Summary of John-Part 2
What is the spiritual character of God? When the Samaritan woman encountered Jesus, she first saw a Jew, then a prophet, and finally the Messiah. (Falwell)
God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. (4:24)
She knew the Messiah was coming and called Christ. Jesus proclaimed to her that He is the Messiah. Many Samaritans believed on Jesus because of the woman's testimony. (verse 39)
They said: We have heard Him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world. (verse 42)
Jesus had several witnesses to His claim: John the Baptist (5:33-35), His works (verse 36), the Father (verses 37-38), the Scriptures (verses 39-47).
Peter had assurance: And we believe and are sure that thou art the Christ, the son of the Living God. (verse 69)
John wrote the claims of Christ to be the "I AM:"
- *bread of life (6:35)
- *the light of the world (8:12; 9:5)
- *the door (10:7)
- *the good shepherd (10:11. 14)
- *the resurrection and the life (11:25)
- *the way, the truth, and the life (14:6)
- *the true vine (15:1).
