The Gospel of John - Part 3

This part opens up in John chapter 3. In verses 1-21 we see Jesus' encounter with Nicodemus, a Pharisee and Jewish ruler. Here Jesus tells Nicodemus, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God." (John 3:3)

And of course from there Jesus tells him what is probably the most famous verse in all of Scripture, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16)

Next in verses 22-36 we witness John the Baptist exalting Christ to his followers. John's disciples come to him complaining that everyone was going to Jesus to be baptized. And is verse 30 John explains to them, "He must increase, but i must decrease."

Chapter 4

The second half of the video focuses to the famous exchange between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at Jacobs well. Here Jesus tells her about "Living Water." The woman confesses to Jesus that she knows the Messiah is coming. And Jesus reveals to her in verse 26, "I who speak to you am He."


Enjoy and God bless
