“The Gospel according to St. John”
Wednesdays, April 11th, 18th, 25th, May 2nd & 9th
Redeemer Lutheran 6:30-8:00
The Gospel according to St. John is unlike the other three gospels that come before it—in content, in tone, in sequence, and in interpretation of Jesus’ ministry. John is the Gospel that gives us soaring phrases like, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God.” We also get some unique and interesting characters: Nicodemus, Nathaniel, the Samaritan Woman at the well, Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. We also get some of Jesus’ greatest miracles: changing water into wine, healing of the paralytic, healing a man born blind, and the raising of Lazarus from the dead. This gospel also uses simple vocabulary to express theological truths: light and darkness, sight and blindness, slavery and freedom; truth and falseness. And most of all, the glory of God in Christ is revealed exactly where we would never look—on the cross! Come on Wednesday evenings in April and May to learn about this interesting and inspiring gospel!
