The Gospel of John: Those Who Received Him (John 9-12)
"Open your ears," says James Montgomery Boice. "Hear the voice of Christ. Believe him. Turn to him. Throw yourself upon him. Receive him as your Savior."Even in the midst of pain and persecution, we are to live as Christ would live. Volume 3 on the Gospel of John shows Jesus turning to all who had received him in the midst of, and in spite of, growing hostility from the authorities of Judaism. Covering chapters 9-12 of the Gospel, this volume covers such topics as"The Problem of Pain" (9:2-3)"A Question for Everyone" (9:35-38)"One Flock, One Shepherd" (10:16, 19-21)"Why Did Jesus Christ Die?" (11:51-52)"How to Save Your Own Life" (12:24-26)"Jesus, the Great Attraction" (12:31-33)This expositional commentary on one of the Bible's most popular books combines careful scholarship and clear communication in a verse-by-verse and section-by-section reading of the biblical text. Integrating thoughtful interpretation with contemporary insight for daily living, James Montgomery Boice explains the meaning of the text and relates the text's concerns to the church, Christianity, and the world in which we live.James Montgomery Boice (1938-2000) was senior pastor of Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was also president and cofounder of the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals, the parent organization of The Bible Study Hour, on which Boice was a speaker for more than thirty years.
