Show Notes

We commence a study of John's Gospel by surveying the other 3 - Mark, Matthew and Luke, known as the Synoptic ("seen together") Gospels due to the closeness of their narratives. While the Synoptics have much in common with each other, they also each have a distinct voice, style, and message. John is clearly writing after they've all been completed and is making sure - as an eyewitness - that nothing vital has been left out of the record of Jesus' mission and call. While John will be a great storyteller, he begins his gospel as a poet theologian in order to creatively impress Jesus' divinity and power upon us from the outset. God is beginning a new work in Jesus, and he can begin a new one in us!
