the Jewish tradition of the folded napkin means I’m coming back, not I’m finished. the wadded napkin means I’m finished.. praiseGod, Our Lord is coming back for us.
My note on this chapter was not as deep as you have narrated it. Thank you for going into the history of how things were done in the biblical time and linking them to scriptures, which gives this chapter more depth. I loved that Jesus honoured Mary (I believed she worked behind the scenes), her devotion to His ministry. It shows that He appreciates everyone's contribution. I just find it amazing and fascinating the love He had for us that made Him physically come to the earth to teach us Himself. This chapter remains me of the song "Excess Love" and that we are undeserving of His love, but He gave it anyway. I love You, Jesus Christ, Son of God and thank You for directing me to Pastor Skip's Channel.
4/24/17: Love the thorough way this pastor explains the scriptures. GOD bless you, Skip, love you dearly, my brother. Lord, touch the lives of all who hear and OBEY YOUR words. Thank you, GOD for JESUS CHRIST.
Thoroughly enjoyed the teaching on the Gospel of John during this season of COVID-19. I pray the Word will give comfort to all who hear. Thank you Pastor Skip for teaching the Word continuously. God bless!
I love the fact that Jesus says "Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." I look forward to the last chapter in John under your teaching!
Skip, I can't thank you enough for the wonderful way you "completely" explained John the 20th chapter. My pastor delivered the sermon on John 20 on Sunday, April 21, 2019 (Easter) but because as I sat in the service feeling really ill, the enemy blocked my comprehension. But, praise be to God, I came on TH-cam looking for an instructional message on chapter 20 and God directed me to you! What a blessing. I also have subscribed to your channel as not to miss any of your future teachings/explanations. God bless you and keep you, your family and church family is my earnest prayer!
Jesus rose on Nisan 17. First fruits. He said don’t touch me I have to go to the father. Later the same day he allows them to touch him. He went to heaven to the holy of holies and placed his blood on the real mercy seat. Then he returned to earth. And met them later the same day
I must admit that I love the way you teach the Bible and as I go through some difficulties this year, your teaching has given me comforted and trusting. I learn a lot from your teaching, but I think there are some misunderstandings which I hi-lighted in my previous comments. However, I think you already know what I stated it there, but may have different belief or understanding. Yet, that is the biblical view.
Jesus said touch me not, He did not say cling. The verse never said she ran into his arms. I believe the Lord knew Mary well. She had the love for Jesus. so automatically she would want to touch him. He knew Mary's thoughts.
Tammy Hollandsworth The Greek Word translated “touch” literally means “cling”. Sometimes the KJV scholars didn’t choose the absolute best word to convey the Greek’s full meaning. Jesus said “cling not to me”but the KJV translators wrote “touch me not”. Both are accurate, but cling not to me is the most accurate.
Regardless of whether Jesus said 'touch me not' or 'cling to me not', why would Mary take hold of Jesus' feet (Matthew 28:9) after just being told by Jesus not to touch or cling to him?
Love this chapter, n may God contenue to bless you Pastor in your ministry, but, can anyone shows me in scriptures, (NO DISRESPECT TO Any1) that God change his Sabbath from the 7thday to the first day of the week?
Taniela, Hi I am Pastor Dr. N.Walker here at Calvary Church and I am going to answer your question today. God didn’t change the Sabbath. The Sabbath always has been and always will be the seventh day of the week - Saturday. However, I do not think that this was the intent of the question. I think the intent of the question was more: "What day is the Sabbath, Saturday or Sunday? Do Christians have to observe the Sabbath day?" An excellent response to that question is given by the scholars writing for GotQuestions.org Specific - www.gotquestions.org/search.php?zoom_query=sabbath www.gotquestions.org/Saturday-Sunday.html Answer: It is often claimed that “God instituted the Sabbath in Eden” because of the connection between the Sabbath and creation in Exodus 20:11. Although God's rest on the seventh day (Genesis 2:3) did foreshadow a future Sabbath law, there is no biblical record of the Sabbath before the children of Israel left the land of Egypt. Nowhere in Scripture is there any hint that Sabbath-keeping was practiced from Adam to Moses. The Word of God makes it quite clear that Sabbath observance was a special sign between God and Israel: “The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath, celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant. It will be a sign between me and the Israelites forever, for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he abstained from work and rested” (Exodus 31:16-17). In Deuteronomy 5, Moses restates the Ten Commandments to the next generation of Israelites. Here, after commanding Sabbath observance in verses 12-14, Moses gives the reason the Sabbath was given to the nation Israel: “Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the Lord your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. Therefore the Lord your God has commanded you to observe the Sabbath day” (Deuteronomy 5:15). God's intent for giving the Sabbath to Israel was not that they would remember creation, but that they would remember their Egyptian slavery and the Lord's deliverance. Note the requirements for Sabbath-keeping: A person placed under that Sabbath law could not leave his home on the Sabbath (Exodus 16:29), he could not build a fire (Exodus 35:3), and he could not cause anyone else to work (Deuteronomy 5:14). A person breaking the Sabbath law was to be put to death (Exodus 31:15; Numbers 15:32-35). An examination of New Testament passages shows us four important points: 1) Whenever Christ appears in His resurrected form and the day is mentioned, it is always the first day of the week (Matthew 28:1, 9, 10; Mark 16:9; Luke 24:1, 13, 15; John 20:19, 26). 