The Gospel of John: Jesus-True Content and Final Goal of the Law (NT Survey Lesson 41)

This lecture covers part three of the Gospel of John. The body of John's Gospel is John 1:19 through Chapter 21.There were those who thought of themselves as disciples of Moses but not of Jesus. Consider that Jesus is the fulfillment of everything Moses said. He is the fulfillment of the practices and the fulfillment of the temple and the Law. Jesus is the "Logos (sarx) (Word-flesh) and "Logos incarnatus" (Word will become flesh). The whole Bible is about Jesus. In the Gospel of John, there are far more links to the Jewish festivals than in the other gospels. The first public ministry of Jesus in John's Gospel is the cleansing of the temple. In John 2, Jesus is the fulfillment of what the temple was all about. Jesus is the real Temple. He is the presence of God and where atonement and worship can and should happen. Reflect that the Torah is Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy but the Law is ultimately about Jesus. It is its true content and final goal.
