Jesus meets a Samaritan woman at a well; and she comes to believe that He is the Messiah and bring others to faith as well. Then Jesus teaches of the joint participation of others (sowers and reapers) in God’s program of salvation.
John the Baptist’s final testimony of Jesus.
Nicodemus has an encounter with Jesus, where Jesus explains:
1. the necessity of the new birth to enter the kingdom
2. How the new birth is brought about
3. The means of how the new birth (eternal life) is accomplished in Him
In this teaching, we see Jesus at a wedding in Cana where He performs His first sign/miracle. And then we move to Jesus first cleansing of the temple in Jerusalem.
In this teaching, John the Baptist points out Jesus as the Messiah to his disciples. They began to follow Jesus and He accepts them as His first disciples. These disciples began telling others and they too followed Jesus. Nathanel first doubts, then also ultimately became the disciple of Jesus.
In this teaching, we have the interaction of John the baptist with the religious leaders as to whether or not he is the Messiah or some great spiritual figure. John denied these things but made them aware that the Messiah was presently among them.
