Overview and Objectives
When Thomas, one of Jesus’ disciples, saw the resurrected Christ, he declared, “My Lord and my God!” (John 20:28). Years later, Jesus’ close friend and follower John wrote, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.…And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth” (John 1:1-3,14). Another friend, Peter, in one of his letters to the early church, addressed his readers as “those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 1:1).
When you complete this lesson, you should be able to do the following:
- Trace the New Testament progression from perceiving Jesus as only a Teacher to acknowledging Him as Lord.
- Explain historic reliability for the existence of Jesus Christ.
- Show how Christ provides evidence for the honest skeptic
- Articulate an overview of the content of the gospel of John as provided in Knowing God Through John.
As you proceed through this lesson have the following question in mind.
It has been wisely said that the more you get to know someone, the clearer his or her shortcomings can be seen. Yet the New Testament claims that the disciple progressed from following Jesus as a teacher to worshiping Him as Lord. Why is this significant?
