The Apostle of Love
We know from the apostle Paul that more and more, Jesusโ claim to be God was rejected by the people of their native land and faith, even as more and more from surrounding cultures and religions had their eyes opened and came to faith.
For you and me today, the question is the same as it was in Johnโs day:
Who is Jesus and what is His significance to me?
John wrote his gospel to answer that question in such a convincing way, those who read it would put their faith in Jesus as Messiah.

Last Call: Study the Gospel of John

The difference between failure and success is Jesus himself. You never know how close you are to a breakthrough. The disciples had only to throw their nets on the other side of the boat, just this one last time, when Jesus gave them the word. And their nets were more full than if they hadโฆ

Gospel of John: Thomas Had Doubts
It was seemingly impossible for Thomas to accept Jesus’ resurrection without some empirical proof. Doubt can be a good thing, because it makes us think. Doubt is one foot lifted, poised to move forward or backward.

Gospel of John: Mary of Magdala

Gospel of John: Resurrection Timeline
Though the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) all synchronize with each other, and John seems to stand alone in what it recounts, all four gospels agree on the main events concerning Jesusโs trials, crucifixion, death, and resurrection. Many have sought to create a timeline of events, poring through these four eyewitness accounts, as Iโฆ

Swoon theories are like urban myths. When examined, the actual facts disprove the myth, but the myth keeps getting repeated. So, the writers of the gospelsโand especially Johnโwere careful to document the reality of Jesusโ physical death and his physical resurrection.

John briefly references the story of Simon from Cyrene (Found in Matthew, Mark, and Luke), and omits the story of the daughters of Jerusalem (found only in Luke).

About Me
My passion for the Bible began when I was eight or nine years old, somewhere in there, when on occasion my dad would take me to synagogue, where he sang. I remember watching the men in synagogue pray the words of scripture, murmuring and weeping, lovingly touching and kissing the Torah, and I wished I could read what they were reading.
Imagine, then, my wonder when I was given a Bible of my own! Read more
