The Gospel of John (Course #607)
The book of John is the most theological of the four gospels. It presents a different narrative about Jesus’ person, life, ministry, death, and resurrection than the synoptic gospels. John emphasizes Jesus’ divinity, presenting him as Israel’s long awaited promised Messiah, themiracle worker, the savior of the world, the preexistent and incarnate Word of God who has revealed the Father to us. In this inspiring gospel, filled with symbolism and poetry, John reveals the plan of salvation of the Father, who sends his beloved Son to show the world hislove, a love so great, that he gave his life on the cross for humanity, and through his majestic resurrection, proved his divinity. The writer’s purpose is that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through this belief you may have life in his name

Evangelio de San Juan (Curso #607)
El Evangelio de San Juan es el más teológico de todos los Evangelios. Este evangelio nos presenta una narrativa diferente de la que nos presentan los evangelios sinópticos acerca de la persona de Jesús, su vida, ministerio, muerte y resurrección. Juan enfatiza la divinidad de Jesús, presentándolo como el Mesías tan esperado por Israel, que realiza milagros, el salvador del mundo, la Palabra de Dios preexistente y encarnada quien nos ha revelado al Padre. En este evangelio inspirado, lleno de simbolismo y poesía, Juan nos revela el plan de salvación del Padre, quien envía a su Hijo amado para mostrar su amor al mundo, un amor tan grande, que dio su vida en la cruz por la humanidad, y demostró su divinidad a través de su majestuosa resurrección. El propósito del escritor es que crean que Jesús es el Cristo, el Hijo de Dios, y que a través de esta creencia tengan vida en su Nombre (Jn 20:31).
