Saturday, October 10 in Mc Donnell Hall
Session 2:
"Jesus (the Son of God) in Relation to Believers (Children of God): Does That Mean What I Think It Means?"
If you didn’t come to the first talk on the Gospel of John, you can still follow today’s talk. We encourage you to come! We will be exploring several aspects of the Gospel’s rich meaning in such a way that it will make sense and will “stand alone” even without attending the first of the lectures.
Sometimes we sell short the promises of Jesus. Oh, he couldn’t possibly meant that. In fact, the gospel meant everything it said and meant it literally. Even some scholars cannot realize that. We will look at some of the most exalted -- and real -- promises made for those who believe in Jesus and realize just how great these promises really are.
