Reflecting on Johns Gospel

I dont have all the reuired materials for this assignment if you could just do your best it would be greatly appreciated!!!

In your weekly course journal, you will reflect on prompts and consider what it may look like to reflect a Christian worldview within John. Keep in mind that this is an opportunity to reflect on your growth and understanding and perhaps consider course concepts a bit differently than you have before.

In 2 double-spaced pages, consider Johns Gospel from a biblical perspective. Choose 2 “threads” of integrating a Christian worldview to write about from the list of options below. Clearly identify which 2 threads you have chosen. Be sure to explain what your chosen threads might look like in theory and practice. Try to use all threads by the end of the course.

Biblical Integration “Threads” (choose 2):

God-Worshiping: The Christian worldview understands that worshiping God is about celebrating who God is, what God has done and is doing, and what God has created. Christians see worship as a way of life.
Idolatry-Discerning: The Christian worldview understands that when other “things” are more important to us than our relationship with God, they become idols. Christians are challenged to identify, understand, and discern the idols of our time and to then respond prophetically.
Earth-Keeping: Christians respond to God’s call to be stewards of all of creation.
Beauty-Creating: The Christian worldview celebrates God as the #1 Creator and understands that when we create things we show that we are made in God’s image. We offer praise to God by creating beautiful things. Our creativity makes God smile!
Justice-Seeking: Christians act as agents of change by identifying and responding to injustices.
Creation-Enjoying: The Christian worldview celebrates God’s beautiful creation.
Servant-Working: The Christian worldview works actively to heal brokenness and bring joy.
Community-Building: Christians should be active pursuers and builders of communal shalom.
Image-Reflecting: Christians bear the image of God in their daily lives. All humans are image reflectors.
Order-Discovering: Christians find harmony and order in God’s creation.

John 1321

I dont have all the required materials for this assignment if you can just do your best it would be greatly appreciated!!!

Next, we will explore John 1321.

Read and watch the following resources in order to better understand the second portion of John’s Gospel:

John 1321
Strauss, Four Portraits, One Jesus, pages 386393
Green, Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels, “Lamb of God (Links to an external site.)”
Green, Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels, “I Am Sayings (Links to an external site.)”
Green, Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels, “Farewell Discourse (Links to an external site.)”

Begin by reviewing all that you have learned from John’s Gospel in these last 2 weeks.

Then, create a Fab 5 list of the concepts that you believe are the most important from John’s Gospel. You may follow a simple list structure for each Fab 5. Summarize the concepts in your own words. You need to have 23 sentences per item describing the concept and why it is valuable.

Hypothetical Interview with John

I dont have all the required materials for this assignment if you can just do your best it would be greatly appreciated!!!

The purpose of this assignment series is to identify the particular and distinctive contributions of John’s Gospel. To accomplish this, you will create an imaginary interview with John, and while some of the questions are provided below, you will provide what you think their answers would be according to John.

Below are the questions you must ask John:

What motivated you to write your Gospel?
What credentials do you have in writing this Gospel?
Since Matthew, Luke, and John also wrote Gospels, what do you offer in your Gospel as a distinctive contribution?
What do you hope that readers of your Gospel especially understand and apply after reading your Gospel?
In 10 words or less, explain your portrait of Christ. In other words, state what one learns about Jesus in your Gospel in a way that that is especially unique to your Gospel.
Ensure you have answered the questions above. Then create an additional 5 questions and answer them according to what you believe John would have said.

Current Events as They Relate to Johns Gospel

I dont have all the reqired materials for this assignment if you could just do your best it would be greatly appreciated.

As Christians, we have a responsibility to view the world and its circumstances the way Jesus would. There is much in our society and the world as a whole that can sharpen our minds and our philosophies when it comes to this discipline. Applying the Gospel to what is happening around you is important in developing your biblical worldview.

Begin by finding a reputable article about a current event that has occurred in the past year that displays similarity and disparity with John’s Gospel, its narrations, themes or purpose. Read the article and consider how it connects to what we have been learning in John’s Gospel.

Then, in a 1- to 2-page, double-spaced reaction, complete the following:

Provide the link to your article.
Write a brief paragraph summary of the story in your own words.
Share how you think this article displays similarity or disparity with John’s Gospel.
Describe how this article fits or diverges from what we have been learning in the class.
Draw a biblical connection to your article. This can be in the form of specific Scripture in John, or 1 of its narrations, themes, or purpose.
