The Unchanging Word is studying through the Gospel of John. We are in John chapter 2: 13-25.

After showing His glory in Cana of Galilee of transforming the water into wine, and spending a short time in Capernaum, we next see Jesus in Jerusalem in the temple.

In our study today, Dr. Mitchell makes the observation that the Passover of the Lord had degenerated into a commercial holiday. Jesus demonstrated his authority and power making a clean sweep of the His father's house driving out those who were selling animals for sacrifice, people making merchandise of the things of God.

Jesus makes mention of His coming resurrection and his disciples did not understand His Words till after He was raised from the dead. Sometimes it takes time before we remember and believe God's Word doesn't it?

So, let's turn in our Bible to John 2:13. Here is Dr. Mitchell.

Our study in the Gospel of John starts today in chapter two beginning at verse one here on the Unchanging Word.

In this chapter, Dr. Mitchell gives us a short overview of 11 Names of Jesus as found in John chapter one.

He points out that the Spirit of God always uses the right words and right titles and the right name in His revelation of Jesus the Son of God. Dr. Mitchell tells us that the name Jesus is used some 247 times in this Gospel.

Now beginning in Chapter 2, we will be looking at Jesus' first sign, or miracle which He did to manifest His glory and the disciples believe in Jesus as the Messiah of God. Jesus blessed a marriage in Cana of Galilee byattending it and then blessed it by doing His first miracle of transforming water into wine.

Let's turn in our Bible to the Gospel of John chapter 2. Here is Dr. Mitchell.

The Unchanging Word bible study continues in the Gospel of John chapter one. We are looking at verses 35-51.

In this passage we look upon the Lamb of God. We see the person of the Son of God, Jesus Himself.

Just as John the Baptist did with his disciples would you be able to point others to the Saviour so they may follow Him?

Please notice the two ways the disciples came to Jesus. One way is when one is pointed to Jesus by someone else, and the other is when Jesus Himself finds and calls one to follow Him.

Notice too, that Jesus finds Philip and calls him to follow Him, then Philip turns around and announces that he had found Jesus. As it is written, both are true.

With your Bible open to John 1:35 to begin, let's listen to our teacher Dr. Mitchell.
