Analyzing The Passages, That The Apostle John

"It appears, that of all the apostle John was especially favoured with our Lord's regard and confidence, so as to be called the

The Gospel of John, the last of the four gospels in the Bible, is a radical departure from the simple style of the synoptic gospels. It is the only one that does not use parables as a way of showing how Jesus taught, and is the only account of several events, including the raising of Lazarus and Jesus turning water into wine. While essentially the gospel is written anonymously, many scholars believe that it was written by the apostle John sometime between the years 85 and 95 CE in Ephesus. The basic story is that of a testimonial of one of the Apostles and his version of Jesus' ministry. It begins by telling of the divine origins of the birth of Jesus, then goes on to prove that He is the Son of

John presents a very different Jesus compared to the synoptic gospels. It is clear that for John Jesus has many complex elements to his personality and without all of these the picture is not complete. The above quote by Käsemann suggests that in the gospel of John Jesus’ divinity is definite and his presence is felt on the entire world through his words and actions. This allows for the human Jesus but implies the divine Jesus is imperative.

Some reader of the book of John may say that it is difficult to understand then at the same time others see it as somewhat of bewildering. In this book through a series of sermons preach by Tozer. Jesus with his deity is presented In the book And He Dwelt Among Us: Teachings from the Gospel of John, although not written by Tozer, this book consist of a collection of the sermons on the book of John. The book is compiled and edited by James L. Snyder, who himself is pastor. He write this book base on the life and ministry of A.W. Tozer. Snyder`s aim in his writing seem to be to allow his readers to experience the voice of Dr. Tozer through his sermons as one become acquainted with the One who became flesh.

John the Baptist is considered an important figure in Christianity for numerous reasons. Before the baptizing of Jesus or even his own birth, the nomadic preacher is foreshadowed throughout the bible. His essence is not automatically recalled at first glance. Yet, through reading and context you can see the correlation of how the New Testament fulfills the old and how the Old Testament foreshadows the new. Taking that in consideration here are some passages that prove this point.

One of the major themes of the Book of John is to prove that Jesus is the Messiah and the Son of God. What makes these miracles so special is the difficulty faced to create them and what each is trying to teach. There are seven main miracles, seven being a significant number throughout the bible, that are used to help better understand Jesus and his true identity. We can also find a last miracle in His resurrection, which in itself is simply put that Jesus is a part of God because of how impossible this action seemed. The last miracle is sometimes skipped as a sign that Jesus is the Christ and Messiah. This book was written from true events which is why it is made important and allows people to see who Jesus is. The reason

canonical book and the writing of his gospel. Some of those questions have answers and some do not. In this essay we will take a look at some of them that has biblical answers. The first question is did John write the gospel bearing his name? Second, who was the audience that he was writing to? Third, what was the purpose of John writing the gospel?

Explanation: The Gospel of John begins like no other. It begins, not at Jesus’ birth, not at the time of the prophets, not even at Adam, but in the very beginning, before there was anything. Anything, that is, except God and the Word who was God. John introduces this Word as the light and the life and the creator of everything. And yet his own creation did not know him. At this point, the man whom Jesus called the greatest prophet of all (Luke 7:28) is introduced: John the Baptist. He came to wake the world up to see their creator that had come to them. Truly, he came to “prepare the way of the Lord” (Isaiah 40:3), a light to testify of the Light that was even already come. John’s role was to open the eyes of the world to see the Christ that had come: the Savior they did not recognize or receive, the Light they,

Steven Fettke writes about the importance of being fill with the spirit. In particular, we understand that Spirit of God calls us to do all things and great things. Written another way, we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Fettke writes about his son who is been with a severe case of autism. He tries desperately to tries to seems to try and make some sense of his son’s diagnoses. It is not hard to understand how God imparts fantastic and extraordinary gifts to those who will be used according to His purpose, which is all of those who have been called into kingdom living. However, Fettke argues that it is not difficult to see the Holy Spirit working through the life of John the Baptist. According to scripture, John the

In Culpepper and Koester’s writing I’ve learned a great deal about the Gospel of John from all perspectives. I’ve learned everything from what makes John unique, the Gospel of John as literature, and some theological insight on the Gospel of John. In this particular paper though I want to focus on three key questions asked and deliver well thought out ideas and answers. Also in this paper the reader will learn what the similarities and differences John has from the Synoptic Gospels, what difference would it make to Christian belief today if the Gospel of John was never written, and what my favorite gospel is and why?

In the gospel of John, we know that the apostle is facing two significant challenges, confront Jews that do not believe that Jesus of Nazareth is God made flesh and Gnostics that do not accept that Jesus, as the revelation of God, took the form of a human body. I

When we discuss the cities that the Apostle John describes to us are you anything like me when I think about these cities.

In John 1-20 we learn that John was sent from God to be a witness to testify to the light, so everyone can believe through him. We then find out that there was a wedding in which Mary was invite and Jesus went with his disciples and give instructions to the waiters. Jesus then tells them to follow him and talks to them about not committing sin. Later Jesus looks up to the sky and talks to God because he knows he is going to die, but he wants his disciples to be protected. Jesus was then taken by pilate and was flogged, then Jesus gets taken and gets beaten, then crucified. Mary then goes to visit Jesus tomb three days later, sees the moved stone and goes to call pete along with the disciples, but he has risen.

The original intent of this story still is confusing. Part of the reason the original intent is confusing, is because people focus more on the issue of whether the passage belongs in the book of John or not and how the passage functions. Yet Scott has come up with a way that this passage is probably intended: “The reader becomes increasingly aware that the trial is not about any form of justice, but is a put-up job.” When scholars begin to look at the story in this manner, scholars begin to see that the woman was being humiliated for someone else’s gain. This knowledge makes the Pharisees turn into a bully, as the Pharisees are possibly humiliating her for no important reason. Even in Jesus’s day bullies were looked down upon and were hidden from. So instead of the woman breaking the law, more likely the Pharisees broke the law when the Pharisees began to bully others . However, the Pharisees are the law enforcers so the Pharisees are not going to punish themselves for the wrong doing that the Pharisees have done.

We draw from that depth of tradition reaching back to the church of Pentecost, including early creeds (e.g., Apostles’ and Nicene-Constantinopolitan), various church councils, journeys of Christian pilgrims, and writings of Christian thinkers (Heb 12:1-2). This diverse witness has been shaped and preserved over the centuries of Christian teaching and reflection on the Gospel. It contains the great triumphs and epic failures of our tradition, both of which we can learn from.
