Pastor and First Lady Monroe The Word Lives! Background: Reading: Isaiah 40:21-26 Lesson Scripture: John 1:1-14 Lesson Aims: To acknowledge that Jesus is God in the flesh; to appreciate Him being the light and life of the world; and to walk closer to Him daily. Background: The Apostle John penned the M fourth Gospel around the end of the first century AD. One of Jesus' inner circle, he focused on the "deity of ? the Lord and the /j?etmkja of faith in Him" (Richards^ I Complete Bible Handbook). The early church was located in vari ous places and it was very diverse. Its members were Jews and Gentiles, rich and poor, educated and less ^ educated, and male and fp m a 1 f* Wot o Qv;nrvntirt IVIIIUIV. U kj J liupn V Gospel, this book ignored Jesus' time in Galilee and many of His miracles. Where the Synoptics concentrat ed on the life and teachings of Jesus, John's Gospel was more theological. By that I mean he centers on key con cepts such as "Life/Death; Light/Darkness; Belief/Unbelief; and Love/Hate" (Richards'). The Gospel of John recorded Jesus visiting Jerusalem four times during Passover. Gnosticism was brought into the I early church by men declaring to have some "secret truth." They also rejected the humanity of Jesus. John's writing was to correct the diverse groups within the church as well as to nonbelievers. Lesson: The Gospel begins with "In the beginning was the Word." The Greek term is "logos" which signi fies the power that con trols everything. For Jews, logos represents God Himself - the Ultimate Power" (Echoes Adult Teacher Commentary). With a diverse audience, he uses terms that all can comprehend. If you think back to last week, wisdom was there along with the Word at cre ation. Neither is created! There is no question about the deity of God. The apostle connects Iaciic tn flaH fn rofnt/s jv.iu.i iv \jv;u iv i vi uiv. the Gnostics. What characteristics does the Word have? The Word is life, meaning it gives, sustains and trans forms life. It is eternal and spiritual. Secondly, the word is light that exposes darkness. No matter how strong darkness is, it cannot overpower the light. John goes on to tell about the witness to that Light (John the Baptist).
