Today we start a new study through the Gospel of John, chapter by chapter. Written by John, “the Apostle that Jesus loved”, he portrays Jesus as not just the Son of God, but the Light and Savior of the World. He introduces Jesus as “The Word” — in Greek, “Logos”. I found a nice explanation in the Bible study plan, “21 Days in the The Gospel of John”, with Levi Lusko, in the free YouVersion Bible app…
The apostle John begins his Gospel with the concept of Jesus as “the Word,” or in the Greek, “logos.” This idea is one familiar to anyone who was in the Greek-speaking Roman Empire at the time. It was a word used to attribute credit to something you couldn’t really understand. It conveys the relationship between a thought and speech; between an idea and its expression. John shows how Jesus, this “logos” that he describes as fully God, took on flesh and dwelt on earth in such a way that man could behold the glory of the Father.

In this Gospel, we’ll meet Jesus, God made visible. Or God wrapped in human form. As we mature in our Christian spiritual journey, getting to know Jesus is crucial. The Gospel of John will help you do that and truly follow Jesus. Let’s dig in…
Jesus said, “Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches.” ~ Revelation 3:22 NLT – This phrase is repeated 14 times in scripture. Kind of gives the idea that God wants us to pay attention.
If you want to reap all the benefits of salvation including the 1-way, non-stop ticket to Heaven then…
Believe. Repent. Be Baptized. Receive the Holy Spirit.
Pray this prayer humbly and wholeheartedly…
“Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe You died for my sins. Please forgive me. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and my life to you. I confess You as my personal Lord and Savior. I surrender my whole life to you and I will follow you for the rest of my life. Thank You, Jesus, for saving me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
Jesus is coming back soon! Are you ready?
Soli Deo Gloria — To God Alone Be the Glory!
