The Gospel of John is an amazing Gospel. Written when the Apostle John was well into his eighties or even nineties, it is the only non-synoptic gospel; John is not so much concerned with a chronological history of Jesus' life. John is concerned that we understand "The Message" of Jesus. So, John doesn't mesh seamlessly with the other Gospels.What John does do, however, is give us a very personal peek inside the person and personality of Jesus.In the Gospel of John, Jesus is not a pleasant little blond guy, from the nice town of Nazareth, who comes to town to gently tell those, who might stop by to listen, that we ought to love one another, as long as it doesn't offend anyone . . .On the contrary: in John's Gospel, Jesus is a troublemaker who fearlessly gets in the face of the religious leadership, questions their authority and their motives, and brings a message designed to turn Jewish society upside down.Not your image of Jesus? Perhaps yours is colored by misunderstandings and misrepresentations. They didn't sentence Jesus to death on a cross because He said "Love one another". Why then?In Do You Know Who I AM: Rogue, Rebel, Redeemer, we look closely at the Jesus that John describes and try to discover who this Jesus was, why he caused such as stir, and what he means to us today.Read it if you dare!Pressing on toward the goal . . .RevDrKid
