Top Highlights
“John’s purpose is to present Jesus as the Messiah, the Son of God, sent to earth to fulfill all that the Old Testament anticipated: bringing new life—eternal life—to a dark world.” (Page 8)
“While Matthew focuses on Jesus as the Jewish Messiah, Mark focuses on Jesus as the one who ushers in the kingdom of God, and Luke emphasizes Jesus as the one who welcomes the outsider, John emphasizes Jesus as the eternal Son of God. Through his signs and teaching, through his death and resurrection, and through the mission he entrusts to his disciples, Jesus fulfills all the Old Testament hopes and promises. He inaugurates the long-awaited new age.” (Page 8)
“In this prologue John introduces many of the major themes developed later in the Gospel, such as Jesus as the life, the light, and the truth; believers as God’s children; and the world’s rejection of Jesus.” (Page 11)
“These opening paragraphs of John’s Gospel announce good news. Note that these first eighteen verses contain not a single command to obey, but simply news to believe.” (Page 15)
“This is the resounding theme of John: good news. Jesus has come so that we, the undeserving, might receive ‘grace upon grace’ (1:16).” (Page 15)
