AdamII - Guide For The Walk Home
Although it is not necessary in order to experience and appreciate the depth of God's transforming love through His Son Jesus, it is, on the other hand, both rewarding and at the same time stimulating to know of the people and events in the history of the life and times of our Lord Jesus Christ. A wealth of this information awaits the Bible student who wishes to delve into this wonderful yet tragic and diverse period. For our study, however, we are limited in what can be incorporated for an overall understanding of the setting of John's gospel.
But when we do have a working grasp of these times, people, and events, names on pages explode into full dimensional personalities. Standing as a spectator before their lives as they unfold upon the page, afresh to them then, yet seen in total by ourselves today, we can all but sense their presence, hear their voices, perceive their appearances, and discern their spirit. Aided by the Holy Spirit, we catch a glimpse back in time into their hopes, fears, motives, aspirations, and all the other complexities common to people of every generation, even ours today, thus making our reading relevant to our own personal lives. We are transformed by what we learn, never to be the same once having read it.
Make no mistake, God intends and without respect or failure, does touch one who opens and reads His Word. Of this, be assured!
(Isaiah 55:11) Our darkness becomes brighter, our eyes clearer, our understanding greater, our hope strengthened, our faith stronger, and our link to the chain of the continuity of Christ's Church since He walked the earth, more visible. And, when He begins doing His work through it, you will discover a profound love for Him unimaginable, only to grow the more you feed!
Welcome To AdamII
AdamII is a commentary on the Gospel of John written in book and outline form for convenient studying, including extensive scripture references. Included is a background in each of the following areas to prepare the reader/student for a better understanding of the time of Christ: Scribes, Pharisees, Sadducees, Zealots, Essenes, and the early church heresy of Gnosticism.
It is suggested to first familiarize yourself with the major Jewish groups at the time of Christ and to read the pre-studies works prior to beginning the chapter studies. The disciple studies are offered in the Appendix and should be read as each one is introduced in the chapter studies.
