Addresses on the Gospel of John

The enriching comments of Dr. Ironside on the Gospel of John are now presented complete in a single volume for ready reference. These addresses have already been of great blessing when delivered in the Moody Memorial Church of Chicago, broadcast over WMBI, and published as a two-volume set. In the Gospel of John we see the Eternal Son descend from the open heavens to take His place in the womb of the Virgin and become God and Man in one -- the Eternal Word manifest in the flesh. By selecting just eight miracles and a number of discourses of the Lord, John establishes emphatically the truth of His Divinity and Deity. Here we go back beyond human genealogy into past eternity. "In the beginning" in verse one, as in Genesis 1:1, antedates the beginning of creation, for the Son was in the bosom of the Father long before creation began. John's double purpose is to reveal the Father to man and to redeem man to God. The Eternal Word, having become flesh, moves about among men to glorify the Father and reveal the mind of God. In the first twelve chapters the divine Son is presented to the world with such characteristics as would appeal to a world of sinners. From chapter 13 to the end we have the revelation of our Lord Jesus to His own beloved people as the Son, the One who keeps their feet free from defilement. Christ's advocacy and care for His people while He was on earth is marvelously unfolded in John's gospel. Following this He lays down His life that men may share His glory for all eternity. In conclusion He promises to send the Comforter, who will guide into all truth, until He comes again in glory at the end of the dispensation. -- Jacket flap.
