The Message of John (BST)
Overview
John the disciple of Jesus had known the Word of God incarnate. John the pastor and evangelist had contemplated the meaning of that unique person and event. Through the eyes of faith John retells the story of the Word, drawing out its meaning for his contemporaries so that they "might come to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God" and "have life in his name."
True to his mentor, the Fourth Evangelist, Bruce Milne has a passion for passing on this Word and helping others respeak it. As Milne puts it, "The mystery of Jesus Christ is the theme of this gospel; always beyond us, yet always summoning us to explore it more fully."

Top Highlights
“So much popular Western evangelical religiosity is so shallow and selfish. It promises so much and demands so little. It offers success, personal happiness, peace of mind, material prosperity; but it hardly speaks of repentance, sacrifice, self-denial, holy lifestyle and willingness to die for Christ.” (Page 226)
“The second secret of effective mission is to remain in me, the Son (4, 5)” (Page 221)
“The third secret of mission is praying in Jesus’ name” (Page 222)
“Essentially therefore the new birth is from God; it is supernatural, beyond human control or exhaustive human knowledge. Like the wind, however, and despite its mysteriousness, its effects can be experienced at first hand.” (Page 76)
“Jesus is therefore informing Nicodemus that this new day of cleansing and power anticipated by the prophet is now to hand, the long-awaited messianic age is now present.” (Page 76)
