The God of Amen
Jesus invokes divine authority before speaking. In ancient Israel's legal culture, “Amen” seals truth. Jesus puts the seal on His own words. He speaks as the source of truth!
Echoes of Covenant
Early Christian Meals, otherwise known as "Agape Feasts" echoed covenant banquets; a meal in anticipation of the Messiah Banquet (Isaiah 25).
YHWH is ...
In Christ, we are different, set apart, unique. We become "other" as we bear the image of our Father, who is "completely other".
Study Notes: Abiding in the Vine
Jesus does not say, “You can do less without me.” He says, "Apart from Me, you can do nothing." A branch detached from the vine bears no fruit.
Spirit-Empowered Skill
Bezalel was the FIRST person in Scripture recorded as being filled with the Holy Spirit. Bezalel functioned as a Spirit-filled "creator" called and anointed by YHWH.
Living Where God Dwells
Jesus invited us to abide in Him, not work harder or try better. It's an invitation to live consciously in His presence.
