| The Injil |
The Injil (Good News) Of Jesus The MessiahThe Injil (Good News) of Jesus the Messiah (Isa al-Masih) according to John, forms a part of the New Testament, also called The Holy Injil (The Holy Evangel). This book is attributed to John, one of Jesus' twelve disciples, and therefore an eyewitness to the important events in the life of Jesus the Messiah. This Injil account speaks of Jesus as the eternal Word of God, who became a human being and lived on earth. John's purpose in writing this account was that people might recognize Jesus as God's promised Messiah. Outline of Contents 1.1-18 Jesus, the eternal Word of God. "The Word became a human being and, full of grace and truth, lived among us. We saw his glory, the glory which he received as the Father's only Son." (1.14) 1.19-51 John the Baptist, the prophet who prepares the way for Jesus; the choosing of Jesus' first disciples.

(b) Teaching and preaching of Jesus about the meaning of these great works. (c) The response of the people: acceptance and rejection.

The doors were locked, but Jesus came and stood among them and said, 'Peace be with you.' Then he said to Thomas, 'Put your finger here, and look at my hands; then reach out your hand and put it in my side. stop your doubting, and believe!' Thomas answered him, 'My Lord and my God!' Jesus said to him, 'Do you believe because you see me? How happy are those who believe without seeing me!'" (20.26-29) |
