THE GOSPEL OF JOHN

John 1:1-18

By WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D. Editor of Advance

HE lessons during the coming year take us over large fields of Bible interest far apart. Aiter a quarter’s study in the Gospel of | John; we shall in the second quariter eturn far back to study person- | alities and incidents recorded in the book of Genesis. I nthe third quarter, we shall proceed through the Liook of Exodus -to the story of God's part in the making of a nar tion.

Then, in the fourth quarter, we i shall return to we New Testament | tor a series of studies in the Christian life. The first lesson forthe year is {ro mthe prolog of John’s Gospel: The philosophical and mystical exposition of the reality of the eternal Christ, the Word that was in the beginning identified with God -in ciiaracter and creation, the source of life and light, the Word that became flesh incarnate in Jesus of Nazareth, full of grace and truth. John the Baptist was witness to this Bearer of Lift and Light, whose way he had come to prepare; and John, the author of this gospel, sets forth in this remarkable book to bear witness both before and after {he earthly ministry of Jesus. He ha sset himself the great task of recording the things .that Jesus did and said, the fullness of which, if they were all told, he suggests, would more than fill all the books of the world. Through charvcter and incidents, he unfolds sentence by sentence, chapter by chapter, the testimony to Jesus, the Son of God, and to the reality of the salvation that He brought to men.

” ” ” HE Gospel of John presents a succession. of witnesses: The witness of John the Baptist, and of Andrew, and Peter, as they bring others to Jesus that they may hear

F. | His words of love; the witness of

Jesus Himself in the great words df the third chapter; the witness of His mighty works; the witness of His foes in the violence with which they opposed His work of healing and salvation; and the witness of the closing days of His life in intimate association with His disciples with al} testimony coming to a climax in His death and resurrection, and His appearance to the disciples, reviving their faith. Here in the prolog, like a wellordered and careful writer, John is setting forth his thesis, the things that his gospel is going to prove: That Jesus came into the world as an incarnation of God, revealing life and light, giving to those who receive Him the right to become children of God, uplifting men into all the glory of their divine heritage and relationship.

” 2 a

T is the story of a Saviour who dwelt among men full of grace and truth, bringing something higher than law, in life and the fullness of truth and righteousness. “No man,” says the writer, “hath

seen Fod at any time.” But with this unseen God there may be the reality of a deep communion, for the Father is not seen by mortal eyes, but the eyes of the soul have seen the beauty of His love and grace. It is a marvelous thesis. . But it is. no more marvelous than the life that is its proof, for not only in this gospel, but in ‘other gospels as well we have the details of that early life of the Master. . They may vary as to the nature

world has acknowledged its richness, its beauty, and its greatness, and there are masses of men, baffled in their efforts to discover God who have found in Him the: supreme evidence of a divine and loving Yather. Father.

reality which Jesus Christ is—namely the Word of God. Central tr all that is Christian is Jesus Christ, not only to what God does in a man's soul but in the message the Church has to offer all men. He is “the pledge of God that he is still God and that his mind is a judgment of love toward children of men. To see in Jesus Christ the good will of God manifest in spite of all things to the contrary; is to have an anchorage and a dynamic for living that can not be surpassed in mortal history.” It is in the direction indicated in this volume that the development of Christianity in the coming generations is most likely to go. It will be of value both to preachers and churchmen to read this book and think out its implications. The deep concern of the writer which arouses in many, passages words of passionate import add greatly to the interest in the reading of this book on the deep things in life.
