The Surprising Welcome of Gentiles
Right from the start of John’s Gospel we learn that the Jews generally rejected Christ and that God was extending his grace to any who would receive him (John 1:11–13). Then, early in Christ’s ministry, John tells about Jesus extending grace to a sinful Samaritan woman, who was obviously an outsider. Thereafter in John’s Gospel we see hostility toward Jesus on the part of the very people who ought to have understood and embraced him—his own fellow Jews (John 5:16–18; 6:41; 7:1; 8:59; 9:22; 10...
Christ’s Extension of His Worldwide Mission through His Disciples
Jesus was sent to earth on a mission by God the Father, and in glad response Jesus sends his disciples out on a mission to the world, empowered by the Spirit: “As you sent me into the world,” Jesus prays to his Father, “so I have sent them into the world” (John 17:18; compare John 4:38; 15:16; 20:21–23).

More often, however, the “world” in John simply refers to all the people who live on this planet. John tells us many times of God’s loving, saving att...

Mar 23, 2018 · This would explain why Jesus entrusts Mary to John (19:25)—a natural family relation (she may have been John’s aunt)—and John was known by the high priest through Mary’s priestly relatives (18:15–16; cf.
