What Jesus Said About The End And What He Said To Do Instead | What Jesus Said Part 6

What did Jesus say about the end of the world? In Part 6 of What Jesus Said, we look carefully and honestly at the Olivet Discourse — Matthew 24 and 25 — the most detailed teaching Jesus gave about what is coming, and the most misused passage in the New Testament. Jesus named signs: wars and rumors of wars, nation against nation, famines, earthquakes. But He named them with a specific caution — see that you are not troubled, for all this must happen, but the end is not yet. The one condition He tied most specifically to the end coming is not a geopolitical event — it is this Good News of the Kingdom being preached in the whole world to all nations. And then the statement that should end all date-setting: about that day and hour, no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father only. Every prediction based on signs has been wrong. Every date has passed. Jesus said to be ready — not because the timing can be calculated, but precisely because it cannot. The Olivet Discourse ends not with a timeline but with the sheep and the goats — where the criterion of separation is not doctrinal precision but how people treated the hungry, the thirsty, the stranger, the imprisoned. When did we see you, Lord? Most certainly I tell you, because you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me. The life that is ready for His coming is not the one that has calculated the signs. It is the one that has been serving the least while waiting. 📖 Scripture from the World English Bible (WEB) 📺 Part 6 of 7 — What Jesus Said 📺 https://www.youtube.com/@BibleChapterByChapterStudy [https://www.youtube.com/@BibleChapterByChapterStudy] 🎧 https://open.spotify.com/show/6MnjQf5YAsxCAhha7jCSGD [https://open.spotify.com/show/6MnjQf5YAsxCAhha7jCSGD] 🌐 www.biblechapterbychapter.com [http://www.biblechapterbychapter.com] #OlivetDiscourse #EndTimes #WhatJesusSaid #NoOneKnowsTheDayOrHour #BibleStudy #BibleChapterByChapter #SheepAndGoats

What Jesus Said About The I AM Statements

Seven times in the Gospel of John, Jesus said I AM — attaching to it a description of who He is. In Part 5 of What Jesus Said, we look at all seven, and at the significance of the phrase itself. When God spoke to Moses from the burning bush, He said: I AM WHO I AM. Tell them I AM sent you. That name — so sacred that most Jews would not say it aloud — is what Jesus used to describe Himself. Seven times.I am the bread of life — for the hunger that food cannot permanently satisfy. I am the light of the world — the one who makes the darkness navigable. I am the good shepherd — who lays down his life for the sheep, not the hired hand who flees. I am the resurrection and the life — said to a grieving woman at her brother's tomb. I am the way, the truth, and the life — no one comes to the Father except through me — the most exclusive and most debated claim in the Gospel. I am the true vine — apart from me you can do nothing. And the claim that made people pick up stones: before Abraham was born, I am.Each statement addresses a universal human need. Each one places that need in the same person. Whether the claim is true is the most important question anyone can ask.📖 Scripture from the World English Bible (WEB)📺 Part 5 of 7 — What Jesus Said📺 https://www.youtube.com/@BibleChapterByChapterStudy🎧 https://open.spotify.com/show/6MnjQf5YAsxCAhha7jCSGD🌐 www.biblechapterbychapter.com#IAMStatements #JohnGospel #WhatJesusSaid #IAmTheWay #BibleStudy #BibleChapterByChapter #Jesus

What Jesus Said About Prayer

What Jesus Said About Prayer — Including The One He Prayed While Being Crucified | What Jesus Said Part 4What did Jesus say about prayer — and what did His own prayer life reveal about what prayer actually is? In Part 4 of What Jesus Said, we look at the Lord's Prayer as a shape rather than a formula, the parable of the persistent widow and why Jesus told it, the prayer in Gethsemane where He asked for the cup to pass and it didn't, the High Priestly Prayer of John 17 where He prayed specifically for everyone who would believe through His disciples' testimony, and the prayer from the cross: Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing.That last prayer — prayed while being crucified, for the people driving the nails — is the most complete expression in the entire Gospels of everything Jesus taught in the Sermon on the Mount. Love your enemies. Pray for those who persecute you. He was doing it while they persecuted Him.📖 Scripture from the World English Bible (WEB)📺 Part 4 of 7 — What Jesus Said📺 https://www.youtube.com/@BibleChapterByChapterStudy🎧 https://open.spotify.com/show/6MnjQf5YAsxCAhha7jCSGD🌐 www.biblechapterbychapter.com#WhatJesusSaidAboutPrayer #JesusPrayer #Gethsemane #FatherForgiveThem #WhatJesusSaid #BibleStudy #BibleChapterByChapter

