An Exposition of The Gospel of John

Jesus begins privately teaching his disciples before he goes to the cross. He begins by washing their feet. In this act, Jesus shows the servant's heart and commands His disciples to follow His example. As a testimony to the world, we are called to show His glory and grace through serving one another.

Though Jesus had preached and done many miracles, they did not believe in him. John shows us the fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecies in their unbelief. Some of their hearts were hardened, some would not confess him openly. Yet, Jesus gives a final public plea and a warning.

Jesus enters Jerusalem riding on a donkey in fulfillment of Zechariah's prophecy. He is hailed as the King of Israel, but no one truly saw what He was coming to conquer. Sin and death. Jesus tells them what they must do to follow Him.

John presents the difference between true sacrificial worship in Mary anointing Jesus' feet, and self serving religion in Judas.

John presents the effects that Jesus' miracle of raising Lazarus has on the people. The same effects are seen today. His word divides, it is always opposed, but it will always be accomplished. Most urgently, His work elicits a response from people. There is no such thing as neutral.

Jesus calls Mary to Himself and is overcome with emotion at the scene which ensues. He demonstrates that although He is Lord and sovereign in His purposes, He also feels deeply with His people who are grieved. And He demonstrates His purpose to bring many to faith, having power over death.

As Mary and Martha send word to Jesus that their brother Lazarus is sick, Jesus shows in his words and deeds that his highest priority is for all involved to see the Glory of God, follow him, and grow in their faith. Jesus doesn't come when they call but instead waits so that they might receive a greater gift.

Jesus gives a final invitation to the Jewish leadership in the gospel of John. He urges them to hear his words and heed the testimony of the works he has done in the Father's name. However, the leaders respond by trying to silence Jesus and refusing him despite the testimonies. But there are always those who respond rightly in faith to Jesus.
