The Gospel of John - Jesus Shows His Authority As God

You’ll hear many pastors encourage people to start in the book of John, if they are asking, where should I start in the Bible. The reason behind this is the focus of the Gospel of John, to help people SEE and KNOW Jesus as He truly is and come to LOVE Him and have a RELATIONSHIP with. Through that RELATIONSHIP, want to become like Him and SERVE Him. It’s a beautiful thing when we decided to take this journey. We’ll see in John 5, we won’t be able to read the whole chapter, the overarching focus the Gospel wants us to have. The focus = Jesus wants us to SEE and KNOW Him as God, the Son of Man and the Son of God. Jesus will go against the religious leaders and try to help them see who He really is and why they should come to Him. All of us have a choice. We can come to Him and have a RELATIONSHIP with Him, or we can choose not to come to Him. Our prayer is that everyone who hears this message will decide to come to Him. For those who have already made that choice, our prayer is that you’ll challenge yourself to tell others about Jesus and share your testimony to what He has done in your life. Why = John 5:30-31 gives us the answer, 30 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. Let’s strive to have life in His name and help others do the same!
