19. Who is this Guy? - John Finale

You're listening to our John finale on Redeeming the Time.

In this episode, Tyler talks through the theme in John's Gospel of side characters wrestling with Jesus' identity. Almost everyone "on camera" in John's Gospel has something to say about who they think Jesus is, and the end result is a whole book about the discussions and debates about Him.

What this effectively does is put the ball in the reader's court, asking them what THEY think about Jesus. There are numerous possible answers, but one of them has to be the right one, right? True, and that's what John appears to be arguing for in his Gospel account.

Note: Tyler mentioned that he would talk about Nicodemus later on in the episode, but never did because he never wrote it into his notes. Dork. We can platform off of that though and give you a challenge. Tracking with what we know about Nicodemus, first seeking out Jesus in the middle of the night, then quietly (and ineffectively) defending Him in the presence of the Pharisees, go and read John 12:42-50. Nicodemus isn't named here, but it totally fits his story. How do you think this passage fits the whole theme we're looking at?
