I've learnt so much from your videos Pastor. I have a request, please don't ever delete any of these videos both old and new. I want to come back everytime and watch and learn again. 😊
I read that it was Jewish custom that when a master was eating at his table if he threw down his napkin it was a sign to his servant that he was finished his meal but if he folded it it was a sign to the servant that he wasn't finished his meal if he left the table and would be back for it. Thank you, Pastor Paul. God bless.
The whole event is a picture of the jewish wedding custom. It was not time for Maria (representing the rest of us, the bride) to join the groom yet. The groom has to first go to his fathers house (property) and prepare the home for himself and his bride. Then he will come back and get his bride, who will have to wait, not knowing when he will return.
Mary loved Jesus very much, she just wanted to be with Him especially after all that had just happened, she wouldn’t have let go of Him. So Jesus had to politely tell her why she had to let go - there was more to be done and He couldn’t stay on earth much longer, that He had to ascend and be with the Father. I believe she wanted a longer reunion and for Him to stay. I like how He gave her something to do (deliver a message) so she wouldn’t feel sad about having to let go of Him. Loving this study, it has blessed me so much. Thank you for sharing these videos, so grateful 😊
WOW....That has knocked my socks off.. John 14:15-21 I've never seen that before nor had any idea that Jesus was so direct about the Holy Spirit... and he can be believed ❤😂...just so wonderful
Is anyone able to answer my question: were none of the disciples regnerate/saved before this moment when Jesus breathed on them? I have always thought that at least SOME of them (if not all besides Judas) were saved during the 3 years they followed Jesus
It is VERY common when people are retelling an event for them to focus on the characters they feel made the biggest contribution to the narrative. The fact that John only mentions Mary does NOT negate or contradict Mark's telling of the same event which mentions more women.
Thank you Pastor Paul, I have loved the Book of John, its so full on. From Jesus's journey gathering His disciples to healing the sick. Jesus deity , His crucifixion, blessing with the Holy Spirit. And I can go on and on. Thank you so much for your powerful teachings. Blessings to you Pastor Paul and your loved one's.
Since the text doesn’t say why Jesus did not want her clinging to him then we don’t add our own opinion. Just take it as He said we don’t need any explanation beyond what He said
