The Life and Happenings of the Apostle John

·       John had an earnest heart of compassion for the children of God to know their Father
  • All thru his writings we see the love of God portrayed to build up the body of Christ
And these things we write to you that your joy may continue to be fulfilling.
1 John 1:4
·       The Apostle John had a close, personal relationship with Jesus and his writings reflect this.
  • Look at the wording John uses in 1 John 1:4.
    • He is all alone in a cave writing this letter and he uses the word “we”
    • Who else is with him? I think John was writing this knowing Jesus was right there with him.
  • John’s writings show the love of God and the Father’s desire for a family.
  • The Apostle John and the Prophet Daniel were both given the Revelation of the end times
    • and both were called the “beloved of God”, Dan 10:11, Jn 13:23, 19:26, 21:7, 20
More than any other writer, John portrays the relationship of God the Father and us as His children
Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!
1 John 3:1
PictureJohn was a fisherman by trade
·       The Apostle John was born around 10AD
·       John was one of the sons of Zebedee and a fisherman by trade who was in partnership with his brother James (He was not John the Baptist)
  • These two men were called by Jesus, “Sons of Thunder”, Mk 3:17. Fire from heaven, Lk 9:54.
    • John was not a weak, cowardly man that is usually portrayed in popular paintings
    • He was a man’s man. A son of thunder. A working man full of the love of God.​

PictureJesus calls John and James
​·       Most likely a disciple of John the Baptist
  • John and his brother James were like many in that time, looking and expecting the Messiah
  • They were followers of John the Baptist, being taught of the Messiah
When Jesus asked John and James to follow Him, this wasn’t the first time they had heard or met Jesus


PictureJohn lays his head on Jesus bosom
·       John had a close relationship with Jesus during the three year ministry
  • John referred to himself as the one whom Jesus loves, Jn 13:23, 19:26, 21:7, 20
  • John laid his head on Jesus’ bosom at the last supper, Jn 13:23, 21:20
    • Peter asked John to find out from Jesus who the betrayer was, Mk 3:17.

  • Jesus chose John to take care of His mother Mary after His departure, Jn 19:25-27.

PictureThe Jerusalem Council 50AD
·       After the resurrection and ascension of Jesus, John resides in Jerusalem proclaiming the Gospel, Acts 3:11, 4:13.
  • When the Apostles heard that Samaria received the Gospel, Peter and John were sent to Samaria to preach, Acts 8:14.
  • We know John was still residing in Jerusalem in 50AD because he was at the Jerusalem Council
    • Paul identifies him as a pillar of the church, Acts 15, Gal 2.​

PictureNero's Circus and Christian Martyrs
·       Great persecution and famine in Jerusalem
  • There was a terrible famine that started in 46AD along with great persecution from Rome and the Jews
    • This was recorded by Josephus and prophesied by Agabus, Acts 11:28
    • Nero reigned from 54 – 68AD, persecuting Christians
    • Paul collects a contribution to support the church in Jerusalem because of the famine and hardship during his 3rd missionary journey from54-58AD, Rom 15:25-26, 1Cor 16:1-4.
  • Sometime after the martyrdom of Peter and Paul in 66AD at the hand of Nero, and before the fall of Jerusalem in 70AD, the Apostles residing at Jerusalem were disbursed.
    • according to Eusebius, John was given Asia and resided in Ephesus, Euseb 3.1.
I. [1] SUCH was the condition of things among the Jews, but the holy Apostles and disciples of our Saviour were scattered throughout the whole world. [2] Thomas, as tradition relates, obtained by lot Parthia, Andrew Scythia, John Asia (and he stayed there and died in Ephesus),
           John was not in Ephesus before 63AD because Paul would have mentioned him living in Ephesus in his letter to             Timothy, 2Tim 4:9-19.
  • Sometime after the death of the Apostle Paul in 66AD, John became the pastor/elder at the church of Ephesus
  • John was the last surviving Apostle and the only Apostle that did not suffer martyrdom
John 21:20–22-20 Then Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also had leaned on His breast at the supper, … 21 … said to Jesus, “But Lord, what about this man?” 22 Jesus said to him, “If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you? You follow Me.”
  • Was there enough power in that statement to sustain John’s life as the longest living apostle and never suffer martyrdom?
    • Tertullian, a 2nd century historian, tells us in his book, “The Prescription against Heretics” that John was plunged into boiling oil, unhurt, then exiled to the Isle of Patmos.​

PictureThe Cave at Patmos
  • John was exiled to Patmos by Emperor Domitian in 81AD, where he remained for 15yrs until 96AD
    • After the death of Domitian, John was released and went back to Ephesus
    • John lived another 4 years and died in the year 100AD in Ephesus.

The Writings of the Apostle John

Picture
  • The Apostle John’s writings make up 20% of the New Testament
  • This makes him the third most prolific writer only to Luke and Paul
    • Luke wrote 27.48%
    • Paul wrote 27.07%
    • John wrote 20.35%
      • The Gospel of John
      • The three epistles- 1,2,3 John
      • Revelation
  • All five books were written within the last decade of the 1st century, between 90—100AD
    • It is generally accepted that Revelation was the first of his writings while in Patmos
      • Then his gospel
      • Then the three epistles
    • There is some debate as to whether he wrote all five books in Patmos
      • It is possible that he wrote his gospel and the three epistles after his release from Patmos in 96AD
      • But it is more probably that these were written in exile
      • I am fully convinced that John wrote the epistles after his gospel​

The relationship between the Father and Jesus
  • John 10:30- I and My Father are one.”
  • John 10:38- … the Father is in Me, and I in Him.”
  • John 17:21–23-21 that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22 And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: 23 I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.
  • John 5:19- Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.
  • John 1:1–2-1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God.​​

  • The Greek word structure of John 1:1 is astounding. If it was written any other way, our Christian doctrine would not be the same. For instance:
The use, namely the exclusion of the Greek article and the specific word order and placement of the Greek word Θεὸς (God) is the key. See the last statement in verse 1 below:
John 1:1- Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος, καὶ ὁ λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν Θεόν, καὶ Θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος.
We know that the Word (ὁ λόγος) is the subject of the verse because of the nominative case. And we understand that the Word was in the beginning and the Word was with the Father (τὸν Θεόν). When the definite article is used in conjunction with the Greek word Θεὸς, this is referring to the Father. So when the Scripture says "the Word was with God" it is specifically referring to the Father because the definite article is used with Θεόν. 

However, as the verse continues, it states that 
Θεὸς was the λόγος. This is where it gets fun. If John would have said ὁ Θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος. It would mean that the Father was the Word. We know this isn't right because Jesus is the Word and the Father and the Son, even though they are One, as in they are unified, they are still two separate beings.

Therefore, the way John words this last statement is magnificent. He excludes the article in front of 
Θεός showing that he is not referring to the Father, but he places the Greek word Θεός at the beginning of the statement. Its emphatic position at the beginning of the statement stresses its essence or quality of being God without calling Him the Father. But if John would have placed Θεός at the end of the statement, and said ὁ λόγος ἦν Θεὸς, this would mean the Word was a god, not "the" God. By placing Θεός at the front, it stresses the emphatic position and tells the reader that this is still God not just a god, but yet He is a different person than ὁ Θεὸς. 

John’s wording here is beautifully compact! It is, in fact, one of the most elegantly terse theological statements one could ever find. As Martin Luther said, the lack of the article is against Sabellianism; the word order is against Arianism.
Sabellianism states that the Father and Jesus are the same person.
Arianism states that Jesus was just a god and not the God
