John: Meet the Son
Episode description
The gospel of John is so poetic, only a sonnet is fit to describe it!
In the beginning, Word eternal shone,
A light that pierced the dark of ancient skies.
Through signs and wonders hath His glory grown,
And called men’s hearts to see through veiled eyes.
Behold the Lamb, whose blood doth cleanse the stain,
The Passover fulfilled in Him alone.
In "I am" truths, His might and love are plain,
To draw all souls to bow before His throne.
No parables adorn this Gospel’s tale,
But speeches rich with wisdom, deep and pure.
Three feasts doth mark redemption’s holy trail,
Where mercy’s work in Him shall e'er endure.
Take up this tome, and read of heav’n’s design,
The Word made flesh, eternal and divine.
