We have been in John's Gospel for nearly a year. When we began our study of this fourth Gospel, we drew attention to the fact that this Gospel presents the person of Jesus to its readers in a way that is distinct from the Synoptic Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Where they set forth the person of Jesus largely from the experience and perspective of the Apostles who were with Him, John's Gospel is quite different. John's Gospel is more of a revelation of the inner life of Christ, of His eternal, divine nature as well as His temporal, human nature. In John's Gospel we have more directly displayed the self-revelation of the Son of God Himself, even as it is related by the "beloved disciple"—the Apostle John. This emphasis of John's Gospel reveals Jesus Christ to us in quite a remarkable manner. Our understanding of Him is greatly enriched, and this may be quite transformative for us as the Holy Spirit reveals Him to us. For as we have sought to emphasize in this Gospel account, God grants to us true and rich spiritual life as we see Jesus as the sum and source of all life. As John said of Him, that in Him is life and He is the light of men (John 1:4). If your spiritual life seems to be rather stifled or stilted, seek to know Jesus Christ with great desire and effort. Ask God to reveal Him to you more clearly and fully, for in knowing Him, every spiritual blessing may be discovered and experienced. In Him are the blessings enjoyed by His kingdom citizens, including a life of joy, peace, freedom from fear, a sound mind, and a life of righteousness and most importantly, fellowship with God through Jesus Christ.
