    JesusX30 Challenge—Scene 16: THE REFINING FIRE
    2025/10/25
    JesusX30 Challenge—Scene 16: THE REFINING FIRE 1. Key TextsMark 7:1–30—Purity Laws, Syrophoenician WomanMatthew 15:1–28—What Defiles, Gentile Woman’s FaithMark 8:1–33—Feeding of the 4,000, Peter’s Confession, Jesus’ RebukeMatthew 16:13–26—Peter’s Confession, Call to the CrossIsaiah 29:13—“This people honors me with their lips”Deuteronomy 8:3—“Man does not live by bread alone”2. Outline / NotesDate & Place• Late summer 28 AD, northern Galilee and borderlands.• Jesus expands his campaign beyond Jewish territory—crossing into Gentile regions.Main AccountsA. Purity–Redefining Holiness• Pharisees confront Jesus about ritual handwashing.• Ritual purity had become a badge of faithfulness under foreign rule—a way to preserve Jewish identity.• Jesus quotes Isaiah 29.• He turns the purity system inside out.• “Thus Jesus declared all foods clean.”• Jesus dismantles the system that decides who has access to God based on external rules.B. The Gentile Woman – Faith Beyond Boundaries• Jesus travels north into Tyre and Sidon—Gentile territory.• A Syrophoenician woman begs for her daughter’s healing.• Jesus tests her with a hard saying: “It’s not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”• She replies, “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from the table.”• Her humility and persistence reveal profound faith.• Jesus honors her: “For this saying, your daughter is healed.”C. The Feeding of the 4,000• In the Decapolis, Jesus repeats the feeding miracle.• The symbolism: twelve (first feeding) = Israel; seven = fullness of the nations.• Even the word for “basket” (spuris) shifts from the Jewish term (kophinos) used earlier—hinting at Gentile context.• God’s table has no borders.D. The Blind Man of Bethsaida – Partial Vision, Gradual Clarity• In Jewish territory, Jesus heals a blind man in two stages.• First, partial sight: “I see people, but they look like trees walking.”• Then full sight: “He saw everything clearly.”• Disciples are like this man—seeing, still blurry in understanding.• Spiritual vision often comes in stages, not instantly.E. Peter’s Confession and the Rebuke• In Caesarea Philippi, Jesus asks, “Who do you say I am?”• Peter answers, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the Living God.”• Jesus affirms—but redefines it: “The Son of Man must suffer, be rejected, and be killed.”• Peter rebukes Jesus—he can’t accept a suffering Messiah.• Jesus responds sharply: “Get behind me, Satan.”• The temptation is the same one from the wilderness.• Jesus calls all followers to the same path: “If anyone would come after me, let them deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow me.”3. Exegetical Insight• Greek katharizō (“to make clean”) in Mark 7:19—Jesus redefines ritual purity.• “Children’s bread” (Mk 7:27) = covenant blessing; “dogs” (kynaria) = diminutive, suggesting “house dogs,” not total rejection.• “Seven baskets” (Mk 8:8) echoes Gentile inclusion—seven nations of Canaan (Deut. 7:1).• “Get behind me, Satan” (hupage opisō mou) = “fall in line again as follower.”4. Reflection Questions• What “purity systems” or boundaries still shape how you think about holiness?• Where might Jesus be asking you to cross a line—geographically, socially, or spiritually?• How do you respond when God’s call challenges your assumptions?• When have you, like Peter, said the right thing but misunderstood what it meant?• What would it mean for you to take up your cross—not symbolically, but in practice?5. Action Step / Challenge• Read Mark 7–8 slowly, paying attention to the shift to the Gentiles.• Identify one “boundary” you’ve drawn—someone or something you’ve considered “unclean.”• This week, cross it.• Pray for vision to see clearly, not just correctly.

