The Gospel of John was written so that everyone would come to believe in Jesus as Messiah and Son of God and have life.

Now, for the biggest sign of love, “When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.”With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.” Jesus suffered a brutal death for us, solely because he loved us that much, so much that he was willing to die for each one of us. These are some examples of how the Gospel of John conveys the theme of …show more content…

    Apostle John makes it clear that one must be born again (1Joh 5:1). To know God is to know Him as Father as it is written in 1Joh 3:1 and Joh 1:12. We are His children and as His children, we receive special privileges and rights to be called the Sons of God. It is by His power and from His love that we were adopted into His family. It is by God’s love that we were drawn to Him.

    The 10 disciples came from all aspects of society ranging from a ballet dancer to a taxi driver, to a model; but each of the disciples found common ground by the end of the first song (“Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord”) under the teachings of Jesus. By having a diverse group of followers, Schwartz/Tebleak express the notion that anyone with an open mind to Christianity can be attracted to Jesus and similarly that anyone can spread the word of Christianity. Once again, this reinforces the subject matter present in the play, a performance expressing a modern view of the teaching of Christ. As in real life, not all of the characters immediately accept Jesus as a teacher. While subtle, some of the characters show signs of resistance to Jesus’ teachings, such as John the Baptist when attempting to learn the lesson of forgiving one’s enemies.

    1. Jesus told his apostles to love their enemies and treat others well even if they don’t do the same; he told them to do what they would want done to them. If they expect nothing in return, they will be rewarded and be seen good in the eyes of God. Jesus was teaching compassion and selflessness. This parable is the origin of the saying “Treat others how you want to be treated.”

    Discipleship is characterized by how well we succeed in following God. During the course of the movie Les Miserables, the main character, Jean Val Jean, develops the qualities of being a faithful disciple. The four main criteria of being an excellent disciple are that a disciple must put personal desires aside, accept suffering, serve others, and love others, even those who are our enemies. At first, Jean Val Jean was lacking in compassion for others and faith for God, and was even imprisoned for stealing bread and continuous attempts to escape prison. It was not until Jean Val Jean knocked on the door of a bishop and requested to stay in his house.

    He believed in doing the right thing and he was willing to fight for it. During the witch-hunts that affected us all, John tried with every ounce of strength he had to stop the court from going along with Abigail’s manipulations and lies, and in the process confessed to the court the truth of his lechery to make it known that Abigail was just pretending. He knew that his reputation would be ruined, but he knew that it had to be done to save the innocent people accused of trafficking with the devil. I don’t know how many other people would do the same and be able to risk their own reputations knowing that they would no longer be looked at as a respectable person. Some people doubt whether or not John is in heaven.

    Respect, love, right from wrong, these are very important things to have in Christian leadership. Charter and values of a person are different. Our charter is a spiritual fruit and a blessing that is built from a real, Godly relationship and total commitment to Christ as Lord. In order for us to develop a strong charter, the flow from the Fruit of the Holy Spirit must be accessed and developed (Galatians 5:22-23). The preacher must preach the word, the leadership sculpt it, and the church encourage and model it through the precepts of the world.

    God wanted to show man that he too can sacrifice and suffer; therefore he sent Jesus down to dwell among man to show man that God can be flesh. Jesus differs from man in that, he is the word of God and was sent by God as an example of himself for man. Jesus did not have the same flaw of curiosity as man had. Jesus was able to teach and spread God’s word without doubting its context. Jesus was believed to be the Messiah that the people of Israel wanted to free them from slavery.

    The Gospel of John is very distinctly different from the Synoptic Gospels in many ways. In both Mark and John it is stressed that Jesus never taught without using parables, whereas in John does not record any of the parables (Harris, 2015). Likewise, we find that the Gospel of John presents us with a distinctly different chronology and order of events. The absence of material covering the nature of his birth and his baptism by John are unique to the Gospel of John. The author of John seems to intentionally leave out or add material beneficial to his intent to place emphasis on Jesus’ divinity.

    One of the most important evidence for this is the transformation of the disciples. Before and after the crucifixion the disciples were timid and fearful, they were terrified of being killed but something changed and that was the appearance of Jesus bodily risen from the dead. The moment they saw Jesus again they were all transformed because they knew the truth. They finally understood that Jesus was God incarnate and that he saves people from sin. That is why all the disciples had a radical change and became bold witnesses to everything they had seen, even to the point of dying for their beliefs.

  • Symbolism In The Gospel Of John

    The Gospel of John contains some of the most profound truth which is expressed in the simplest way. It is full of imagery and symbolism which though concise and limited bears deep spiritual meaning. In his book, The Interpretation of the fourth Gospel, C. H. Dodd must have been the first to identify the leading ideas and thus separate in form and function the allegories of the Gospel of John from the synoptic parables and connect them with the Old Testament and the Hellenistic-Jewish symbolic tradition. That is to say the author of this Gospel mostly uses common things present in the life and tradition of his listeners and uses them to make the divine understandable. Koester in his book on Symbolism in the Fourth Gospel says that:

    While the other gospels emphasize the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven, John instead emphasizes new life found in Jesus. It’s from John that we get Christ’s famous claim “I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me” -John 14:6. Jesus frequently uses metaphors to hint at his identity. John records more of these analogies than any other gospel, giving us some of the most famous word pictures for Christ.
