About this episode
The Gospel of John does not begin with a manger scene. It does not start with shepherds, or wise men, or a decree from Caesar Augustus. It is the most profound and foundational statement of reality ever penned. This sword is not made of steel, but of something far sharper and more decisive: the truth. Wherever the unadulterated truth of Jesus Christ is proclaimed, it does not broker a truce with falsehood. We see this principle on full display in our text today. How an author chooses to conclude his work tells you a great deal about his central purpose. Some books end with a question, leaving you unsettled. Others end with a neat little bow, tying up every loose end.
This overview explores the whole book. Read the explanations sampled in this summary:
