In this inspiring series of studies, Brother Graham Mansfield takes us on a journey through key moments in the ministry of Jesus. Each class brings us close to the Master—hearing his teaching, witnessing his miracles, and sharing in the intimate lessons given to his disciples. These sessions reveal not only who he is, but also what it means to follow him faithfully and expectantly today.
Five Amazing Miracles
The series opens with a remarkable day in which Jesus performed multiple miracles that revealed his compassion and divine authority. From Jairus pleading for his dying daughter to the healing of a woman who had suffered for twelve years, these events show the power of faith and the tender care of the Master. Each miracle was more than an act of healing—it was a lesson in trust and discipleship.
The Parable of the Rich Fool
Here the focus turns to one of Jesus’ most searching parables. A man, concerned only with his inheritance, seeks his share of wealth. In response, Jesus tells the story of a rich man who stored up treasures for himself but was not rich toward God. This lesson challenges us to see beyond material gain, to understand the secrets of the kingdom, and to apply his teaching in lives of service and humility.
The Vision of Glory
In this study, we climb with Peter, James, and John to the mountaintop where Jesus was transfigured before them. They beheld his glory and heard the voice of God affirm him as his beloved Son. This moment of breathtaking wonder was given to strengthen the disciples for the trials to come, and it reminds us that true glory is found in obedience, sacrifice, and the hope of resurrection.
The Olivet Prophecy
As Jesus prepared for the final days of his ministry, he spoke with deep sadness about Jerusalem’s rejection and the destruction that was to come. From the Mount of Olives, he delivered a prophecy that looked beyond the temple’s fall to the signs of his return. These words call his disciples then and now to watchfulness, endurance, and faithfulness as we await the kingdom of God.
The Intercessory Prayer
In John 17 we are given a glimpse into the heart of Jesus as he prayed for himself, for his disciples, and for all who would believe through their word. This profound prayer, offered on the eve of his betrayal, reveals his love, his unity with the Father, and his desire that his followers might share in that same fellowship. It remains a model of prayer and trust for every believer.
The Resurrection Morn
The series concludes with the dawning of hope on the third day. Though the authorities sealed the tomb and set a guard, death could not hold the Son of God. The women at the sepulchre, the bewildered disciples, and the empty grave all testify to the triumph of the resurrection. This moment changed history forever and assures us that life, not death, is the final word with the Master.
