The Origin Of Christ

Contributed by Ron Macarthur on Jul 20, 2007

This teaching shows us where Jesus came from and His relationship with God the Father. It will give some startling information to many. It is from the Gospel of John.

John will not begin his Gospel with a genealogy nor an account of Christ’s birth as was done on other Gospels. Instead he will immediately establish who Jesus is and exactly what His origin is. Let’s look to the first verses. JN 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and ...read more
