JOHN WORK SHEET 2

Study Notes

Christ's Names Prove He is God's Son

Jesus is the Word (John 1:1-3, 14) revealing God's mind and heart. As the Alpha and Omega (Revelation 22:13), He spells out God's love for us.
Jesus is the Light (John 1:4-13), the source of all light, in contrast to darkness (Satan). Just as light overcomes darkness, salvation enters the sinner’s heart.
Jesus is the Son of God (John 1:15-18, 30-34, 49), a claim that led to persecution. Seven individuals in John's Gospel acknowledge Him as the Son of God, including John the Baptist and Peter.
Jesus is the Christ (John 1:19-28, 35-42), the Messiah, the Anointed One, eagerly awaited by the Jews, including the Samaritans.
Jesus is the Lamb of God (John 1:29, 35-36), fulfilling the role of the sacrificial lamb foreshadowed in Old Testament sacrifices. Unlike Old Testament sacrifices, Christ's blood takes away sin completely for the whole world.
Jesus is the King of Israel (John 1:43-49). Even though many wished for a king to free them from Roman rule, the chief priests rejected Jesus as their king.
Jesus is the Son of Man (John 1:50-51), a title taken from Daniel 7:13-14, signifying His divine nature. He is the bridge between Heaven and earth, making God known and bringing humanity to God.

Christ's Works Prove He is God's Son

Jesus created the world (John 1:1-4), acting as God's divine agent.
Jesus gives men salvation (John 1:9-13), a free gift received through belief and acceptance. New birth comes from God, not from human effort.
Jesus reveals God (John 1:15-18), presenting God's grace and truth, while Moses revealed the law that reveals sin and condemns.
Jesus baptizes with the Spirit (John 1:33), showing the Trinity: Father, Son, and Spirit. The Holy Spirit’s presence confirmed Christ's identity to John.
Jesus has intimate knowledge of men (John 1:42, 47-48), seeing into their hearts, a divine attribute.
Jesus forgives sin (John 1:29), a power beyond human capability.
Jesus opens the way to heaven (John 1:50-51), becoming the staircase to glory, offering salvation and access to Heaven.

Witnesses Prove That Christ Is God's Son

John the Baptist (John 1:7, 15, 29) is one of the key witnesses who baptized Jesus.
John the Apostle (John 1:14): "We beheld His glory..."
The Old Testament prophets (John 1:30, 45) anticipated Christ's coming.
The Holy Spirit (John 1:33-34) identified Christ to John.
Andrew (John 1:41), a soul-winner, found Christ through John the Baptist.
Philip (John 1:45) supported his testimony with Scripture.
Nathanael (John 1:49) found Christ through the Word and Philip's witness.

These witnesses had personal encounters with Christ and suffered for their faith. Their testimonies are credible and trustworthy.
