THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JOHN

Introduction

The Author The apostle John does not name himself but states that he is the writer of this Gospel (21:24-25). He and James were the sons of and Salome, the latter probably the sister of our Lord’s mother (19:25), and was born in of . His intimate relations with are indicated by the expression “the be- loved disciple” (13:23), and it has been said he was able to give men “the heart of Christ.” Clement of Alexandria (215 A.D.) says, “Last of all, John, observing that in the other Gospels those things were related that concerned the body (of Christ), and being persuaded by his friends and also moved by the Spirit of God, wrote a spir- itual Gospel.” Speaking of the four Gospels, Gregory Nazianzen (390 A.D.) says, “Matthew wrote the wonderful works of Christ for the Jew; Mark for the Roman; Luke for the Greeks; John, a herald, who reaches the very heavens, for all.” Irenaeus (202 A.D.), the pupil of Polycarp who was the friend and pupil of St. John, accepted this Gospel and says that John “for sixty years after the Ascension preached orally, till the end of Domitian’s reign; and after the death of Domitian having returned to Ephesus, he was induced to write (his Gospel) concerning the divinity of Christ, co-eternal with the Father; in which he refutes those heretics, Cerinthus and the Nicolaitans.” It is quite certain that Justin Martyr (165 A.D.) used this Gospel, and that it was combined with the others in the Diatessaron of Tatian (about 170 A.D.). In the reign of Domitian (81-96 A.D.), John was banished to Patmos and after- wards returned to Ephesus. He lived in that city to an extreme old age, the last of the Twelve Apostles. It is generally held that he wrote his Gospel in that city and not long before his death, and as indicated by Clement, at the request of Christian friends. The Purpose Nearly a generation after the other Gospels had been written this Gospel was prepared which shows that the life and labors of Jesus were at this time well known to Christians. In the meantime the apostles had preached the Gospel, Paul

3 and Peter had suffered martyrdom, and all the other apostles had passed to their reward, and was destroyed by the Romans. The style of this Gospel is simple but the thought is profound. Its great design is to set forth the divinity of our Lord as the basis of faith, and to meet the spir- itual needs, not of a particular mindset, Jew, Roman or Greek, but of all men, and hence it is called “the spiritual Gospel,” and “The Gospel for the Church.” It states its purpose, “But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name” (20:31). This will explain why John does not record the facts relative to the birth and early life of Jesus, and instead of giving a genealogy declares “In the beginning was the Word,” (1:1) why certain great miracles are given (not recorded by the others), and why instead of parabolic teaching this Gospel contains the great spir- itual discourses that do not appear in the Synoptic Gospels. The Gospel of the Divine Word The design of this Gospel, to set forth the divinity of our Lord, is indicated by the opening statement—that the Word is God. Thus we see that the ad- dresses more than one as God, but it is Trinity and not tri-theism. That the deity of Christ is here distinctly declared cannot be disputed. The same truth was de- clared by Christ and He permitted others to do so. If He knew Himself to be other than Divine, He would have corrected others who invested Him with that charac- ter. In support of the divinity of Christ, John records seven great miracles: water turned into wine, healing the nobleman’s son at a distance, feeding the five thou- sand, walking on the water, healing the man born blind, raising Lazarus to life, the draught of fishes after the resurrection. Matthew and Mark make use of the walking on the water, and all four record the feeding of the five thousand. The other five are recorded by John alone. Healing the nobleman’s son at a distance, and raising Lazarus to life after he had been dead four days, were most unusual and gave His divinity an outstanding character. As his opening words announce the divinity of the Word, so the closing words of the Gospel state that the design was to establish this great truth as the basis of faith. In other words, that faith is groundless if Jesus Christ is not the Divine Son of God. The Spiritual Gospel This Gospel meets the spiritual needs of the soul, whether Jew or Gentile. To this end John gives the great discourses: new birth; Christ the water of life; the

4 bread of life; the ; the way, the truth, the life; the vine; the resur- rection and the life. Thus the divinity of our Lord appears in His words as well as in His works. It is in these great discourses that the deeper spiritual relation of Christ to His Church appears. These profound spiritual truths are not expressed in parabolic form. The reader has noted by the Outline, and has probably noticed the fact in reading this Gospel, that John does not record any of the parables of the other Gospels and that none of its statements take a parabolic form. He uses figures of speech and illustrations, but not parables, in the proper sense of the word. He is communi- cating God’s truth straight to the reader’s heart.
