Each of the Gospels begins the story of Jesus in a different way. Which beginning most appeals to you? Why?
John, because he sets forth in clear, unequivocal language that Christ is God incarnate. And if Christ is God “in the flesh”, then it brings the entire apocalyptic nature of the New Testament into focus. In other words, you can only come to certain conclusions about NT prophecy when you see Christ as God. It makes sense of all prophecy.
Every word in John is important. He had a lot more time to think about things. Actually his Gospel is more theology than any other Gospel.
