A Brief Outline of The Four Gospels — Part 4 |
| “Have an outline of sound words” (2 Timothy 1:13, JND). |
| Johnpresents Christ as the Son of God and as the Word.“But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God” (John 20:31). |
| It was written by the apostle who calls himself “The disciple whom Jesus loved” (John 13:23; 19:26; 20:2; 21:7; 21:20). |
| There is no mention of the Lord’s birth … He is the ever-existing One … the Eternal Word (John 1:1-2). Therefore, there is no genealogy as God is His Father. |
| Christ is presented as the “I Am”(The Bread of Life, The Light of the World, The Door, The Good Shepherd, The Resurrection and The Life, The Way, The Truth, The Life, The Vine). |
| There is no record of His ascension. As the omnipresent One, He was in heaven and on earth at the same time. “And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but He that came down from heaven, even the Son of Man which is in heaven” (John 3:13). |
| It is the most doctrinal of the four Gospels. |
