THINKING BIBLICALLY | SUNDAYS | 9:15 AM | ROOM 201 Very regularly in John’s Gospel, in fact approximately 44 times, Jesus identified Himself as “the Sent One,” or as “the One sent by His Father.” Although he was also identified as “Lord,” “Son of God,” and “Messiah,” most certainly he understood himself as sent, as "The Sent One." With this view in mind, we will delve into John’s Gospel, consistently asking: To whom was Jesus sent? What message did he bear? And, how will we, as his disciples, apply: “Just as the Father has sent me, so I send you”? This class is for all who want to grow more deeply in Christ, particularly as we give careful, dialogical thought to Jesus’ words. Or stated differently: Through the Spirit of Christ, we seek to be so shaped by the scriptures, in order that we might live and think faithfully in a world shaped by forces alien to the scriptures. One need not have shared in any of our previous discussions and/or classes. All are welcome, middle school and beyond. + Stan Johnson [781.883.5577] + Jim Cochrane [317.650.9668] The Young Adult Ministry includes individuals ages 18-33 years old.