    JesusX30 Challenge—Scene 15: THE SURGE & THE SIFTING
    2025/10/24
    JesusX30 Challenge—Scene 15: THE SURGE & THE SIFTING1. Key TextsMatthew 14:13–36—Feeding the 5,000, Walking on WaterMark 6:30–56—Feeding and Sea MiracleJohn 6:1–71—Bread of Life Discourse and Mass DefectionExodus 16—Manna in the WildernessJob 9:8—God “walks on the sea”Psalm 89:9–10—God rules the raging sea2. Outline / NotesDate & Place• Summer 28 AD, northeast side of the Sea of Galilee near Bethsaida-Julias.• Jesus and the Twelve retreat after John the Baptist’s death and their mission journey.Main AccountsA. The Feeding of the 5,000–Power and Expectation• The only miracle recorded in all four Gospels.• A crowd of thousands, hungry and exhausted, gather around Jesus.• The disciples urge him to send them away; Jesus replies, “You give them something to eat.”• To the people, this echoes Moses feeding Israel in the wilderness—God’s new Exodus seems to have begun.• The crowd tries to seize Jesus to make him king by force (Jn 6:15).• Jesus withdraws. He will not be crowned by popular demand.B. The Walking on the Water–Chaos and Confession• While Jesus prays, the disciples battle wind and waves through the night.• Around the fourth watch (3–6 a.m.), Jesus walks on the Sea toward them.• In the ancient world, the Sea symbolized chaos and death.• The Gospels use the same phrase as Job 9:8—God “walks on the sea as on dry land.”• Jesus speaks: “Take courage. I AM (egō eimi). Do not be afraid.”• Peter steps out and joins him but falters when fear takes over. Jesus lifts him up: “Why did you doubt?”• The storm ceases.• The disciples respond, “Truly, you are the Son of God.”• For the first time in Matthew, this confession comes from the disciples.C. The Bread of Life–The Sifting of the Crowd• The next day, the crowd tracks Jesus to Capernaum.• They want more bread, not more truth. Jesus exposes their motives: “You seek me because you ate your fill.”• Then he deepens the metaphor: “I am the Bread of Life.”• When he adds, “Unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood, you have no life in you,” many turn away.• His teaching forces a decision—consumer faith or covenant faith.• The crowd leaves; Jesus asks the Twelve, “Do you also want to go?”• Peter answers: “Lord, where else would we go? You have the words of eternal life.”3. Main Point• Scene 15 is the hinge of Jesus’ Galilean campaign.• The crowds surge with excitement, but Jesus sifts them with truth.• He rejects worldly kingship, redefines divine power, and reveals his identity as the true Son of God—the one who walks upon chaos and gives life through himself.4. Exegetical Insight• Greek egō eimi (“I AM”) = divine self-revelation, echoing Exodus 3:14.• Peripatōn epi tēs thalassēs (“walking on the sea”) parallels LXX Job 9:8—Jesus enacting divine authority.• “Twelve baskets” (Mt 14:20) = symbolic fullness—provision for all Israel.• “Eat my flesh and drink my blood” = covenant language of participation.• The verb anebē (“he went up the mountain”) recalls Moses and Elijah—moments of divine encounter preceding revelation.5. Reflection Questions• What kind of king do you want Jesus to be?• When has following him challenged your assumptions about success or comfort?• Are you seeking him for what he gives—or for who he is?• What storms has he called you to step into, and what fears hold you back?6. Action Step / Challenge• Read John 6 this week—note the shift from excitement to disillusionment.• Identify one way you’ve been following Jesus for “bread” rather than transformation.• Pray for courage to trust him when the crowd walks away.• Reflect on Peter’s words: “Lord, where else would we go?”Buy the books!

  • JesusX30 Challenge—Scene 14: THE COMMISSION & THE FALLEN PROPHET

    JesusX30 Challenge—Scene 14: THE COMMISSION & THE FALLEN PROPHET
    2025/10/23
    JesusX30 Challenge—Scene 14: THE COMMISSION & THE FALLEN PROPHET 1. Key TextsMatthew 10 — Commissioning of the TwelveMark 6:7–29 — Sending and the Death of John the BaptistLuke 9:1–6 — Mission InstructionsDeuteronomy 19:15 — Two WitnessesIsaiah 40:3–5 — Voice in the WildernessJohn 1:19–34 — John’s Witness to Jesus2. Outline / NotesDate & Place• Summer 28 AD — Galilee and the northern district of Ituraea.• Jesus’ public campaign is at full momentum—crowds, miracles, and tension rising.• John the Baptist is imprisoned and executed by Herod Antipas at Machaerus Fortress.• Jesus commissions the Twelve, sending them out two by two across Galilee’s towns and villages.Main AccountsA. John’s Death – The Cost of Truth• John the Baptist, Jesus’ cousin and prophetic partner, is executed by Herod Antipas.• John had publicly condemned Herod for taking his brother’s wife, Herodias—an act forbidden under Jewish law.• Power retaliates. John is silenced.• For Jesus, this is not just personal grief—it’s a signal: the prophetic mission now carries lethal risk.B. The Commission of the Twelve – The Mission Multiplies• Jesus responds not by retreating but by expanding the mission.• He sends the Twelve out two by two, giving them authority to heal, cast out demons, and proclaim the Kingdom.• “Two” ensures credibility (Deut. 19:15) and companionship for endurance.• They are told to travel light—no bag, no money, no extra tunic. Dependence is part of discipleship.• This is not about comfort or safety; it’s about trust and urgency.C. Fear and Power – Herod’s Paranoia• While the disciples go out, Herod’s court is shaken.• Rumors of miracles spread, and Herod grows fearful: “It’s John—he’s come back.”• Fear distorts perception. Power senses the threat of truth even before it faces it directly.• What the Empire tried to silence has now multiplied.D. Jesus’ Strategy – Multiply, Don’t Retreat• John’s death marks the end of innocence in the campaign.• The movement is now both popular and persecuted.• Jesus meets violence not with vengeance but with multiplication.• Instead of hiding, he trains, empowers, and releases others.3. Main Point• Scene 14 is the moment when mission meets cost.• John’s death reveals that prophetic truth will provoke violent resistance.• Jesus’ response is not fear but multiplication—sending disciples as ambassadors of God’s Kingdom.4. Exegetical Insight• “Two by two” mirrors legal witness (Deut 19:15) and emphasizes communal mission, not solo heroism.• “Sheep among wolves” (Mt 10:16) evokes prophetic vulnerability, echoing Isaiah’s Servant Songs.• Herod Antipas’ fear (Mk 6:16) shows conscience as a theological theme—power haunted by its own injustice.• The verb “send” (apostellō) becomes the root of “apostle”—one commissioned, not merely called.• John’s death foreshadows Jesus’ own: the fate of the prophet becomes the pattern for the Messiah.5. Reflection Questions• How do you respond when faith becomes costly or inconvenient?• What would it mean for you to live “sent”—to carry the Kingdom into your everyday world?• Where might you be tempted to stay silent when truth demands a voice?• How does John’s courage and Jesus’ commissioning challenge your picture of discipleship?6. Action Step / Challenge• Read Matthew 10 this week. Identify one instruction Jesus gives his disciples that stretches you personally.• Pray about how to embody that in your own setting—workplace, home, or community.• Partner with another believer this week (“two by two”) to serve, pray, or witness in a tangible way.
