The Gospel of John (Part II)
By T. W. Parker As promised, this week, we will delve into the comparisons within the Synoptic Gospels, specifically Matthew, Mark, and Luke, and how they differ from the Gospel of John.

“The Gospel of John”
By T. W. Parker About the author: Like the Gospels according to Matthew, Mark, and Luke, the Fourth Gospel (also known as John’s Gospel) does not explicitly state its author’s name. Also, as far as we can prove, the title “According to John” (still used in certain translations like the KJV) was attached to it…

Jesus the Messiah, Savior, and Lord
By T. W. Parker All four Gospels present Jesus of Nazareth as the fulfillment of (OT) Messianic promises and expectations. Matthew casts Jesus as the son of Abraham and David (Matt. 1:1). As Immanuel, “God with us” (Matt. 1:23, 28:20, NIV). Throughout his Gospel, Matthew shows that Jesus fulfilled (OT) Messianic predictions in virtually every…

“Believers As Priests”
By T. W. Parker God’s intention for humanity is perfect fellowship with Him in His holy realm. He entrusted Adam and Eve with the privilege of tending and extending His realm throughout the earth, a privilege that (Gen. 1:1, NIV) depicts in both royal and priestly terms. Their rebellion necessitated their expulsion from God’s holy…

“GENESIS AND THE NEW TESTAMENT”
By T. W. Parker The book of Genesis lays the foundation for salvation history. As a result, it is no surprise that the text has numerous connections with the (NT). Consequently, four stand out; Paul repeatedly describes the sins and judgments of (Gen. 3) and applies them to the redeeming work of Christ. Indeed, this…

“The Wrath to Come”
BY T. W. Parker The wrath of God presently rests on all those outside of Christ (John. 3:18, 36, NIV) and is currently being revealed against ungodliness (Rom. 1:18) and is related to the existing state of condemnation that characterizes the universal human condition (Rom. 5:12-21, Eph. 2:3). Also, the wrath of God is not…

“You Must be Born Again”
BY T. W. Parker According to Scripture, Jesus and Nicodemus meet at night and have a one-on-one conversation (John. 3) Nicodemus is a religious leader, a (Pharisee) and a distinguished teacher who is, at this point, interested in Jesus but not particularly open to the truth: Jesus signs are the conversation starter but not a…

“Hope in the Resurrection”
By T. W. Parker “Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus…

“The Need for Self-Discipline”
By T. W. Parker “Do you not know that in a race, all runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do…
