Sermons on the Gospel of John (I) - The Love of God Revealed through Jesus, The Only Begotten Son (I)

Ch1-1_Jesus Christ，Our Life (John 1:1-4)

John chapter 1 describes Jesus as the Creator of the entire universe. If we were to compare ourselves to the boundless universe that God created, we would realize what small and dismal creatures we are. This is why we cannot thank God enough for being able to meet such great God. It was the greatest of all miracles. Even now, I think that it is the greatest of all miracles that I have met with God, who came by the gospel of the water and the Spirit. Jesus was the Creator, who created this vast universe that spreads millions upon millions of light years wide. God has also prepared the eternal Truth and the true salvation, which are invisible to our eyes. God is truly an amazing God. God’s utmost work was creating humans, out of all other God’s creations, as His own children.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/  [https://www.bjnewlife.org/] https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission  [https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission] https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35  [https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35]

Ch1-2_We Must Be Born of God (John 1:12-18)

We have to believe in Jesus Christ our Savior, who came by the gospel Truth of the water and the Spirit, in order to receive salvation from all our sins. John 1:10 says, “He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.” Here, the phrase “He was in the world” implies that Jesus Christ has actually existed in this world. The Lord is the Creator of this world. Thus, the Creator of this world came to the creatures He had created and lived together with among them. However, nobody in this world, not even the Jews, recognized Him as the Savior.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/  [https://www.bjnewlife.org/] https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission  [https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission] https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35  [https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35]

Ch1-3_The Love of God Revealed through Jesus，the Only Begotten Son (John 1:15-18)

In today’s Scripture passage, we can see that John the Baptist, who had baptized Jesus, and the Apostle John the gospel writer are witnessing to us about Jesus, who has become our Lord and Savior: “John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, ‘This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me’’” (John 1:15). John the Baptist witnessed about Jesus Christ by saying, “When He comes, He will judge with the fire and deliver with the water.” The Apostle John witnessed about Jesus, saying, “And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. For the law was given through Moses, but the grace and truth came through Jesus Christ” (John 1:16-17). Furthermore, it continues on, saying, “No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him” (John 1:18). There is no one among us who has seen God through the naked eye. However, we are able to see Him through the one and only begotten Son of God who was at the bosom of the Father. This means that only Jesus Christ, who was in the bosom of the Father, had revealed to us what God is like.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/  [https://www.bjnewlife.org/] https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission  [https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission] https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35  [https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35]

Ch1-4_The Truth That John the Baptist Testified (John 1:19-28)

John 1:6-7 says, “There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe.” Here in this passage, ‘John’ is not the author of the Gospel of John, the Apostle, but John the Baptist who was God’s promised Elijah to come. As it is prophesied in Malachi 4:5, we can understand how the Gospel Truth is being witnessed by John the Baptist.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/  [https://www.bjnewlife.org/] https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission  [https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission] https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35  [https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35]

Ch1-5_The Biblical Evidence That Jesus Bore All the Sins of the World (John 1:29-39)

How weak is a human being? As we begin to think about this question, we should not place our hearts in high places. A person should know his fundamental nature and humble his heart. What is a human being? I am asking what a human being is at its fundamental level. When we examine ourselves as human beings, do we really live by lofty ideals, excellent abilities, power, and perspectives? In actuality, we fall short of these qualities. We may have lofty ideals in our heads but people cannot live up to their ideals by themselves. We are such weak beings.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/  [https://www.bjnewlife.org/] https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission  [https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission] https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35  [https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35]
