From Water to Blood: How John’s Gospel Restores God’s Presence | Lakewood Bible Study

Описание: Why does the Gospel of John read like a three-room temple—and how does that set the world right?

Join Erik Luchetta & Bible teacher Jeremy Marrone as they trace John’s “Water, Bread, Blood” journey and show how Jesus restores access to God’s presence.

Questions this conversation answers
What is “biblical justice” and how does John reveal it?
How do water miracles (John chapters 1-9) mirror the temple’s outer court?
Why do bread, incense, and light (John chapters 10-17) equal inner-court imagery?
How does the cross-and-resurrection scene (John chapters 18-20) match the Holy of Holies?
What does the torn curtain mean for my access to God today?

Core Takeaways
Temple Structure = Narrative Map – John’s gospel moves from purification to presence to atonement.
Jesus = True Human & True Temple – His body replaces the stone building (see John chapter 2 verse 19).
Restored Access – Cherubim at the empty tomb echo Eden’s angels now “off duty.”
Justice Defined – God sets humans right first, then renews all creation.
One New Humanity – Jews & Gentiles become one living temple (Ephesians chapter 2 verses 14-22).
