John 1
Manage episode 427791907 series 3514034
Today, we’re beginning the gospel of John. Of the four gospel accounts in the New Testament, John is the outlier, as it is not “synoptic” with the other accounts. In other words, John doesn’t record the life of Jesus using parallel accounts used by the other gospel writers. This gospel is rich in theology, revealing the nature of Christ to a deeper degree, including his own teaching about his relationship with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit in later chapters. John parallels Genesis 1 as he opens his account, teaching that Christ is the “logos,” the Word of God, who was not only with God but who is himself God. He came in the flesh and dwelt among men. John the Baptist was the forerunner of Christ, a prophet like those of old who came to call Israel to repentance so that they be ready for the coming Messiah.
