Day 310, 6th November Bible Commentary With Dr. Toyin Ojo Taken From The Book Of Luke, Mark, John And Matthew.
ON EVERY LIP
It was very momentous as the news about what happened to Jesus and the supernatural signs that happened, as he gave up the ghost became the talk of the city and its environ; he was on every lip!
LUKE 2413-35
JESUS WAS ON EVERY LIP IN JERUSALEM – he appeared to two of his disciples on their way to Emmaus, they were talking about him and he joined the
conversation. Holding back his identity and his knowledge of the events; they were surprised he didn’t know because the whole city knows.
He told them these things had been written by Moses and the Prophets for them to know, howbeit, they are void of knowledge and foolish (Read v.25-27).
- At their destination, He appeared to be going further but they persuaded him “stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over.” 29.
WHILE AT THE TABLE…. They recognized Jesus!
Jesus gave thanks broke bread and gave them. And immediately they recognized him and he disappeared (v.31).
- Then they questioned each other saying; “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the scriptures to us”32.
Then they went to Jerusalem and related their experience to the rest of the disciples who they met talking about Simon’s experience too! Also, read Mark 1612-13
LUKE 2436-43, JOHN 2019-23, MARK 1614, JOHN 2024-29
APPEARING TO THE DISCIPLES IN GROUPS
As the disciples were gathered, amazed by the signs of his resurrection and the encounter of the women, Mary Magdalene, Simon Peter, and of the most recent -two disciples he met on their way to Emmaus. Jesus appeared to them saying “Peace be with you” Jh 2019.
They were frightened, overtaken by amazement and joy tempered their unbelieved by; He showing them his hands and asking for something to eat.
“They gave him a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate it in their presence.” Lk 2442.
Thomas was absent when he heard what had happened for they said "we have seen the Lord" (John 2025), filled with unbelieve he said; "Unless I see the nail marks and put my finger where the nails where and my hand into his side, I will not believe." v.26.
DON'T MISS THIS❗️
- JESUS GAVE US THE HOLY SPIRIT WITH HIS BREATHE — "And with that, he breathed on them and said, "Recieve the Holy Spirit." (Read his impartation of power, the Holy Spirit, and authority - even the capacity to forgive sins in John 2021-23).
A WEEK LATER …. JESUS APPEARED AMONG THEM —
They have been hiding behind closed doors for fear (see John 2019,26). Greeting them with a blessing “Peace be with you” Jh 2026.
- He said "Thomas put your finger here. Reach out your hand and put it into my Stop doubting and believe.” Jh 2027
- And Thomas believed saying “My Lord and my God!” Jh 2028
- Jesus replied “ Because you have seen me, you have believed; Blessed
are those who have not seen and yet believed.” Jh 2029
It is therefore important that we believe haven read the scripture!
- I note that our weaknesses do not nullify us – but draws the attention of the Lord our God to help us. For this appearance, Jesus had a weak friend – a weak disciple – in mind – What a friend indeed!.
JOHN 211-23
THE THIRD APPEARANCE
APPEARING TO 7 OF HIS DISCIPLES WHO RETURNED TO FISHING
⁕SIMON PETER ⁕THOMAS -DIDYMUS ⁕NATHANAEL ⁕JOHN ZEBEDEE
⁕JAMES ZEBEDEE ⁕AND TWO OTHERS.
Simon Peter set to go fishing and the others followed but they toiled and caught nothing until Jesus spoke
- “‘Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some’ When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.”6
A favorite disciple recognized it was Jesus as he exclaimed informing Peter, Peter jumping into the water swimming on to meet the Lord and the rest came along on boat. (v.7-9)
“When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread. Jesus said to them ‘Bring some of the fish you have just caught’” v.10
Jesus served them bread and fish –
- “This is now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples and after he was raised from the dead.”14.
Jesus Questioned and Challenged Peter 3 times If he loves him⁉️ – Read v.15,16,17
- Peter answered in the affirmative and Jesus instructed, corrected and guided his acts in those instances;
- “Jesus said ‘Feed my lambs’” v.15.
- “Jesus said ‘Take care of my sheep’” v.16.
- “Jesus said ‘Feed my sheep. Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted. But when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.”17-18 (read v.17-23).
As you continue reading v.18-23; You find that Jesus had foretold figuratively what kind of death Peter would die.
You also find his expectations of every clergy, minister, and ambassador. Jesus sets the guideline for effective ministry - the essence of the cleric.
- All these events were written by his disciple (John 2124). Many wonders done by Christ were unrecorded (Jh 2125).
MATTHEW 2816-20
OUR GREAT COMMISSION – IS TO ALL NATIONS; AS WE AND THE FIRST DISCIPLES ARE COMMANDED BY CHRIST JESUS saying
"All authority in heaven and on earth has been given me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." v.19-20
- Also see MARK 1615-18, LUKE 2444-49. Mark wrote of the authority that ought to follow each disciple/ambassador.
He reminded them he had told them the scripture must be fulfilled and; He opened their mind ( see Lk 2444-45)
“He told them “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem”
NIGHT
PRAY: Lord open my mind so I could understand the scriptures -
- Lord open my mind so I could understand the scriptures (Lk 2445).
- Lord anoint my life and ministry to command repentance so that many earn the forgiveness of their sins and be healed Spirit, Soul, and body.
