Description
The Gospel of John witnesses to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Yet it is apparent from John’s account that not everyone who perceived Jesus with their physical eyes saw Him for who He truly is. In But Now I See, Gerald M. Bilkes walks us through a study of this gospel, sharing the same intent as the apostolic author, “that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name” (John 20:31). As you read about how Jesus is the light; the Lamb of God; the way, the truth, the life; the resurrection; the Vine; and so much more, may you also come to say, “We beheld his glory” (John 1:14).

“With theological insight, unobtrusive exegetical precision, practical application, and personal passion, Bilkes expounds the message of John’s Gospel. Although not a verse-by-verse commentary, But Now I See recounts the biblical narrative chapter by chapter in such a way that light is always shining on Jesus in all the beauty and wonder of His person and work. In many ways, Bilkes’s exposition echoes the purpose of John’s first epistle, that the reader “may know him that is true” (1 John 5:20). At the end of each chapter are soul-searching questions to generate personal reflection as to whether we are seeing Jesus. The preacher in Bilkes shines as brightly as his scholarship. This is a helpful companion resource for reading the Gospel of John.” —Michael Barrett, senior research professor of the Old Testament, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids
