00:26 – An overview of John 1.



04:33 – The Gospel of John reads somewhat differently than the synoptic gospels. The invitation to “come and see” and believe in Jesus is a theme of John’s gospel message.



12:39 – John teaches that in the beginning Jesus was The Word.



18:59 – John uses temple imagery to convey his message of Jesus.



21:38 – Those who receive Jesus are given “power to become the sons of God.” Through covenants, we are born of Christ and become his sons and daughters.



23:44- John the Baptist was sent into the world to be a witness of Christ. We must be careful in our service to hold up the light and not get in the way of the light.



25:55 – The phrase “No man hath seen God at any time” presents challenges, as multiple scriptural accounts portray God being seen by prophets. The JST change helps us see this in a different way.



28:47 – John is “an Elias,” but not “The Elias” who will restore all things. This is a reference to the Prophet Joseph Smith.



35:19 – Jesus knows Nathaniel under the fig tree. He identifies himself as “the Son of Man,” a title emphasizing that he is the cosmic king that will one day make all things right, The Man of Holiness. This is a direct message that those who receive and believe Jesus will see greater things.



40:37 – Frederic Farrar’s thoughts on “Come and see.”



43:02 – John the Baptist’s seven-fold witness of Christ as a temple theme.
