John 20:30-31 is the author's unequivocal statement that his purpose was to demonstrate and illustrate the deity of Jesus-to show that Jesus was God. John does not identify himself until the end of the book (v. 21:20,24), where he states that he "is the disciple whom Jesus loved", that is, John the Apostle, the most intimate earthly friend of Jesus. Ancient tradition and unbroken subsequent opinions have recognized his authorship, until the rise of modern criticism. The same class of critics who deny the Virgin Birth of Jesus, His deity, and His bodily resurrection have concluded that the author was not John the Apostle but another John of Ephesus. They base their hypothesis on an ancient, vague mention of a certain John the presbyter (elder) of Ephesus. This theory which would undermine the value of the book as a testimony to the deity of Jesus, is based on such flimsy evidence that it does not deserve serious consideration by Christian believers.
The parable of the Good Shepherd is a parable that is only found in the Gospel of John. It emphasizes Jesus as the Good Shepherd who cares for his sheep and is willing to lay down his life for them.
LukeAnswer:Matthew emphasizes Christ's public discourses to the "multitudes." John emphasizes His private discourses to His disciples (the twelve).
The four Gospels in the New Testament—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—offer different perspectives on the life and teachings of Jesus. Matthew emphasizes Jesus as the fulfillment of Jewish prophecies, while Mark highlights Jesus' actions and miracles. Luke provides a detailed account of Jesus' compassion and inclusivity, and John emphasizes Jesus' divine nature and spiritual teachings. Each Gospel writer tailored their message for their specific audience, resulting in slight variations in content and emphasis.
Jesus' life and a man's life
The life of Jesus can be found in the four gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
Part of Jesus' life.
No. They did not believe in a resurrection, and Jesus is the resurrection and the life, (John 11.25)
The gospel of John
In the books Mattew, Mark, Luke, and John. John mainly talks about who and what Jesus did in his life. I personaly recomend reading it. =)
Life can be struggle. Only if we make it so.
The pessimistic view of life is a belief that emphasizes the negative aspects of existence, such as suffering, hardship, and the inevitability of death. Pessimists tend to see the world as inherently flawed, filled with disappointment and pain, and may struggle to find meaning or purpose in life.
