The Gospel Of John

280 Words2 Pages

The Gospel of John is regularly identified as an example of this version of Christology.
It is implied in John that Jesus had existed previous to His incarnation. Herrick (2004) agrees that Jesus himself suggests his pre-existence in a number of examples, such as as he had glory with the Father before the world was (John 17:5) and that he had come from the father (John 5:43; 6:38).

John influences us to believe that Jesus is the promised one from God. The doctrine

All three of his points in the book are connected to help give the reader a better understanding of how complicated Jesus really was. If a single point was unknown to mankind, the other two points would become useless, without knowing who he was, we could not know what he did, or why it mattered, also not knowing what he did would make him insignificant to us, and lastly, not knowing why he matters would make any person think that he is just another revolutionary man.

He says "If we don't truly know what the gospel is, we have to find an explanation for Christianity." Meaning that if we do not know what the gospel is or what it is teaching us, then we try to define it by our own standards, and that is where it gets messy. Medearis talks about how Christianity is more than a religion, but it is a relationship and people tend to not understand that. He explains why people are so defensive and put up their guards towards Christians, because Christians can be so judgemental.
