John’s gospel is written to answer one question: Who is Jesus? But he is not interested so much in the man, Jesus of Nazareth, like the other three gospels, as he is in the exalted Christ. The distinction is echoed by Peter in his Pentecost sermon, “Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.” (Acts 2:36) He is Lord. He is, as the demons say in Mark 1:24, “The Holy One of God.”
