Mission in the Gospel of John

Strike the Match with J. D. Payne

The fourth Gospel has a great deal to say about mission. One scholar noted, “the Fourth Gospel’s focus is not on God’s mission per se, but on his mission through Jesus and on Jesus’ mission through his followers.”

In this episode, the blessing of the nations shows up in three manifestations.

John notes the blessing of the nations occurs through the sending of John the Baptist, Jesus, Temple, Spirit, and Disciples.

The blessing of the nations only comes through the testimony of those who are sent.

And those who are sent will suffer on account of their testimony and the One who sent them.
