Gospel of John
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.
