JOhn: Seeing god
Who is Jesus? Early on, the historic church settled on answering this question with a four-fold gospel. In doing so, they preserved for us a rich portrait of Jesus. While the first three gospels highlight the humanity of Christ, the book of John stresses his divinity. In this gospel account, Jesus talks about "eternal life" instead of the kingdom. The early church compared John to an eagle, who soars above the clouds to show us glories untold. Our current sermon series is entitled “Seeing God” and reminds us that Jesus is more than human – he is God.
