The Gospel of John: Jesus on Trial
John tells us plainly what his purpose in writing the Gospel of John is, “Therefore many other signs Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name (Jn. 20:30-31).” This study of the book of John is called “Jesus On Trial.” Throughout the book we see language that is legal in nature, “witness/witnesses,” “testify/testimony.” In the first 12 chapters, we hear the testimony of different witnesses and see the evidence presented, especially through the miraculous signs performed by the defendant, Jesus. Chapters 13-17 present Jesus giving his upper room discourse to His disciples. Chapters 18-20 chronicle His trial, death and resurrection with chapter 21 serving as an epilogue. The questions posed are: Is Jesus indeed the Son of God? Is He the long-awaited Messiah? Is He God incarnate? Can He offer the forgiveness of sins and eternal life that only God can offer? As jurist, you are presented the witnesses, testimony, and evidence to make your own verdict as to who Jesus is. Will you believe?
