Synopsis:
John is the latest Gospel to be written, and by the time it is written the Christian community is so expansive beyond being a small Jewish sect that the writer translates common Jewish words three times for the Gentile audience. How does the movement spread so quickly? From an executed Jewish Rabbi to being a global religious movement? The text shows us. One person uses their relationships to point people to Jesus (John and his disciples; Andrew and Peter), and because they have trust in each other it makes it easier for them to hear Jesus. Once they arrive though Jesus invites them to come and see for themselves. So, did you trust who pointed you to Jesus?