2) The only times the Sabbath is mentioned from Acts through Revelation, the occasion is Jewish evangelism, and the setting is usually a synagogue (Acts chapters 13-18). Paul wrote, “To the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews” (1 Corinthians 9:20). Paul did not go to the synagogue to fellowship with and edify the saints, but to convict and save the lost. 3) After Paul states, “From now on I will go to the Gentiles” (Acts 18:6), the Sabbath is never again mentioned. And 4) instead of suggesting adherence to the Sabbath day, the remainder of the New Testament implies the opposite (including the one exception to point 3, above, found in Colossians 2:16). Looking more closely at point 4 above will reveal that there is no obligation for the New Testament believer to keep the Sabbath, and will also show that the idea of a Sunday “Christian Sabbath” is also unscriptural. As discussed above, there is one time the Sabbath is mentioned after Paul began to focus on the Gentiles, “Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ” (Colossians 2:16-17). The Jewish Sabbath was abolished at the cross where Christ “canceled the written code, with its regulations” (Colossians 2:14). This idea is repeated more than once in the New Testament: “One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. He who regards one day as special, does so to the Lord” (Romans 14:5-6a). “But now that you know God - or rather are known by God - how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable principles? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again? You are observing special days and months and seasons and years” (Galatians 4:9-10). But some claim that a mandate by Constantine in A.D. 321 “changed” the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday. On what day did the early church meet for worship? Scripture never mentions any Sabbath (Saturday) gatherings by believers for fellowship or worship. However, there are clear passages that mention the first day of the week. For instance, Acts 20:7 states that “on the first day of the week we came together to break bread.” In 1 Corinthians 16:2 Paul urges the Corinthian believers “on the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with his income.” Since Paul designates this offering as “service” in 2 Corinthians 9:12, this collection must have been linked with the Sunday worship service of the Christian assembly. Historically Sunday, not Saturday, was the normal meeting day for Christians in the church, and its practice dates back to the first century. The Sabbath was given to Israel, not the church. The Sabbath is still Saturday, not Sunday, and has never been changed. But the Sabbath is part of the Old Testament Law, and Christians are free from the bondage of the Law (Galatians 4:1-26; Romans 6:14). Sabbath keeping is not required of the Christian-be it Saturday or Sunday. The first day of the week, Sunday, the Lord's Day (Revelation 1:10) celebrates the New Creation, with Christ as our resurrected Head. We are not obligated to follow the Mosaic Sabbath-resting, but are now free to follow the risen Christ-serving. The Apostle Paul said that each individual Christian should decide whether to observe a Sabbath rest, “One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind” (Romans 14:5). We are to worship God every day, not just on Saturday or Sunday.

It really has been a blessing. Can you please explain verse 7, all the researchers about the napkin folding refers to the Lord x servant at the table, if he folds he was coming back ....really whant to understand it...God bless you all!
IF JESUS SAYS I ASCENT TO "MY FATHER N UR FATHER TO MY GOD N UR GOD". WHY IS JESUS DIFFERENT AS A SON FROM ME? AND IF JESUS IS GOD THAN WHICH OTHER GOD IS IS HE REFERRING TO? DOES A GOD HAVE A GOD?
The Disciples did not keep Sunday as a day of worship. Acts 20 is talking about a late speech Paul was giving on Sabbath afternoon (Saturday) and it prolongs onto late of the evening. And, the reason it states the first day of the week because when God created time, He created an evening and a morning, and it was the first day and so on. Sunday worship did not exist until Constantin, that is the Emperor converted to Christianity and decreed that the Sabbath should no longer be the day of Worship and replace it by Sunday.( March 7, 321). Isaiah 66:23 implies that Sabbath is going to be the day of worship on the new earth. Read Isaiah and Genesis 1 and 2.

It's funny
How can the folded napkin symbolize Jesus never coming back at 28:30, because Jesus is coming back…
the folded napkin in Jewish tradition means I’m coming back.
