Gospel According To John - (Preach At A Four Gospels Program)

John 20:30-31 (KJV) And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:

[31] But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

TOPIC – GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JOHN

MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS

IN THE BOOK OF 1ST KINGS 8 CHP VERSE -27

SOLOMOM ASK A QUESTION

BUT WILL GOD INDEED DWELL ON EARTH

AND YOU DO KNOW IN THE BOOK OF EXODUS

40TH -CHP -VERSE 34

MOSES TELLS US THAT GODS GLORY HAD DWELT

IN THE TEMPLE

BUT THAT GLORY HAD DEPARTED FROM

DISOBEDIENT ISRAEL

BUT THEN A MARVELOUS THING HAPPEN

THE GLORY OF GOD CAME TO HIS PEOPLE AGAIN

IN THE PERSON OF HIS SON JESUS CHRIST

AND THE WRITERS OF THE FOUR GOSPELS

GIVES US SNAPSHOTS -OF OUR LORDS LIFE ON EARTH

MATTHEW PICTURES CHRIST AS KING OF

THE JEWS

MARK SHOWS CHRIST AS A SERVANT-AND HE

WRITES TO THE ROMANS

LUKE VIEWS CHRIST AS THE SON OF MAN-AND HE WRITES TO THE GREEKS

BUT JOHN PRESENTS CHRIST AS THE SON OF

GOD

AND HE WRITES TO THE WHOLE WORLD

WITH THE PURPOSE OF LEADING PEOPLE TO

CHRIST

AND THE SYNOPTIC GOSPELS FOCUS ON THE

HISTORICAL FACTS OF JESUS LIFE

WHILE JOHN THE NON SYNOPTIC GOSPEL

FOCUS ON JESUS DEITY

TO SHOW THAT JESUS WAS INDEED THE MESSIAH

THE SON OF GOD AND THE SAVIOR OF THE

WORLD

AND JOHN`S PORTRAIT OF JESUS IS THE MOST THEOLOGICAL OF THE FOUR GOSPELS

HE LAUNCHES HIS WORK BY PRESENTING

JESUS WHO EXISTED WITH GOD - AN AS GOD

BEFORE THE CREATION OF THE UNIVERSE

AND IT`S JOHN UNQUE STYLE THAT CONFRONTS

US WITH THE NECESSITY OF BELIEF

BECAUSE IN LIFE WE FIND OURSELVES IN A

STRUGGLE

A STRUGGLE BETWEEN -LIFE AND DEATH

-LIGHT AND DARKNESS

-TRUTH AND FALSEHOOD

A STRUGGLE BETWEEN -LOVE AND HATE

THAT’S WHY THE GOSPEL OF JOHN SHOWS

CONCERN

THAT WE AS CHILDREN OF GOD RESPOND TO JESUS BY PLACING OUR TRUST IN HIM

************************************************

BUT AS I EXAMINE THIS GOSPEL

THE GOSPEL OF JOHN HAS FOUR THEOLOGICAL

THEMES

1ST -JOHN TALKS ABOUT JESUS DEITY

BECAUSE AS BELIEVERS HE WANTS US TO KNOW

THAT JESUS CHRIST

IS TRULY ONE WITH THE FATHER AND THE ONLY

WAY TO THE FATHER IS THROUGH HIM

2ND HE TALKS ABOUT JESUS ATONEMENT

BECAUSE HE WANTS US TO UNDERSTAND

THAT JESUS DEATH AS A SACRIFICE PAID A DEBT

THAT WE COULD NOT PAY

AND AS THE LAMB OF GOD -JESUS TAKES AWAY

THE SIN OF THE WORLD

THAT WHO-SO-EVER BELIEVE IN HIM WILL NOT

PERISH BUT WILL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE

3RD HE TALKS ABOUT ETERNAL LIFE

BECAUSE HE WANT US TO REALIZE THAT LIFE IS

MORE THAN A MERE EARTHLY EXISTENCE

BUT LIFE IS A DESTINY THAT EXTENDS ON

THROUGH ETERNITY

AND JESUS IS THE PERFECT GIFT THAT GIVES

ETERNAL LIFE TO ALL BELIEVERS

4TH -

THE GOSPEL OF JOHN LET`S US KNOW

THAT FAITH IS OUR RESPONSE TO JESUS MARKED

BY TRUST IN IN HIM--BY TRUSTING OURSELVES

TO HIM

***********************************************

WELL MY BROTHERS AND SIS IF YOU WOULD

ALLOW ME TO USE THE FAMOUS WORDS OF

DR-LEROY BULLOCK

(AS I GO TO MY SEAT)

I WANT TO LIFT UP THREE KEYS THAT OPENS UP

AND UNLOCK THE GOSPEL OF JOHN

THE 1ST KEY IS THE BACK DOOR KEY

AND IT CAN BE FOUND IN THE 20TH CHP -VER-31

THIS KEY UNLOCKS THE WHOLE OF THE BOOK

AND IT`S STATES THE PURPOSE OF THE GOSPEL

OF JOHN

John 20:31 (KJV) But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

2ND KEY IS THE SIDE DOOR KEY

AND IT CAN BE FOUND IN THE 3RD CHP-VER-16

THE ENTIRE GOSPEL COMES TO FOCUS IN THIS

VERSE

BECAUSE IT SHOWS GODS LOVE FOR A SINFUL

MANKIND

, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

3RD KEY IS THE FRONT DOOR KEY

AND THIS KEY CAN BE FOUND IN THE 1ST CHP

-VER-12

AND THIS KEY HANGS RIGHT AT THE VERY FRONT

OUTSIDE`LOWDOWN WITHIN EVERY

MAN-WOMAN-BOY AND GIRL REACH

John 1:12 (KJV) But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

AND THIS IS THE CHIEF KEY TO THE GOSPEL OF

JOHN

BECAUSE IT`S USE PERMIT’S THE FRONT DOOR TO

BE FLUNG WIDE OPEN-AND ANYONE WHO

BELIEVES MAY ENTER

AIN`T GOD ALRIGHT
