“Thus, when John calls Jesus ‘the Word,’ the logos, he is referring to him as the thinker, the omniscient genius behind the created universe.” (John 1:1a)

“But the Lord does not give the gift of eternal life without first dealing with the question of sin. As soon as the woman revealed her receptiveness to the gift of living water, the Lord put a finger on what was causing her quenchless thirst: sin.” (John 4:15)

“The religious leaders were those hireling shepherds. They had no real investment in the sheep. Their own power and position were all they were concerned about.” (John 10:13)

“Martha’s faith was a tribute to Jesus, but it was inadequate.” (John 11:21–22)

“‘By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.’ The badge of true discipleship is not in the doctrinal statements to which we subscribe, not in the types of hymns and music we prefer, not in the rituals we observe or the ordinances we cherish, not in our soulwinning zeal, our faithfulness to the churches of our choice—but in our love for all those who love the Lord. When people see that, they will recognize Christ in his disciples and recognize that love as truly his own.” (John 13:35)
