When John the Apostle died
toward the end of the First Century, he left behind him a team of highly
literate disciples. By pooling their
fondest memories of John’s themes, they composed a Gospel that is the
finest, most intricate Bible book come down to us.
Nothing in the Scriptures or
elsewhere, can approach this gospel’s first chapter’s account of the pre-existence
of Jesus as the Word of God
Those disciples gave us a narrative in
which Jesus, leading us to our promised land, echoes the narrative by which the Father led the
Israelites to their Promised Land. Here too are the road marks of bread from
heaven water from a rock, a cloud that leads us through the dark.
