The Book of John Introduction | EK Pestaño

Описание: Nabasa mo na ba ang book of John?

Ang Book of John ay isinulat para ipakita kung sino talaga si Jesus hindi lang bilang Teacher o Miracle Worker.

“These are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God…”
(John 20:31)

Sino ang sumulat?

Ang author ay si John the Apostle, na kilala bilang “the disciple whom Jesus loved.”
Isa siya sa inner circle ni Jesus (kasama nina Peter at James), kaya personal at malalim ang perspective niya.

Key Theme: Ang Deity ni Cristo

Sa John pa lang, malinaw na agad:

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (John 1:1)

Hindi na pinatagal, Jesus is God mula umpisa pa lang.

Pinili ni John ang 7 miracles na tinawag niyang signs:

2. Healing ng official’s son
3. Healing sa Bethesda
4. Feeding the 5,000
