Title: Four Great Truths of God Becoming Human (1)
Series: Believe-A Study of the Gospel of John
Author: Scott Maze
Text: John 1:1, 14-28
If you will find the gospel of John with me. The New Testament has four gospels that begin the best-selling book of all time. Each of the four shares a unique perspective on Jesus, while many of the stories overlap. So, if you were reading the gospels, you would read many of the same miracles and parables more than once.
John was likely written after Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Positioned as the last of four gospels in our Bibles, there is nothing about John that is inferior to the other four gospels in any way. We have a great gift in the Gospel of John.
The gospel of John has brought life-changing inspiration and comfort to countless generations of Christian believers. John tells us the reason he writes the gospel near the very end of the book: "...but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name" (John 20:31).
John is so good that children often memorize entire chapters of John's gospel.1 Elderly Christians on their deathbed ask that parts of this Gospel be read to them. Students on college campuses hand out free copies of the Gospel of John to their friends in the hope of introducing them to Jesus. For years, the Billy Graham organization encouraged all new believers to start reading the Bible by reading the gospel of John first. And of course, for decades, the best-known verse in the Bible is found in John's gospel: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16).
The gospel of John offers what many consider the most comprehensive and penetrating answer to the central question of all time - who is Jesus Christ?
Again, we have a great gift in the Gospel of John.
