Christ In All The Book Of John (33 Of 37)
Series: Christ in All the Scripture
John Barnett
John's whole Gospel is a building to a climax in chapter 20 = believe.
Note SIGNS v. 30 and the singling out of THESE in v. 31.
John built his whole Gospel as bridge with seven successive signs that transport you to the ultimate sign of chapter 20 - resurrection of Christ.
John notes the ministry of Christ in light of its impact on the hearts of those who saw these signs. What were the signs Christ performed to bring those who saw His ministry to belief?

1. Sign #1 Start in John 2:1-11. WATER TO WINE; HE IS LORD OF CREATION
2. Sign #2 Go to John 4:46-54 HEALING NOBLEMAN'S SON FROM AFAR; HE IS ALL POWERFUL (LORD OF TIME and SPACE) Note v. 54 supernaturally empowered
3. Sign #3 Now 5:1-15 THE WITHERED MAN AT BETHESDA HE IS LORD OVER SICKNESS

? MULTIPLIES FOOD AND DISPELS DEATH...
But the ultimate sign is Chapter 20!
Back to Chapter 20 -- it's Sunday, early, in the mist come the faithful to say farewell to dead.
