John

Bible readers recognize John's gospel as very different from Matthew, Mark, and Luke. John's gospel is not riddled with as many Jewish references as Matthew, not as fast paced as Mark, and not as sequentially arranged as Luke, but like members of the Christian family, John offers insight the others do not. John's major focus seems to be the deity of Jesus and the respect that demands. Jesus is the Logos, the creator, the wisdom, the presence of God with humans; He is God made flesh (John 1:11-14). He speaks the words of God. His actions are the actions of God. He follows the will of God. Resting on Jesus and pervading His existence, the Spirit of God moves with absolute power and authority, yet in complete harmony with the will of God. All Jesus did was predicted in the writings before He lived. Jesus revealed and exhibited the true meaning of scripture. Jesus' desires, feelings, thoughts and actions mirror the what the Father wants because, "I and the Father are one." - Jn. 10:30 He is Immanuel, God with us (Matthew 1:23). He is the Son who fully reveals the Father because he operates fully by the power of the Spirit (Luke 4:16-21; Acts 10:37-38).
