PORTRAIT OF JESUS ACCORDING TO THE GOSPEL OF JOHN Prologue: The Gospel according to John presents Jesus as the eternal Word of God who ’became a human being and lived among us’. John has portrayed Jesus as the promised Saviour‚ the Son of God and that those who believe in him and have faith in him will have life (20:31). John’s Gospel and the Book of Genesis both begin with the words ’in the beginning’. The Word is said to be God and with God. The existence of the Word precedes creation and through

Christ washed his disciple’s feet that he might signify to them spiritual washing‚ and the cleansing of the soul from the pollutions of sin. Christ washed his disciple’s feet that he might give an instance of his own wonderful humility‚ and show how lowly and condescending he was‚ and let all the world know how low he could stoop in love to his own. Christ washed his disciple’s feet to set before us an example. Foot

I first heard about the gospel of John‚ but I do remember when we had a big argument about the four gospels. I was born in the Philippines and maybe around seventy to eighty percent of the people believe in Jesus Christ. I was in second year high school then when we had the biggest discussion among my friends. I got four friends and we all have different religions. As much as possible‚ we tried not to talk about religion until we talked about how common the name John was. One thing led to another

In the fourth Gospel‚ as the Gospel of John is usually known‚ a long prayer follows the farewell discourses. This prayer is also usually designated as the "high priestly prayer" of Jesus. John surrounds this prayer of several chapters‚ which describe Jesus’ preparation to His way to the Cross. John affirms that this preparation begins by the footwashing‚ which shows the disciples the ministry of servanthood Jesus expected from them (Jn 13: 1 – 20). Then‚ in the first farewell discourse‚ Jesus gives

significant theological themes in the Gospel of john and how may I apply these themes to my contemporary setting? The major theological themes in the Gospel of John are faith‚ eternal life‚ resurrection‚ the relationship between God and his son Jesus and discipleship. In my post for week 5 I talked about how in John the relationship between God and his son Jesus was immediately explained in the first Chapter. They did not go over his birth account in John rather what his purpose and closeness to

The Importance of the Logos Christology in the Gospel of John John wrote the immortal words of the Prologue into a desperately troubled world. The Romans held most of the known world in their political grasp. The Greeks had infiltrated every part of Jewish life with their philosophies and ways for over 500 years; the Jewish obsession with ethnic purity divided the race even from itself. One key issue Jew and Greek could agree on was the existence of the Logos‚ though not in the same way. To the

passages in the Gospel of John that mention the “beloved Disciple” there is no evidence that it would be one person in particular. The book of John does an excellent job of remaining consistent in story and character of this mystery Disciple. Although Jesus is with him and speaks of him frequently‚ he is certain to not be mentioned by name. This obviously points the reader to examine the authorship of the gospel itself because of the consistencies in story throughout Jesus’s life. In John 21 it says in

Testament‚ the Gospel of John is the latest-written. In this report I will be analysing this Gospel in both a literary and thematic point of view. “What was John trying to get across?” and “What is the meaning behind Jesus’ miracles?” are two of the key arguments I am going to make. The book of John contains a narrative history about the mystery of the identity of Jesus. Supposedly written by the apostle/disciple John around 85-95 AD‚ the book gives us context of His origin and nature. • John introduces
