Comments on: Farewell to John http://drjeffadams.com/2008/05/18/farewell-to-john/ Hi! This is my chance to chat with you about anything that pops into my mind. That means it is usually unedited and unpolished, just like conversations with friends ought to be. So, grab a cup of coffee or tea and let's talk!

I really enjoyed how you transported the listener back to the first century to imagine what it would be like to be "covered in Jesus' dust." This series was a catalyst in my own spiritual life to know Christ more intimately and to make Him known. Some thoughts that really stood out are: Nathanael under "the" fig tree and its relation to Jacob's ladder with Christ being the fulfillment, Jesus zeal (passion) in cleansing the temple and how it caused estrangement with his half-brothers, believing is seeing, the symbolism of water in the feast of tabernacles and how Jesus interpreted the ceremony and announced its fulfillment with "If any man thirst...", Jesus as the Messianic image of the Shepherd, when people see the reality of our walk with God - no matter what we face in life - then He is glorified, imagining Jesus praying as He walks through the streets toward Gethsemane, the irony that Barabbas' name means "son of the father," and many, many more... One final thought that really blessed me. I have been praying for some time about the mission field. Last week's sermon "Now What?" was a real blessing... "Do what you know to do until He very clearly leads you to something else." Thanks Jeff for the wonderful messages!
