JESUS CHRIST IN THE WRITINGS OF JOHN
These lessons on Jesus Christ in the writings of John are central to the Christian message of hope and salvation. This is evident from the profound preamble of the Gospel to the climactic conclusion of the Revelation. Jesus Christ takes center stage and remains there. Jesus came from glory to grime, from heaven to hell, and at last returned from grave to glory. Why? Because He loves us so! He bore it all that we might live. Jesus is the Alpha and Omega, the Originator and Sustainer, the Message and the Messenger, the Savior, the Almighty King, the Judge. Above all, He is our hope and our salvation. He takes us seriously, so hopefully our study of the inspired Scriptures will help us take Him more seriously and into the very center of our hearts. May we bask in the tenderness of His care, His message from the Father, His exemplary living from day to day, His marvelous deeds, His commitment to our eternal welfare, His unparalleled sacrifice, and wondrous truths, and come to know that without Him as our helmsman we are like a drifting ship on a stormy sea. But with Him as our Pilot we can pass through the troubled waters and enter into the haven of rest.
