Journey to The Journey

With that said, I believe we at The Journey have several reasons to tread through these apocalyptic waters. Upon the completion of the gospel of John (which I consider to be the most valuable time we've had together to this point) we find ourselves in a great position to transition into the last book of the Bible. Having walked through any of the gospels would be a great time to transition into Revelation but John is especially beneficial as the apostle John authored BOTH! By the time we begin Revelation we will have put in an entire year worth of study into Johannine literature, this is huge.

D.A. Carson writes, "Though it is not John's point, it has often been remarked that the authority of Jesus is so great that, had he not specified Lazarus, all the tombs would have given up their dead to resurrection life."

Last week in John 10:1-21 we studied about the reality of false teachers. Ironically, the very next section (John 10:22-42) is grossly misinterpreted by many false teachers today. Believe it or not, many false teachers will use this passage to say Jesus is not God and that we can all be gods (polytheism).
