Introduction: Things are beginning to shift a bit.
Christ is preparing men for His departure.
He saw the need for intentional and intense prayer (Vs.
12)
A disciple in many ways was an apprentice and learner while an apostle was a chosen messenger with a specific mission.
Apostles were usually commissioned to go.
Why does the text state that He prayed all night?
First, I believe it discusses the intensity in which He was praying.
Heb.
5:7-11, Luke 22:41-44
“Vehement cries-”intense manner”
“more earnestly”-Great drops of blood- expresses that Christ also faced stress as a man.
My recent conviction on prayer-
Challenge to the church to come looking for opportunities to lift each other up in prayer.
Are we seeking a more earnest and intentional prayer life?
Two reasons He was praying- Opposition was growing, and He was seeking to call 12 apostles.
2) He desired to see men change, remain faithful, with the potential of impacting others through the Lords power.
Men to conduct His future ministry.
Vs 13-16
Why Judas and Why Thomas?”
John 6:64 explains that Christ knew from the beginning.
John 6:60-70
Perhaps Christ felt that God desired these men included.
Take notice that Peter is always mentioned first in all the accounts, while Judas Iscariot is mentioned last (excluding Acts 1).
“Zealot”= Possibly was to denote that Simon was a fanatical jew or “Quanna” which denotes “Jealous for God zealous for God’s honor”
Iscariot could be derived by location and culture, or perhaps the root word “Segar” which literally means “Falsehood”.
This selection process was much like a draft that we would see in our day today.
Many are listed as disciples, but only a few are selected as Apostles.
Perhaps extra prayer was designated for certain names?
John 6:64
There are a few reasons why Judas may have been chosen.
Judas fits the plan of God (1 Peter 3:18)
To fufill prophecy (Matt.
26:24)
3) God’s Sovereign Plan had to be accomplished (Acts 2:23)
3) He came down to meet them where they were at.
Vs 17
-Figuratively and Physically
_No matter the distance, there was a process in which He sought his people.
“Obedience by the things which He suffered”
This is a process!
4) He desired to restore people so that they may believe.
“While we were yet sinners’, Christ died for us.
(Judas).
Power went out of Him
This interaction takes place before a great sermon.
All so that they may realize that the life in which Christ offers is a blessing!
