John begins his gospel in a unique way. Not with the record of the birth of Christ, but with a defense of “who” He is. This foundation serves John’s purpose well. He has written his gospel “that you may believe” (John 20:31), and with faith as the target, it is essential to establish the foundation of that faith. For Christians, it is none other than the person and work of Jesus Christ. Listen to Pastor Steve’s sermon from John 1:1-5, 14-18.
