Dr. J. Vernon McGee

John 12:1-24

April 1, 2022

How do you accept that someone you love is going to die? When others were enjoying Jesus’ fellowship, Mary accepted the difficult truth that Jesus had come to Jerusalem to die. In an extravagant expression of worship, she anoints Him with oil. Sit with those who love Jesus most in some of His last days of ministry.

Get ready to fight the good fight against legalism in Galatians. When this letter was written, it defended the gospel of Christ from people who wanted to reduce it to rules. Not surprising, Galatians has provided the backbone for several great spiritual revivals around the world. Freedom, we learn, is a serious fight.

When Jesus hears that His close friend Lazarus is sick and his sisters plead with Him to come heal Lazarus, Jesus intentionally stays where He is a couple days longer. Is Jesus being cruel? Find out in this great study in John 11.

John 10 paints one of the most tender pictures of Jesus as our Shepherd, and the Lamb, and the sheepfold door. Jesus knows His sheep and they know Him—and to know Him is to love Him. Come learn more about the Shepherd of your soul.

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” In John 10, we see Psalm 23 in rich color as we hear from the Great Shepherd Himself how He knows His sheep by name and promises to provide and protect us. See the beautiful picture of Jesus and His sheep in this powerful passage.

Blindness—physical, as well as spiritual blindness—is a horrible condition. Jesus healed both kinds of blindness. But the one who sees yet rejects Jesus Christ as Savior has the worst kind of blindness of all.

Did you know only the Spirit of God can open your eyes to the truth of God’s Word? Without Jesus’ light, we are all blind.

Come listen to God’s Word and hear a simple and honest testimony of how God changes our lives.

“You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Did you know Jesus said this while He debated with the religious leaders about who He was and how they could have eternal life?

The religious rulers thought if they couldn’t out-argue Jesus, then they would trap Him. When they brought forward a woman caught in adultery, they really didn’t want to stone her, they wanted to stone Jesus for breaking Moses’ Law. But once again, Jesus knew people’s hearts, and whatever He wrote in the sand sent them all away speechless. Witness Jesus outsmart the smartest.

A storm is brewing over Jerusalem and the first century world is hostile towards Jesus. Why? Because He’s upending the traditional ways people thought they could save themselves. And nobody likes to have their sin pointed out. Pay close attention to how Jesus divides those who will believe and those who will be condemned.

In many ways, the recent events in our study in John have drawn a line in the sand. Will you follow the Lord or turn away? When Jesus asked Peter which he would do, he said, “Where would we go? You have the words of eternal life.” Jesus was on His Father’s schedule as every step led to the Cross. But He would go in His own time and in His own way.

About Dr. J. Vernon McGee

John Vernon McGee was born in Hillsboro, Texas, in 1904. Dr. McGee remarked, "When I was born and the doctor gave me the customary whack, my mother said that I let out a yell that could be heard on all four borders of Texas!" His Creator well knew that he would need a powerful voice to deliver a powerful message.

After completing his education (including a Th.M. and Th.D. from Dallas Theological Seminary), he and his wife came west, settling in Pasadena, California. Dr. McGee's greatest pastorate was at the historic Church of the Open Door in downtown Los Angeles, where he served from 1949 to 1970.

He began teaching Thru the Bible in 1967. After retiring from the pastorate, he set up radio headquarters in Pasadena, and the radio ministry expanded rapidly. Listeners never seem to tire of Dr. J. Vernon McGee's unique brand of rubber-meets-the-road teaching, or his passion for teaching the whole Word of God.

On the morning of December 1, 1988, Dr. McGee fell asleep in his chair and quietly passed into the presence of his Savior.
