First Principles Of The Oracles Of God Lesson 6 The Authority of The Apostles There are some who contend we only need the words of Jesus (the “red letter” followers). Yes, we need His words, but we also need the truths taught by His apostles. Jesus always taught truth, but we need to understand He didn’t personally teach all the truth during His 3-year ministry while He was on the earth. � Jesus didn’t personally tell the apostles everything (Jn. 16:12) - why not? � how was this “deficiency” later resolved? - Jn. 14:25-26 - Jn. 15:26 - Jn. 16:7-11, 13 - Jn. 17:8, 14 � what later “process” was Jesus referencing? (1 Cor. 2:1-13) � what should result from this “process”? (Eph. 3:1-5) - how does this relate to our previous lesson on the 2 covenants? Questions 1. Using each passage below, be prepared to discuss how the authority of Jesus is emphasized based on the different ways He is portrayed in the Scripture a. Mt. 17:1-5; Heb. 1:2 b. Heb. 9:15-17 c. Acts 2:29-36 (cp. 2 Sam. 7:16; Lk. 1:30-33) d. Eph. 1:22-23; Col. 1:18 26
First Principles Of The Oracles Of God Lesson 6 2. How did the people view Jesus’ teaching? (Mt. 7:28-29) How did it compare with the teachings of the scribes and Pharisees? (Mt. 15:1-9) 3. After His earthly work was finished, what “summary statement” did Jesus make? (Mt. 28:18) 4. What does it mean to reject the apostles of Jesus? (Lk. 10:16; cp. 1 Cor. 14:37; 1 Thess. 2:13) 5. Using each passage below, be prepared to discuss how the authority of the Lord’s chosen apostles is emphasized based on the different ways they are portrayed in the Scripture. a. 2 Cor. 5:18-20 b. Mt. 19:28; Lk. 22:30 Notice how do the apostles “judge” on their “thrones” - - Paul personally spent 3 Sabbaths in Thessalonica (Acts 17:2) - yet he found it necessary to correct problems concerning the 2 nd coming of Christ and dealing with unruly members in the church - how did he handle these problems? - Paul personally spent 18 months in Corinth (Acts 18:11) - yet he had to “judge” the Corinthian brethren on - tolerating fornicators - abusing the Lord’s Supper - taking brethren to court - misusing their spiritual gifts - eating meat offered to idols - denying the resurrection - how did he handle these problems? c. Mt. 16:19; 18:18 (cp. Acts 14:27) 27
