How does the world react to Jesus being the light of the world? John 1:10-11 says, "He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him." Most people don’t recognize Jesus as light. In fact most people flat out reject Jesus. But there's hope! John 1:12-13 tells us, "But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God." Believing in Jesus' name means...

Welcome to Sixty Second Christianity. I’ve begun a series of episodes looking at the gospels - Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

This verse tells us that Jesus is eternal. He was with God and is God. John emphasizes that Jesus, the divine Word, became flesh and dwelt among us.

With this episode, we begin a series through the gospels. I’m not sure how long it will take, but I’m looking forward to it. Let's start with this question: What does "gospel" mean?
