Polycarp of Smyrna (69 – 155)

Saviour and my King?”

John 1:43-51 NIV

The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee.

Finding Philip, he said to him, “Follow me.” Philip,

like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of

Bethsaida. Philip found Nathanael and told him,

“We have found the one Moses wrote about in the

Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote—

Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” “Nazareth!

Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael

asked. “Come and see,” said Philip. When Jesus

saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, “Here

truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.”

Page 9: Who do you say Jesus is?

“How do you know me?” Nathanael asked. Jesus

answered, “I saw you while you were still under the

fig tree before Philip called you.” Then Nathanael

declared, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are

the king of Israel.” Jesus said, “You

believe because I told you I saw you under the fig

tree. You will see greater things than that.” He then

added, “Very truly I tell you, you will see ‘heaven

open, and the angels of God ascending and

descending on’ the Son of Man.”

Matthew 16:13-17 NIV

When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi,

he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of

Man is?” They replied, “Some say John the Baptist;

others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the

prophets.” “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do

you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the

Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Jesus replied,

“Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not

revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in

heaven.

"Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran

When your legs don't work like they used to beforeAnd I can't sweep you off of your feetWill your mouth still remember the taste of my love?Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?

And, darling, I will be loving you 'til we're 70And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious waysMaybe just the touch of a handWell, me—I fall in love with you every single dayAnd I just wanna tell you I am

So honey nowTake me into your loving armsKiss me under the light of a thousand starsPlace your head on my beating heartI'm thinking out loudThat maybe we found love right where we are

Apostles Creed (part)

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of

heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who

was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin

Mary,

suffered under Pontius Pilate,

was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended

to the dead.

On the third day he rose again;

5. Keep your hope alive

Prophet Habakkuk – exile in Babylon

Remembering the Davidic era:

1Kings 4:25 –people lived in safety,

everyone under their own vine and

under their own fig tree.

Page 29: Who do you say Jesus is?

5. Keep your hope alive

Psalm 137: 1-4 NIV

By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we

remembered Zion. There on the poplars we hung

our harps, for there our captors asked us for songs,

our tormentors demanded songs of joy; they said,

“Sing us one of the songs of Zion!” How can we sing

the songs of the Lord while in a foreign land?

Page 30: Who do you say Jesus is?

5. Keep your hope alive

Habakkuk 3:17-19 NIV

Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no

grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and

the fields produce no food, though there are no

sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I

will rejoice in the Lord , I will be joyful in God my

Saviour. The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he

makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables

me to tread on the heights.

Forgiveness

Dear Lord Jesus

As I stand before You:

I welcome and receive the following people to stand with

me before You: (Name

the people out loud).

I ask You to forgive me for judging them and placing them in

bondage and

allowing hurt and disappointment to rule my life.

I ask You to release them even as I now release them and

set them free.

Please set me free from the bondage I have been in.

Remove the blockage of judgement from my life and

release Your river of mercy to flow through me.

In Jesus name. Amen
