The Gospel of John: Jesus-In The Beginning (NT Survey Lesson 40)

Dr. Jono Linebaugh

This lecture covers part two of the Gospel of John. John's Prologue is Chapter 1:1-18 and is the whole Gospel in summary form. The rest of the Gospel of John interprets the Prologue. Consider the main themes of John's Gospel. Jesus was in the beginning. God's True Word is Jesus. Reflect that Martin Luther struggled with his sinfulness and questioned if he was one of the elect of God. Johann von Staupitz advised Luther not to "probe into the secret council of the hidden God."
