Message: “The Gospel of Re-Creation”
Knowing that something significant has happened isn’t the same as knowing the significance of that something.
In fact, the more significant the happening, the harder it is to fully understand its significance. Understanding significance takes time. Seeing context and connections and outcomes takes time. Knowing the significance of something is like looking at a painting. When you are close to it, all you see are brushstrokes and blobs of colour, but step back and the beauty, patterns, and the meaning comes into focus.
This week Grant begins a new series of messages that will take us through the Gospel of John. John’s Gospel was written last. John had the benefit of not only walking and talking with Jesus and truly knowing Him, but he also had the benefit of the inspired thoughts of the other gospel writers and time to look back and ponder.
In other words, John’s gospel has perspective. It is a gospel that focuses on, not only what Jesus did,and why He did it, but on who Jesus was. It is a gospel focused on significance. Join us on this journey of asking the very question John wants us to ask, the very question he seeks to answer: “Who is Jesus?”