The Parables Of Jesus Explained — The Sower, The Prodigal Son, And What The Kingdom Of God Is Actually Like | What Jesus Said Part 3

Why did Jesus teach in parables? In Part 3 of What Jesus Said, we look at four of the most significant parables Jesus told — and discover that they are not simpler ways of saying complicated things. They are a different kind of communication entirely, giving understanding to the person who is genuinely looking. The parable of the sower — four soils, four responses to the word, and an invitation to honest self-examination about which one currently describes you. The mustard seed and the yeast — both describing a Kingdom that begins invisibly small and transforms everything it enters, working from the inside until the transformation is undeniable. The lost sheep — the shepherd leaving the ninety-nine to go after the one, and carrying it home on his shoulders rejoicing. And the prodigal son — the most celebrated story Jesus ever told, mislabeled, because the central character is not the son but the father who sees him while he is still far off and runs. In a culture where dignity was everything, where a man of means did not run in public, the father runs. Before the apology is finished. Before the conditions are met. Before the son has proven that he has changed. The father runs. That image is the center of everything Jesus taught about what God is like. 📖 Scripture from the World English Bible (WEB) 📺 Part 3 of 7 — What Jesus Said 📺 https://www.youtube.com/@BibleChapterByChapterStudy [https://www.youtube.com/@BibleChapterByChapterStudy] 🎧 https://open.spotify.com/show/6MnjQf5YAsxCAhha7jCSGD [https://open.spotify.com/show/6MnjQf5YAsxCAhha7jCSGD] 🌐 www.biblechapterbychapter.com [http://www.biblechapterbychapter.com] #ParablesOfJesus #ProdigalSon #WhatJesusSaid #Jesus #BibleStudy #BibleChapterByChapter #KingdomOfGod

What Did Jesus Say About Eternal Life? It's More Personal Than You Expect | What Jesus Said Part 2

What did Jesus actually say about eternal life? In Part 2 of What Jesus Said, we look carefully at the most significant statements Jesus made about life after death — and discover that His answer is more personal, and more immediate, than most people expect. John 3:16 is the most quoted verse in the Bible — but what does it actually claim? We look at the three things in it that most people read past: the scope (the world, not just the faithful), the mechanism (belief, not achievement), and the purpose (not judgment but rescue). Then the verse that defines what eternal life actually is — John 17:3, where Jesus himself says: this is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God. Not know about. Know. Deep, personal, relational knowledge of God — beginning now, continuing past death. Then John 5:24, where Jesus says the person who believes has already passed out of death into life — past tense, already done. And the most extraordinary statement of all: I am the resurrection and the life, said to a grieving woman whose brother had just died. Not I will produce the resurrection. I am the resurrection. The life that does not end is not an event Jesus will cause — it is a reality He embodies. And John 10:10: I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly. Do you believe this? That's the question Jesus asked Martha. It's the question this episode leaves with you. 📖 Scripture from the World English Bible (WEB) 📺 Part 2 of 7 — What Jesus Said 📺 https://www.youtube.com/@BibleChapterByChapterStudy [https://www.youtube.com/@BibleChapterByChapterStudy] 🎧 https://open.spotify.com/show/6MnjQf5YAsxCAhha7jCSGD [https://open.spotify.com/show/6MnjQf5YAsxCAhha7jCSGD] 🌐 www.biblechapterbychapter.com [http://www.biblechapterbychapter.com] #EternalLife #WhatJesusSaid #Jesus #John316 #BibleStudy #BibleChapterByChapter #IAmTheResurrection
