The Testimony of John the Baptist: “Behold, the Lamb of God” (John 1:19–34)
John the Baptist is questioned by religious leaders about his identity, but he refuses every opportunity to exalt himself. Instead, he points to Jesus with one of the greatest declarations in Scripture: “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”
The Word Became Flesh: The Glory of the Incarnation (John 1:14–18)
John 1:14–18 is the climax of the Gospel’s prologue. The eternal Word who created all things entered His own creation by becoming flesh. In Jesus Christ, God’s glory is revealed, His grace is poured out, and the unseen Father is made known to the world.
The True Light and the Children of God: Receiving the Light of Life (John 1:6–13)
John the Baptist was not the Light—he came to testify about the Light. In John 1:6–13, we discover God’s design for faithful witness, humanity’s tragic rejection of its Creator, and the astonishing privilege given to everyone who believes in Christ: becoming children of God.
The Eternal Word: Before Time Began (John 1:1–5)
John opens his Gospel unlike any other writer, taking readers beyond Bethlehem and even beyond Genesis into eternity itself. In five profound verses, he declares that Jesus is the eternal Word, fully God, Creator of all things, the source of life, and the Light no darkness can overcome.
Introduction to the Gospel of John: That You May Believe
The Gospel of John is unlike the other three Gospels. Rather than simply recounting the life of Jesus, John writes so that readers may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and by believing have life in His name. This introduction prepares us for that remarkable journey.
The Ascension of Jesus: The King Enthroned and the Mission Begins (Luke 24:50–53)
Luke concludes his Gospel with the ascension of Jesus Christ. As He blesses His disciples, He is taken into heaven. Rather than grieving His departure, they return to Jerusalem with great joy, worshiping the risen King and awaiting the promised Holy Spirit.
