Insight! with Garry Nation

My rendition of Marijohn Wilkin's beautiful folk-gospel song from 1975.

The Gospels of Matthew and Mark say that after his resurrection Jesus instructed his disciples that he would meet them in Galilee, but it is John who tells the story of how that happened; and it is John who tells us of the restoration of Simon Peter. John 21

Peter, John, and the other disciples have their own encounter with the risen Lord. And, as usual, John names names and tells stories that none of the other Gospels tell--including one that unintentionally gave one disciple an unfortunate and undeserved nickname. John 19:16-42

The first witness to the resurrection of Jesus was a surprise. This is Mary Magdalene's first appearance in this Gospel, but it is her most impactful moment in the Scriptures, and the story of her encounter is one of the most moving. John 20:1-18

John presents a vivid, stirring account of the crucifixion of Jesus. But, unlike the other Gospels which present this cluster of events from a compilation of stories, John does so as a singular eyewitness who has his own personal memory and his own sense of what is most important to tell. John 19:16-42.

The more we know about Pilate, the more we see he had good reasons for trying to save Jesus. Why did he fail? John 19:1-16.

Jesus is brought before Pilate, who asks him one of he most important questions anyone could ever ask. But why does he not wait for an answer? John 18:28-40

Jesus is betrayed, arrested, questioned, and denied. John 18:1-27

Jesus presents 3 petitions to his Father: to Glorify, Sanctify, and Unify. John 17.

Almost all of Jesus' teachings on prayer and the Holy Spirit in the Gospel of John are found in John 14-16, adding both content and context to those teachings found in the Synoptic Gospels. Jesus' promises are powerful, but it's important to interpret them in their own context. John 14:13-26; 15:7,8, 26; 16:1-15, 23-24.
