Discipleship

Friends, it is finished!

Hebrews 4:3-4  For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said, “As I swore in my wrath, ‘They shall not enter my rest,’” although his works were finished from the foundation of the world.

For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.

The creation of the world was completed by God in 6 days.

He rested on the 7th day, and sanctified it, the Sabbath, Shabbat.

When Yeshua died for the sins of the world his followers hurried to take Him down from the cross so they would not violate the commanded time to rest.

[Luke 23:54-56] So the Messiah completed His work of redemption just before entering into Shabbat.

As He died, He said, "It is finished!"

[John 19:30] Finishing His work and entering the grave opened the way for humanity to enter His rest, the rest He entered after creating the world.

Friends , Yeshua's "It is finished" is your invitation into His REST.

Take time this Shabbat to refresh your awareness of it, the rest that belongs to those who truly believe.

Cleanse your conscience through confession, and examine your relationships, knowing His forgiveness is able to restore you completely to peace, joy, and love.

Shabbat Shalom!

Your family in the Lord with much agape love,

John 6:1–14

(ESV) — 1 After this Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias.

2 And a large crowd was following him, because they saw the signs that he was doing on the sick.

3 Jesus went up on the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples.

4 Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand. 5 Lifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a large crowd was coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, so that these people may eat?” 6 He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.

7 Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread would not be enough for each of them to get a little.”

8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him, 9 “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are they for so many?” 10 Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.”

Now there was much grass in the place.

So the men sat down, about five thousand in number.

11 Jesus then took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated.

So also the fish, as much as they wanted.

12 And when they had eaten their fill, he told his disciples, “Gather up the leftover fragments, that nothing may be lost.”

13 So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves left by those who had eaten.

14 When the people saw the sign that he had done, they said, “This is indeed the Prophet who is to come into the world!”

6 After this Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias.

2 And a large crowd was following him, because they saw the signs that he was doing on the sick.

3 Jesus went up on the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples.

4 Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.

have you ever had not a dajavu exactly but a repeated incident where you were given another chance to make maybe a different decision?

I have

and historically I believe here that the people of the book is given an opportunity to remember scripture and to make the right discernment .

If you take the historical account of Moses and lay beside the historical account of Jesus you will be surprized of all the many parallels.

Moses the type of Christ

Incarnation - the people witnessed Jesus and the miracles he performed bringing attention to his authority.

Exodus - the signs that moses presented to Pharaoh

2. Incarnation - people under oppression under rome

Exodus - oppression under Egypt

3. Incarnation - John 6:1 Crossing the sea

Exodus - the red sea crossing

4. INcarnation Jesus went up to the mountain John 6:3

Exodus Moses went up on the mountain

4 Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.

a year prior to his Crucifixion.

a time of ritual that takes our thinking back to the event

After seeing the signs

After the plagues

After the signs of healing the sick

Calling out of Egypt the opposors

Calling out from rome

Crossing the sea

Crossing the sea

Question of what they were going to eat in the wilderness

Question of what they were going to eat here

The people turned against Moses

They will turn against Jesus

Point of doctrine the pattern of history is to teach us lessons that we might avoid the failures of the previous generation.

Would the people meet the same disastorous conclustions as the people headed to the promised land?

The answer will be yes as many will die rejecting the offer of the bread of life.

So much more here than just that Jesus miraculously fed 5000.

There is a point

4Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.

This was the second Passover that John mentioned.

It is a year prior to the Crucifixion.

John 6:5 (ESV) — 5 Lifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a large crowd was coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, so that these people may eat?”

They were near Philips home town Bethsaida.

Philip would know where he could find bread.

John 6:6 (ESV) — 6 He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.

πειράζω peirazō 38× to make proof or trial of, put to the proof,

Jesus not tempt one into sin.

Testing is the opportunity to exercise what has been given in the way revelation and teaching.

The disciples had seen much and had been taught much up to this point

Points of testing

Passing

Failing

For he Jesus knew what he was about to do.

Oh it is easy for Jesus just to go ahead and do it but to what benefit would the believer such as Phillip and the other disciples have by way of application.

Jesus does it they see the miracle and they are left in awe but no better for the missed opportunity of exercise in faith.

John 6:7 (ESV) — 7 Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread would not be enough for each of them to get a little.”

The disciples had a substantial amount in the treasury between 6 and 8 months salary for one man.

But it would only equate to a snack if that much for the five thousand.

Jesus presents the problem that would be reasoned out in the minds of his disciples and not reaching an understanding Jesus would then take care of business and at the same time provide for them a sign.

That which would bring their thinking back to where it should have been.

Andrew at this time is looking for an answer as he takes inventory.

John 6:8–9 (ESV) — 8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him, 9 “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are they for so many?”

Mark 3:21–22 (ESV) — 21 And when his family heard it, they went out to seize him, for they were saying, “He is out of his mind.”

21When His own people heard of this

αὑτός autos 5,597× self, very; alone,

His close relations Family, or those who are closely associated with Him.

Could be mother brothers and sisters.

Yes, Mother Mary.

Yes, regardless of what she may have witnessed throughout her sons life may have had much talking to by negative influences that made here forget those things she once treasured in her heart bringing doubt.
