Capstone - Selections from the Apostolic Gospel of John

 

The capstone of a Roman arch makes it possible for the structure to stand, by pressing the mass downward and making it stable, long-lasting, and beautiful.


I am posting a series on the Gospel of John - more as selections and commentary - since the Fourth Gospel is ignored and disputed in these latter-days without saints. The Luther quotations will continue daily. Efficacy and the Book of Concord will also continue.

John's Gospel is the most important one, the first among equals, in several respects:

  • The Gospel assumes the content of the first three Gospels.
  • John's I AM sermons are unique and essential for understanding and believing.
  • John's special role makes the Gospel more personal.
