Investigative Study of John

PARA COMER ~ FOOD FOR THE SOUL
Bill Bright, founder of Campus Crusade for Christ, said "One day some years ago, I was speaking on a large university campus. A young radical student confronted me. I later discovered he was the head of the Communist Party on this big campus. He didn't like the idea that I was encouraging students to follow Christ as their Lord and Savior. He had other plans for these students. Rather than argue, I invited him to come to our home for dinner, which he did. He was a very brilliant and articulate young man. After dessert, I picked up my Bible and said, "I want to read something to you from the Bible." He reacted with obvious irritation. "I have read the Bible from cover to cover," he exclaimed. "It's a ridiculous book. It's filled with contradictions, lies and myths. I don't want to hear anything from the Bible." I replied, "If you don't mind, I will read it anyway." I began to read to him from the Gospel according to John 1:1-2, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

When I concluded reading, he said, "Let me see that -- I don't remember reading that." He read it thoughtfully, then handed the Bible back to me without comment. He was very sober. After reading a couple of other passages from God's inspired Word, this young man was obviously very moved. His entire countenance had changed. We chatted briefly, and after a time as he stood to leave, I asked him if he would write in our guest book. He penned his name and address, after which he wrote these words, which I shall never forget: "The night of decision, a decision to receive and follow Christ."

This was the motive as to why John wrote this gospel, "that you might believe." The Word is eternal; the Word is in relationship to God, the Father; and the Word is God. John confronts his readers with claims of Jesus that demand a personal response. This is why the gospel of John is read by so many seekers and new believers.

As you venture out to tell others about the love of Christ, as a leaving piece give them a copy of the gospel of John, if you don't have one, encourage them to read a chapter a day in their bible or online. The gospel of John is a great place to begin learning about Jesus Christ.

God Bless, Pastor Alex
