John Author: John, the son of Zebedee. He is not mentioned by name as the author, but refers to himself as the one the Lord loved, meaning he was a good friend of Jesus. So this gospel is written by someone who was with Jesus. Date: ca.50-60's AD most likely, until recently it was believed to have been written later like ca. 85-90 Purpose: John 20:31 - John wrote the book of John so that we might believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Promised one, the Son of God, and that by believing we might have life in His name. The Gospel of John has been used to bring many people to Christ. Relationship with the other Gospels: ⁃ prologue - John 1:1-18. ⁃ 90% of the Gospel of John is unique to this gospel. Because it is so different than the other gospels, some have thought it is contradictory, but different does not mean contradictory. Festivals - We see Jesus as the one who fulfills them. ⁃ Passover (2:13, 6:4, 13:1 - also 5:1?) ⁃ Tabernacles (7:2) - Sukkot ⁃ Dedication (10:22) Hanukkah 'Insider Information' - John especially records Jesus' private conversations and encounters. The Prologue of John - John 1:1-18 - John starts this gospel off in a way that none of the other authors of the Gospels do. John begins with the same words that the Old Testament begins with, "In the beginning". The intent is to show us that Jesus goes all the way back to the beginning. In Genesis 1:1-3 it says, " In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, 'Let there be light," and there was light.'" In John 1:-5 we read that The Word is Jesus: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." John starts off his gospel with the answer to "Who is Jesus?" The answer - Jesus is God, He is the Living Word of God who has come down to earth to save us. We see that there is no creation without Jesus. We see light and darkness, life and death. Jesus breaks into our world as the Light and as Life. The opening chapter of John tells us in verse 14 and 18 the following: "The Word (Jesus) became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known." If we want to know what God the Father is like? We only need look at Jesus. God is Christ-like. Chapter 2 - Opens with "on the third day" which is a Tuesday. First day of the week is Sunday (as the Sabbath is Saturday). Monday is the second day of the week. So the book opens on a Tuesday which is the traditional day in Jesus' day for Jewish weddings. Jesus, his family and his disciples are at a wedding in Cana. The wine runs out and Jesus' mother lets Him know the wine has run out. Jesus' responds, "'Woman, why do you involve me?' Jesus replied. 'My hour has not yet come.'" Jesus' use of the word "woman" in His day was a form of honor, humility and great respect. "Woman" might be better translated, "honored Mother, or dearest Mother. Mary tells the servants to do whatever Jesus tells them to do. This is what we should always do, "do what Jesus tells us to do." This is how we are to live. Then the servants fill the water jars with water and Jesus turns the water into wine. Many consider this a frivolous miracle. But it is not - there is much significance. ⁃ The miracle is performed at a Jewish wedding - In Jewish culture the betrothal starts with the man pledging himself to his bride and takes a cup of wine and makes a solemn covenant - he is saying with this wine that he is willing to die for his bride, pledging his life to the bride. And the woman as she receives the wine is saying the she will be wholly committed to the bridegroom. The betrothal is a foreshadowing of The Last Supper. And is a picture of the feast to come in heaven. ⁃ In this "water into wine" first miracle, Jesus shows everyone that He is the Messiah, the One who will lay down His life for His bride and He is the One who will bring rejoicing to the people of God.
