The Vineyard- June 21, 2015

The Vineyard

I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. – John 15:5

Luke 18:15-17

-          Pride vs. Humility

o       Immediately prior to this section, Jesus speaks of humbling ourselves in order to be exalted, and cautions against exalting ourselves, lest we be humbled.  How are you doing with your pride? 

-          How We View Children

o       In Jesus’ day, especially in the Roman world,   infants were judged by what they could contribute, which at such an early age was nothing.  Jesus however, didn’t care that they couldn’t do anything for Him, but delighted in their humble nature.  

o       Do we value others based on what they can do for us, or do we value them based on their humility?

-          Fostering Humility

o       We are children in God’s eyes.  He loves us not based on what we can do for Him, but because of our inherent value as beings made in His image.  Do you approach God with childlike humility?  How might you foster humility before God in your own life?

Pray that we will judge others not based on what they can do for us, but by their humility. 

Pray that we ourselves will learn to approach God with humility.

John 17:1-26

-          Jesus Prays for Himself

o   In this prayer of Jesus, we see Him longing to return to the Father’s side, longing to be once again who He truly is, the glorified Son of God.  What does it mean to you that Jesus willing left His home in glory with the Father, to endure life and a horrible death on earth, all so that we could be forgiven?

-          Jesus Prays for His Disciples

o   Notice that Jesus attention shifts to His followers, His disciples.  What does Jesus pray concerning His disciples?

o   How does Jesus’ prayer reveal what is truly important concerning our Christian walk?

-          Jesus Prays for You!

o   The final part of Jesus’ prayer is for those who would come to know Him in the future.  That’s you!

o   What does it mean to you, to know that Jesus, the Son of God, prayed for you before He went to the cross?

Praise God for His Son Jesus, and His willingness to humble Himself for our sake. 

Pray for that we might bear witness to Christ in this world, and be as one just as Jesus desires.    

Pray that just as we have come to know Christ through the labors of others, that our labors might also bring others to Him.

I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. – John 15:5

 

John 16:4-15

-          “To our advantage”

o   It is hard to believe that it was actually to the disciples’ advantage that Jesus’ leave them.  Why does Jesus say that it is to their advantage?

o   We often lament not living at the time when we could physically see Jesus, which would be a tremendous blessing.  However, Jesus says we receive a greater blessing in the coming of the Helper.  Do we sometimes forget about the presence of the Helper in our life?

-          For the prosecution

o   The Helper will come and convict the world of what three things?

o   How are sin, righteousness, and judgment defined by the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ?

-          Glorifying Christ

o   The role of the Helper will be to assist the disciples in comprehending the identity and teachings of Christ. 

o   How do we rely on the Helper, the Spirit, to guide us in better understanding and following Christ?

Pray that we will embrace the role of the Helper in our lives. 

Pray that the world will be convicted of sin, righteousness, and judgment through the work of the Helper.
