The Disciple Who Believed (43 of 66)
Series: Route 66: A Road Trip Through the Bible
Tony Thomas
John
Six times in the Gospel of John, the author identifies himself as, ''The disciple whom Jesus loved.'' Let's read one of the accounts in John 20. Open your Bible, you church ap - or read from the screen.
John 20 ...
1 While it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been rolled away.
2 She came running to Simon Peter and to the disciple whom Jesus loved.
2b She said, ''They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have put him!''
3 So Peter and the other disciple started running for the tomb.
4 But the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first.
5 He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in.
6 Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went into the tomb.
8 Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed.
Look at the last four words of vs. 8 ... ''He saw and believed.'' Say those words with me: ''He saw and believed.''
I want to begin our lesson with two prayers. The first is from Psalms 19:14, ''May the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight.'' The second is from John 20:8, that you will ''see and believe'' in Jesus.
This is Week No. 43 in our Roadtrip Through the Bible and we are looking at the Gospel of John in the New Testament. Everybody who attends WHCC is not a believer. Some are here for their spouse and/or kids, some for their parents and others for their date. Some are investigating the claims of Jesus Christ. We are praying that you will ''... see Jesus and believe!''
I. The Author and His Audience
The author of the 4th Gospel is John. John was an old man when he wrote his Gospel. It was 50 years after Jesus' death. In fact, John was the only disciple to witness the resurrection and not die of martyrdom.
That means he live ...
