- The Global Message of John For Today
At the beginning of time, the word of God brought light and life out of nothing as the created order sprang into being. Writing his account of the ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus, the apostle John uses precisely these themes. “In the beginning,” John writes (John 1:1), using the same opening words as Genesis 1. John then speaks of the Wo...
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...

Christians from that time on, down to the present day, have acted as the hands and feet of Jesus as they have proclaimed the good news of salvation throughout the world.
God’s Concern for the World
The word “world” (Greek kosmos, from which we get our English word “cosmos”) occurs 186 times in the New Testament, and 78 of these occurrences are in John’s Gospel. The meaning of this word in John’s Gospel shifts slightly from one passage to the next. Sometimes it refers to the realm of darkness and sin (John 7:7; 12:31; 14:30; 17:16; 18:36). 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...
The Gospel of John awakens Christians around the globe today to the cosmic scope of salvation in Christ, and the eternal scope of God’s work in accomplishing this salvation, beginning in eternity past (John 1:1–3; 8:58). In John we see Christ reversing the curse of the fall as, for example, he heals the lame (John 5:1–9) or the blind (John 9:1–7). ...
Feb 6, 2019 · The Apostle John (also known as Saint John) was one of Jesus Christ’s 12 disciples, and a prominent leader in the early Christian church. Along with James and Peter, John was one of Jesus’ closest confidants, so he appears in more biblical accounts than the other disciples.
