This week we will begin our Introduction to the gospel of John chapters 13,14,15,16, and 17 which are identifying as the “Upper Room Discourse.”   Each week we will delve into each chapter of the discourse to see the depth of Jesus’ final discussion with his disciples.  Many believe and are taught that the “Upper Room Discourse” refers specifically to the “Lord’s Supper.”  These five chapters go much deeper than just the action of washing the feet of others or eating lamb with bread and drinking wine which religion has made into an “ordinance of the faith.” This is just one of the many practices and commands Jesus gave to his disciples. As with many things in man-made religion, they see the splinter and blind to the beam! The Spiritual depth Jesus is communicating in this discourse is far greater than just having a meal together.  Of course the last supper has its place in Jesus’ journey to the cross. But in this discourse, he delivers several Spiritual revelations and insights that carry a much greater weigh into the purpose, intent, and plan of God the Father.

What do we know about the timing and place concerning this particular supper and discourse that followed? This  meal was established by God while Israel was captivity in Egypt. It was the final act of God through Moses for the release of His people Israel before He brought them out of bondage.  It was the beginning of the Passover feast.  This was last meal Israel would eat in their captivity in Egypt!   Sadly, many are stuck with this one aspect of the discourse center around this last meal Jesus ate!  This discourse with the disciples would go for several hours and well into the evening!  It was the beginning of a very long night for Jesus!  Let’s talk about it…

This week we conclude our teaching in the epistle of First John with chapter five. In this epistle John has established several important factors for the Spiritually birthed Sons of God. Here are some of the spiritual insights John provided throughout the epistle of First John, repeating them again and again.

1. John presented the work and person of the God the Father

2. John declared that Jesus Christ is Son of God, (more than 10 times)

3. John reveals Light (Phos) as a person, God the Father

4. John confirms that all believers/Sons should love one another because of the Spirit they have

5. John reveals that Love is a person, and that person is God the Father (as He is so are they as Sons)

6. John defines Spiritual Identity comes the Spirit God the Father has given to each Son

Throughout this wonderful epistle John has set before them all that it means to be a Spiritual Son of the Father. And that their new identity is confirmed by love for one another. In chapter five he will bring this first epistle to a close. As we will see in chapter five today, he will restate some of the key factors and details from chapters one to four. Let’s talk about it…

We are living in a time when people are just trying to survive! Whether it be a job, economic disparities, social injustice, or a marriage that is on the brink of collapse, people are hanging on with every ounce of human strength just to maintain a sense of “keeping it together.” The illusion of there being a moral compass in societies has been unmasked.

2 Timothy 3:1-4 says,

1.But understand this: In the last days terrible times will come. 2. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy 3. unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, without love of good, 4. traitorous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5. having a form of godliness but denying its power. Turn away from such as these.   

In the Church the idea of being “saved” or “born-again” has been so diluted and muddied with subjective ideas of man-made religion to such a large degree, that it has left many in the Church disillusioned and confused while trying to “wade” through the woes and cares of the world.

In a time where it appears that the world is spinning out of control, including the Church with it, these powerful words from John bring comfort and peace to the one who “knows” that they are the Spiritual Son of God.

“I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may “know” that you have eternal life.” 1 John 5: 13

I trust the Father that, “…The eyes of “our” heart “will” be enlightened, so that “we” may know the hope of His calling, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints 19 and the surpassing greatness of His power to us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength. (Ephesians 1: 18,19) as we continue our discussion in the final chapter of John’s first epistle.

John discusses the OVERCOMING AGAPE LOVE of THE FATHER. As a BIRTHED SON – THE SPIRITUAL SON OF THE FATHER, out of THE DIVINE NATURE (II Peter 1:4), we have received THE FATHER’S OVERCOMING POWER to overcome the world, the flesh, and even the devil.

These are some important and strategic things that we need to fully discuss along with THE SPIRITUAL REVELATION that we SHOULD FULLY KNOW (Gk: epiginosko). Prayerfully, we can grasp the TOTAL REALIZATION that only THE FATHER can provide us as we move through THE PROCESS of SPIRITUAL SONSHIP. Perhaps, this may also ENCOURAGE and ENABLE US to make ALL our decisions as SPIRITUAL DECISIONS in our NEW SPIRITUAL SON IDENTITY! This can become a driving force to ENABLE us to LIVE and WALK faithfully in OBEDIENCE to THE FATHER in FULL FELLOWSHIP!

Let us look at I John 5:1-21 and review the insight that John the Apostle has declared to us, as well as some other related texts and verses. This should help bring us additional confirmation of THE FATHER being ETERNAL AGAPE LOVE and what ALL WE HAVE RECEIVED from HIM through our SPIRIT BIRTHING!

We conclude our teaching on First John chapter four this week.  In chapter four John continues to build on the foundation he laid in the previous chapters – his foundation is “Love.”  John is known as the apostle of “Love.”  In this chapter he guides readers into the true and exact identity of Love! Up until now the word “Love” has not truly been defined.  In chapter four we see “Love” is not just a word written and spoken in various languages and tongues and is more than the Greek word “agape” in the biblical text.  Love is a person! Love as a specific person who is absolute and unchangeable!  Love is Eternal and is outside of time, space, and matter! Love cannot be understood, controlled, or known by anything or anyone created by Love! God is Love!  Because Love is God! And this person as Love MUST be revealed!  Love is Spirit! Jesus said;

Jhn 4:24 God (Love) is Spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.

Paul said this,

1Co 2:9-11 But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God (Love) has prepared for those who love him”– these things Love has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of Love. 11 For who knows a person’s thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of Love except the Spirit of Love. Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from Love, that we might understand the things freely given us by Love.

Everyone born into this world has a deep need to be loved put there by Love Himself.  This need to be loved is imbued into the very fabric of identity in humankind!   From birth to death everyone hungers and thirsts for love.  So, what’s the problem?

Sister Brenda said this in her message last week.

“Due to mis-information, dis-information and mal-information, emotional temperatures are rising among groups of people based on political affiliations, geographical origins, ethnicity, and culture identities which has created an atmosphere of fear, hate and distrust. Sadly, as a result, many men and women, and Spiritual Sons in the Church hearts have “waxed” cold.”

Mathew 24: 11- 12 says,

And many false prophets shall be raised up, and deceive many.  And because anxiety shall increase, the love of many shall be cooled.

So, what’s the issue or problem?  More to come!  Let’s talk about it…
