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.

We finally get to John’s primary point of His gospel, God becomes a man in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. In this teaching I also talk about God’s plan of salvation for the elect, giving a roundabout discussion of how He determined to accomplish this. Once God became a man, Jesus, He was full of grace and truth.
