The Gospel Of John (Week 179) John 13:31-32

by Mike Haddorff

Verses 32-32 of chapter 13 occur immediately after Judas leaves the twelve. The departure of a known, trusted and valued team member who, in this case, is about to betray the master, who’s intentions are fully known by the master, but yet allowed to continue by the master, is absolutely riveting, demanding the readers full […]

The Gospel Of John (Week 178) John 13:27-30

by Mike Haddorff

As a reader, we arrive here at verse 27 of chapter 13, blasted with the rawness of what is about to transpire in the next 24 hours. Jesus knows, we know, the disciples don’t know and Judas thinks he knows. This is an emotionally charged section: the nature of evil in direct conflict with relentless […]

The Gospel Of John (Week 177) John 13:21-26

by Mike Haddorff

Jesus reveals that betrayal is about to occur and the betrayer is one of those who is present. His statement stuns the disciples. As they grope towards recovery the joint question becomes, “who is it?” Through interesting detail Jesus is asked this question. He responds with first a verbal explanation then an action demonstrating a […]

The Gospel Of John (Week 176) John 13:18-20

by Mike Haddorff

In session 176 after Jesus re-assumes his place among the group, He begins to focus the group attention onto what is about to occur. Betrayal is about to happen. His opening comment is suggestive that the betrayal will occur by one who is very close. He then turns His wording toward preparing the disciples. He […]

The Gospel Of John (Week 175) John 13:12-17

by Mike Haddorff

Session 175 brings us to the interpretation of the act Jesus just performed for His disciples. What He just did for His disciples Jesus invites His disciples to do the same for each other. This service is to be free of self need. In so doing the disciples are promised benefit. The irony in this […]

The Gospel Of John (Week 174) John 13:6-11

by Mike Haddorff

In session 174 we find ourselves observing the conversation between Jesus and Peter as Peter is about to receive. Peter is in a state of discomfort. The interaction between the two supports this idea. Here, Peter represents what we humans think when we are placed in a place to receive. Because Peter is more verbal […]

The Gospel Of John (Week 171) John 12:49-50

by Mike Haddorff

In session 171 we close out our study of the public ministry of Jesus. At this point it is appropriate to stop and reflect on what we have seen and how this has bearing on what we see next. Here, at the close of chapter 12 Jesus states clearly the father’s intent. Jesus has imitated […]

The Gospel Of John (Week 170) John 12:44-50

by Mike Haddorff

In this session we wrap up chapter 12 through examining Jesus’s emotionally charged cry. His cry inserted at this place by John comes at the end of His public ministry just prior the events recorded within the upper room. Thanks for joining in as the Moot Men examine this heartfelt message and it’s relevancy to […]

The Gospel Of John (Week 169) John 12:36B-43

by Mike Haddorff

In Session 169 the Moot Men examine John’s explanation to his first century readers why the pushback in regard to the person of Jesus. This in itself was a big question in the new and forming church. The quandary revolved around the idea that if Jesus was the Christ then why the mixed response. Here, […]

The Gospel Of John (Week 168) John 12:34-36A

by Mike Haddorff

Session 168 lies close to home because it exemplifies the realm of theological belief. A biblically based, well meaning group approach Jesus with their astute theological observation followed by a question. This is the realm which I too have dwelled within for the better part of my christian journey. I think this realm is important […]

by Mike Haddorff

In session 167 we examine some fascinating Jesus statements. He acknowledges a troubled soul. We discuss John’s purposes in placing this statement here. We talk about what it means for God to be glorified. And finally we talk about the gavel of judgement in regard to the ruler of this world. There is quite a […]

The Gospel Of John (Week 166) John 12:20-26

by Mike Haddorff

In session 166 we continue with Jesus’s core teaching regarding discipleship. There are three aspects within His progression of thought. He begins with the general idea, what the audience can understand and relate to through their normal everyday experience. He then relates this generally understood idea to how to live one’s life as His follower. […]

The Gospel Of John (Week 165) John 12:20-26

by Mike Haddorff

In session 165 we begin to analyze one of Jesus’s core teaching regarding discipleship. You and I have heard this expressed many times. This idea is adopted and expressed throughout the New Testament. His teaching falls directly on the heels of perceived outsiders requesting to see Jesus. This too is core to what John was […]

by Mike Haddorff

In session 164B the Moot Men continue to examine the four responses of people in regard to raising Lazarus from the dead. As John communicated to his first century audience, there are at least four responses to a single event. More closely, there are numerous responses to the person of Jesus. People see what they […]

by Mike Haddorff

In session 164A the Moot Men began to discuss four responses to the person of Jesus. When we arrived at response two one our group cited an important distinction which captured our attention in regard to the matter of faith. As a group we dwelled around this idea for the remainder of our time together, […]

The Gospel OfJohn (Week 163) John 12:12-15

by Mike Haddorff

In session 163 we look at what is known as the triumphal entry. As many readers are aware, what exists in the mind of the crowd is far different from what will actually occur during the course of the coming week. Jesus receives the crowd’s words and actions as one who is arriving as a […]

by Mike Haddorff

In session 162 we examine two groups of people. The first are seeking to see. The second claim they see clearly. However, and as we have discussed prior, what one sees has much to do with what one brings to the occasion. In this session we are invited into observing just how absurd one’s perception […]

The Gospel Of John (Week 161) John 12:7-8

by Mike Haddorff

In this session we look at how Jesus responds to Judas’s rebuttal in regard to Mary’s act of anointing. What we discover is a very different intent and use of His directive to “Leave her alone.” Through observation we start to understand what Jesus is inviting His followers into and some of the how in […]
