Men’s Bible Study
In one more week the Men’s Bible Study group will have completed the Gospel of John. We will have spent about one year studying that great work. Do you think that a bit much? Then consider that we spent seven weeks studying John 3:16. “For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who beliieves in Him will not perish but have everlasting life.” (Holman Christian Standard Bible) Why do those few words require seven weeks? Would not a few sentences work just as well? Or maybe ten minutes would be sufficient. Let me answer that by quoting John 1:1-5.
“In the begining was the Word: and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the begining. All things were created through Him. In Him was life, and that light was the light of men. That light shines in the darkness, yet the darkness did not overcome it.” (HCSB)
After studying those words and those words leading to JOHN 3:16 and with help of video and word prepared by Max Lucado we found that “For God so loved the world…” is expressed in many ways starting with the Book of Genisis and lasting through each following book into the last Chapter of Revelation. Seven weeks, was that enough time? If the truth be told seven times seven may not have enough time.
Upon the conclusion of John the group desires to next study the Letter from James. This will quickly as James has only five chapters in it. But that may not be the whole of it. There is no telling where God’s word will lead us. Join us if you will. We all could stand a little closer to our Lord Jesus. 7-8 pm most Thursday evenings, blessings to you.
