Majesty In His Service John's Gospel

You, Oh God, my Creator, my Life, my Well-Being are the MAJESTY of my existence; and in no other way could You have fulfilled Your purpose in me/through me other than to make me in Your image, after Your likeness. I am the reflection made of You, Who is the Original. I AM an Original made from The Original. The Gospel according to John is quite different in character from the three synoptic gospels. It is highly literary and symbolic. It does not follow the same order or reproduce the same stories as the synoptic gospels. To a much greater degree, it is the product of a developed theological reflection and grows out of a different circle and tradition. It was probably written in the 90's of the first century. The Gospel of John begins with a magnificent prologue, which states many of the major themes and motifs of the gospel, much as an overture does for a musical work. The prologue proclaims Jesus as the preexistent and incarnate Word of GOD WHO has revealed the Father to us. After the account of the seven signs, the "HOUR" of Jesus arrives, and the author passes from sign to reality, as he moves into the discourses in the upper room that interpret the meaning of the passion, death, and resurrection narratives that follow. The whole gospel of John is a progressive revelation of the glory of God's only Son, WHO comes to reveal the Father and then returns in glory to the Father. The author's purpose is clearly expressed in what must have been the original conclusion of his gospel at the end of John, chapter 20: ..."Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of [His] disciples that are not written in this book. But these are written that you may [come to] believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through this belief you may have life in His Name."
