The Gospel Of The Messiah Part 17

INTRO: I have greatly struggled to know how to handle so much material in one message in order to get somewhere in the four Gospels. It has been my decision to concentrate largely on the historical setting. I think that when you read through the Gospels, the historical setting and time in which the Gospels were written will be most helpful for you. It is my aim to go through chapter four of the Gospel of John this morning.

Let me just mention that if it were not for John's Gospel, we would have no information of the life of Christ from after Christ's temptation, until some months later, when He began to minister in the Galilee region. John fills in some of the information of that time. That information includes John 1:19 all the way through chapter 5. We are in chapter 4 this morning, and once more I must give you some historical information.
