The Gospel of John

One of the best things about being part of The Gospel According to The Gospels podcast series was speaking with lots of different people about what is the good news of Jesus. Deb Snoddy is a Biblical Studies lecturer at Catholic Institute of Sydney and founding member of the SCD Centre for Gospels Research. She’s a big fan of John’s Gospel and had a terrific expression for what it reveals to us about the Gospel of Jesus Christ: ‘Dragging us back up to where we truly belong, with God.’

What do you think of that? Deb offered that as a neat summary of the purpose of Jesus descending from the heavens to earth. Yes, there’s much more to what Deb shared about the Gospel according to John’s Gospel, but it’s worth pausing here. Do you believe Jesus came to show us the way back to God?

Jesus clearly declared He’s the only way to God the Father. If you know and believe that, then how does that Gospel truth instruct and guide you?
