Father;
and that He and the Father are united in loving and working for the salvation
of humanity.
What does John 1:10-13 teach about the importance of the Holy Spirit?
John tells us that as many as received the Word (that is, as
many as believed in Him) became children of God, those “who were born, not of
blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God” (John
1:13, NKJV). This comes only from the work of the Holy Spirit.
What is the key for us to know what is right, true and good?
The key for us to know what is right, what is true and what
is good is our submission of our reason and life experiences to the Word of God
through the convicting and convincing power of the Holy Spirit. It is the Holy
Spirit, the Highest of all gifts that Jesus could solicit from the Father, that
convicts of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment. (John 16:8-11).
What was the prayer of Jesus in the farewell discourse of the book of John?
The prayer of Jesus is that they may know the Father, that
all may be sanctified by the truth. John 17 does not only portray all that
matters as unity and love, there is a suggestion of a much more vital connection
between love and truth.
