Unique from all the other gospels, John reaches back beyond Christ’s baptism at Jordan, and beyond even His birth in Bethlehem, to the very beginning. The beginning of the Son of God in heaven with His Father. 

It was through Him that our perfect world was made. But man chose to disobey. So entering in to that plan kept secret before the world began, the Light of life came to shine in the darkness, providing us with a second chance. 

From this incredible chapter, we gain a knowledge of the divine origin of Christ, His great condescension to humanity, and His reception by those He came to save.

What is the 'Elijah message'?

Poor, humble, and mighty. The story of Gideon teaches us the value of unreserved dedication and complete trust. How else could 300 men take out an army that were as “grasshoppers for multitude”?

Indeed, there is more to learn from these two chapters of Judges than history alone. Although 32,000 soldiers responded to Gideon’s call, less than 1% remained. This minute army bears a striking parallel to the 11th-hour workers; those whom the Lord calls to finish the gospel work at the very end of time. 

The question is: Will your faith pass the test?
