Gospel of John (pt. 1)Gospel of John - A Mystical Text?In this lesson, we embark on the first installment of our upcoming series, where we delve into the Gospel of John from a mystical perspective. The Gospel of John, often regarded as a mystical text, can be a source of confusion for many. In this session, our aim is to shed light on various aspects of Jewish mysticism and how they harmonize seamlessly with the Gospel of John. Mystics are captivated by the essence of reality and often seek to perceive, with the mind, the mysteries beyond our ordinary sight. During this session, we will explore specific Bible verses that are central to mystical contemplation. These verses often revolve around moments in the Bible where the barrier separating humanity from God is momentarily lifted. One such example is found in Ezekiel's first of two visions, as described in Ezekiel chapter One. The story commences with the heavens opening up, leading to a remarkable vision of the divine likeness on the throne—a likeness resembling a human form. This apparent paradox raises intriguing questions: How can the formless God possess an image resembling a man? Join us as we embark on a journey to demystify the mystical and reveal how John's Gospel communicates the profound message of who Jesus truly is.

Parable of the Ten Minas: a Relationship or Fear or Love?The Parable of the Minas is a complex parable that even includes reference to a historical event involving Herod Archelaus. With this parable, Jesus calls us to live with the highest level of responsibility towards the resources that have been given to us. God is a good King who wants us to take risks to expand his kingdom. If the wicked king rewards the servant who takes risks, how much more will a good King reward us for trying!
