Last Will & Testament: The Last Apostle | John 15:18-16:4Sample

“Blessed are you when people persecute you.” That’s what Jesus said (Matthew 5:10-11). It doesn’t sound very much like a blessing to me. But Jesus says it is. Why? And what hope, strength, and blessing can you find in God when it happens? Look at this passage in Matthew. What temptation is there when the world hates us? How does Jesus tell us to respond?

About this Plan

Near the end of his life, John was the last of the living apostles and wrote a story about Jesus. It’s his testimony of who Jesus is, what he said, what he did, and who he claimed to be. Jesus has a story. He invites us to make it our story. When we make Jesus’s story our story, we have life in his name. This plan focuses on Jesus’s final moments and words with his disciples, preparing them for his crucifixion to come. It is Jesus’s last will & testament. This plan focuses on the second half of Jesus's words in John 15 and is part of an ongoing series.
