II. John’ Gospel Proves Jesus Christ Is God A. Jn. 1:1-18 The Word Was God:

The Full Expression of God’s Will & PurposeVv. 1-3 The Word was God from eternity, Creator of all things

13

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Vv. 1-3 The Word was God from eternity, Creator of all things


14


The Full Expression of God’s Will & PurposeVv. 4-13 He is the source of life & light, the Savior of all men

15

4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. 6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

Vv. 4-13 He is the source of life & light, the Savior of all men

16

10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

Vv. 4-13 He is the source of life & light, the Savior of all men


17


The Full Expression of God’s Will & PurposeVv. 14-18 He is the full & final revelation of God, greater than John & Moses

18

14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Vv. 14-18 He is the full & final revelation of God, greater than John & Moses

19

15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. 16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. 17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. 18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

Vv. 14-18 He is the full & final revelation of God, greater than John & Moses


20

II. John’ Gospel Proves Jesus Christ Is God B. Jesus Claimed to be God, the Eternal I AM

Ex. 3:14 is the basis of his claim

14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.


21


Jn. 6:35 I AM: the source of eternal life

35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.


22


Jn. 8:12 I AM: the light of salvation to all

12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.


23


Jn. 8:58 “I AM:” greater than Abraham

58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.


24

II. John’ Gospel Proves Jesus Christ Is God B. Jesus Claimed to be God, the eternal I AM

Jn. 9:5 I AM: the light to the blind

5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.


25


Jn. 10:7, 9 I AM: the door to salvation

7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.


26


Jn. 10:11, 14 I AM: the good shepherd

11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.


27


Jn. 11:25 I AM: the source of all life

25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:


28


Jn. 14:6 I AM: the way, truth, & life

6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.


29


Jn. 15:1, 5 I AM: the vine planted by the Father to produce the fruit of saved souls

1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

40

B. Heb. 1:4-8 The Father Told the Angles to Worship the Son as God
