THE GOSPEL IN MINIATURE
John 3:1-18
Bible Study with Dr. Thomas Q. Robbins
Week of January 22-28, 2012
We now live in a culture where everyone in your immediate and extended family will be confronted in someway by people of other religions and philosophies that border on religious belief.
When questioned about your faith, using John 3:16 in your answer is the finest and most powerful answer you could respond with.
To help us dissect the meaning of this verse, our teacher, Dr. Thomas Q. Robbins, segments this simple but powerful verse into seven sections or aspects to make it easer to understand and apply to our own life before we are equipped to share it with others…. And you will be ready.
There are a few verses of scripture that any follower of Jesus Christ holds dear and is ready to recite at a moment’s notice. Of all the scriptures you can know, chances are that John 3:16 is the most familiar to you and the one you can immediately recall.
Martin Luther called it “the gospel of Jesus Christ in Miniature. In the lesson today Dr. Thomas Q. Robbins would like us to join him in examining why John 3:16 had been called the gospel in miniature. And the reason for exploring the verse in this was is so that you will be equipped to understand our own faith better and, when the opportunity comes, to be better able to explain the gospel and your faith to someone else.
Our lesson, “The Gospel of Jesus Christ In Miniature, is based on John Chapter 3 and verses 1-18. Have a pen or pencil ready to write down the seven aspects of this wonderful verse.
