About this episode

Jeff Durbin discusses the identity of Jesus as presented in the Gospel of John, emphasizing His divine nature and role in bringing light to the world.

-Jeff Durbin- We are in our expositional study of St. John's Gospel. Today, we are listening to John expand upon the identity of the One He wants us to believe in and have life in. John 1:1-14 delivers a potent and unmistakable message about Jesus. John puts a fine point upon his explanation so as to make it impossible to distort without obvious distortion: Jesus is the eternal God, always in the presence of the Father, the One in Whom life itself originates, the One Who condescends and walks among us to bring light that obliterates darkness. This is John's Christ. The True Christ. Our Christ.
