The Supernatural: The Holy Spirit of God at work in this world!
The Gospel of John
Matthew, Mark, and Luke write like kayakers on a fairly swift flowing river with occasional patches of whitewater; there is never any doubt but that they are going where the course of the river takes them. But John is more like a canoe on a quiet lake, drifting unhurried, paddling leisurely to take in aspects of the shoreline, noticing rock formations, observing a blue heron fishing in the rushes, pausing and drifting to sketch cloud patterns reflected in the glassy water.
-Eugene Peterson, Christ Plays in The Thousand Places
John’s Prologue: John presents Jesus in terms of space, time, and being in the introduction to his Gospel.
LOGOS – Jesus is the Word of God!
LIFE - Jesus is The Life!
LIGHT – Jesus is the Light of the World
