Gospel of John emphasizes the of Jesus?

Answer 1

The Gospel of John is more mystical than any of the Synoptic Gospels. It emphasizes that Jesus Christ is the One who meditates between God and because he is humanity, true God and true man, in the unity of his divine person.

Answer 2

We write in a different style today. We are taught to state our purpose at the beginning of our writtings so the reader will know what they are going to be reading. It was common in biblical times to write this purpose at the end. This is what John did. In the following verse he states his purpose for writing the Gospel of John. People may not agree with it but we cannot change the original purpose of the author. This would not be honest scholarship.

JOH 20:31 but these have been written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name.

If you now read the book of John you can see how this theme is throughout the whole book.

Answer 3

Each gospel was written at a different time for a different readership and for a different purpose

The Gospel of Matthew was written to the Jews and shows that Christ is the rightful heir of the Abrahamic and Davidic covenants. Throughout the book Matthew shows that Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah.

The Gospel of Mark was written to the Roman/Gentile mind and focuses on the deity and mission of Christ. Mark records more of Jesus' miracles than sermons.

The Gospel of Luke was written to Theophilus and was intended to establish him in the Christian faith. Luke shows the blood-line-genealogy from Adam and presents Jesus as the son of Adam and the son of God.

The Gospel of John was written "……….that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name" - John 20:31. The gospel of John presents Christ as both God and man, a perfect union of two natures. In every chapter Jesus' deity is revealed and John emphasizes His true identity through titles - Word, only begotten, Lamb of God, Son of God, true Bread, Life, Resurrection, Vine,

All four gospels include Christ's last week and focus on His death and resurrection. This is what they consider to be the major purpose of God becoming man. He came to conquer sin and death through His crucifixion and resurrection.
