JOHN THE BAPTIST
In ancient days, heralds preceded the coming of kings to announce the royal visit. In the same manner, God sent a messenger to prepare the world for the coming of His Son, the King of Kings.
John the Baptist, a man who finally lost his life for his faithfulness to the cause of truth and justice, was God’s chosen man to present Jesus Christ to the world.

THE SAMARITAN WOMAN
Many criticized Jesus for being a friend of sinners. He declared that he “came to seek and to save the lost.” (Luke 19:10)
Jesus spoke to sinners with love and patience. That way they realized how much they needed a Savior to save them from their sins and to give them Salvation as a gift.
In the fourth chapter of John, we find Jesus having a conversation with a woman of bad reputation. What Jesus told her is of great importance for each one of us “since everyone has sinned and is far away from God’s saving presence.” (Romans 3:23)

THE HUNGRY MULTITUDE
During the earthly life of our Lord Jesus, many followed him because of his miracles and the material benefit they hoped to receive from him.
Spiritual life, eternal life, is for those who love Jesus Christ and are willing to give their lives to him. The true Christian is not just a person who follows the crowd, even when the crowd shows interest in religion. This is revealed in the Bible event which you will now study.

THE MAN WHO WAS BORN BLIND
Jesus told those who were hungry, “I am the bread of life.” (John 6:35) Shortly afterwards, he said, “I am the light of the world.” (John 9:5) Light is only of value to those who have sight. Jesus came to give sight to those who were physically blind. He also came to give spiritual sight to those of us who were spiritually blind.
In the following biblical account, we shall see that the men who we would most expect to have spiritual sight, the religious leaders, were the most blind of all. We shall see the case of a physically blind man who not only received the sight of his eyes, but also spiritual sight. Jesus Christ, the “light of the world”, gives spiritual sight to all who desire it and ask it of him.

NICODEMUS: A RELIGIOUS LEADER
How does a person receive eternal life? The world is very confused. Many believe that eternal life is for all who have been faithful to their religion. Others think that eternal life, if such exists, is like a prize for those who have lived fairly good lives in this world. But how can we know the truth?
We know that what Jesus says is the truth. In the following study, we shall see the surprise of a good moral man, a religious leader, when Jesus explained to him that heaven is only for those who have experienced a spiritual birth. Jesus went on to explain how we could be born spiritually and receive eternal life. This can be and should be the experience of every person.

THE UNBELIEVING DISCIPLES
Many times Jesus told his disciples that it was necessary that he die at the hands of his enemies, but that he would arise from the dead. Even so, the disciples were unable to understand or believe what he told them. Therefore, when Jesus died on the cross, his followers lost all hope.
Even when Jesus rose from the dead on the third day, according to his promise, the disciples continued to disbelieve. Only when Jesus physically presented himself to them could they believe that he had overcome the power of death.
Jesus has promised very special blessings to those who believe in him without having seen him. The great truth is that Jesus Christ is alive and “is able, now and always, to save those who come to God through him, because he lives forever to plead with God for them.” Hebrews 7:25
