<p>John 12:1-13:30 We are in the Christ Stream reading from the New American Standard Bible. 7streamsmethod.com | @serenatravis | <a href= "https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=YPPA8XGTQ2YHU">Donate</a> Commentary by Dr. Drake Travis</p> <blockquote> <div>Lord Jesus, you are worth pouring ourselves out for. You serve us so that we may serve others for your Kingdom and glory. May we be wholly yours. Amen.</div> </blockquote> <div>Just a bit of review before we proceed in John: a week ago was Jesus' last miracle found in John. Excluding Jesus' own Resurrection, these are the seven miracles that John weaves into his "story of Jesus". There are 41 total healing events that Jesus performed in his three-year ministry. John included four of these 41 in his gospel plus three nature miracles. John is employing just enough to prove who Jesus is. These are enough to inform the world that Jesus is sent from God and is The Savior of the world. Jesus is also the Master over the World. Here is how Jesus shows his mastery as described in John:</div> <div>Jn. 2 - Turning Water to Wine Jesus has mastery over quality</div> <div>Jn. 4 - Healing the Official's son Jesus has mastery over distance (the child was 20 miles away)</div> <div>Jn. 5 - Healing LameMan [38 years] Jesus has mastery over time</div> <div>Jn. 6 - Feeding Multitude Jesus has mastery over quality</div> <div>Jn. 6 - Walking ON the water Jesus has mastery over gravity</div> <div>Jn. 9 - Healing the Man born blind Jesus has mastery over misfortune [and light]</div> <div>Jn 11 - Raising Lazarus from Dead Jesus has mastery over death</div> <div>And with that, John proceeds to tell us the rest of the story. The first 11 chapters of John cover 35 months. The last 10 chapters take place during the final seven weeks of Jesus' time on earth.</div> <p>12 - After Jesus' healed Lazarus it became expedient to escape for a couple of weeks and let the hub-bub die down.
