John the Perspective: Grasping John’s Gospel
-How he (John) viewed Christ as he penned the gospel.
John 1: 14
Son of God: reference to Christ is used 10+ times in the Gospel of John. More than any other gospel.
We often miss the significance of that term. Psalm 8:4 (He drew parallelism: same truth stated twice but with a little bit of change)
Affirmation of Christ’s deity.
Son of God = Nature of God
3 Major Ideas from the Prologue of John
- God’s son among men
- Eternity of Christ – paramount importance that you understand Christ has always “been” – he wasn’t “created” in Mary.
John 1: 1-3 Micah 5:2 > Christ is not a “created” being, he is from “everlasting”
John 1:4-5 Before Abraham
John 17:5 I AM
- Hostility our Lord Met
- John 1:4-5, 10-11, 3:19-21, 5:18, 7:1,19,20,25 , 8:41,48,52
- Matt 10:34
- Hostility increases after the raising of Lazarus Chapters 11 and 12 of John
- John 1:14 Authenticity of Christ
- By his signs
- 2:11 reveals his glory
- Acts 2:22
- 2:23 very public
- 7:31 numerous
- 11: 45, 47 undeniability
- By his sayings
- 7:37-38, 46
- 4:39-42
