About this episode
This episode explores the importance of recognizing Jesus as the true revelation of God, as presented in the opening of John's Gospel.
If God has come near… do we recognize Him? Because it’s possible to: know the story… but miss the Savior; to be religious… but not have a relationship with God. That was the tragedy of the first century. And it is still the danger of the twenty-first. What we need is not more information about God, but an introduction to God. We need a true revelation of God. We need to see and know Jesus for who He truly is and the relationship He offers to know God. And that’s exactly what the opening of John’s Gospel gives us. It doesn’t begin with a manger…it begins with majesty! It begins “in the beginning.” And it pulls back the curtain and shows us who Jesus really is! In the gospel of John, he presented a beautifully poetic and theologically rich prologue to show that Jesus is the eternal Word who became flesh and tabernacled among us, revealing God’s glory and inaugurating the fulfillment of the Story.
