Who is Jesus Really?
"In the beginning was the word"
Jesus has no beginning. He always was, He always is, and He always will be. Jesus has no end.
This is A Bible study centered around the book of John. The first three Gospels, Matthew, Mark, and Luke are known as the three synoptic gospels. Synoptic means "see-together" and the first three gospels present Jesus’ life in pretty much the same format. The first three gospels focus more on what Jesus taught and did; John focuses more on who Jesus is.
John shows us who Jesus is by highlighting seven signs (miracles) of Jesus. Six of these miracles are not mentioned in the first three gospels.
John shows us who Jesus is by allowing Jesus to speak for Himself in seven dramatic I Am statements.
John shows us who Jesus is by calling forth witnesses who will testify about the identity of Jesus. Four of these witnesses speak in the first chapter alone.
And speaking of John the Apostle if we give diligent attention to entertainment, sports, music, or the news, how much more should we give diligent attention "when a man is speaking from heaven, and utters a voice plainer than thunder?" (John Chrysostem)
This will be a chapter by chapter, verse by verse study where we will endeavor to understand and apply what we dig out of this book. I challenge you to come and learn the secrets of the power of God’s word. The word of God never disappoints.
This study will be led by Sam whitworth
