A Conversational Commentary On The Gospel of JOHN

John opens his gospel with the statement, “In the beginning was the Word…” John introduces us to Jesus, not through a historical or human perspective, but with a theological announcement. John introduces Jesus through an eternal existence that ultimately would walk the earth in a human suit and proclaim His authority as Creator and Messiah. John highlights seven of the 30 plus miracles, recorded throughout the gospels, proclaiming Jesus is more than a man. This commentary is written in a way that speaks plainly and with simplicity, for the lay-Christian, but also excavates the deep nuggets of truth and cultural relevance that are critical to deeper spiritual understanding.
