Legacy of Christ The Good Shepherd: A Study in the Gospel of John 9 &10 with Teacher's Notes, Book 5, (Paperback)

The healing of the man born blind and the Parable of the Good Shepherd are the teachings that are featured in the Gospel of John 9 & 10. In this book you will read about the theology behind the healing of the man born blind and Jesus as the Light of the world. Dr. Rocco gives specific biblical principles behind the reasons that Jesus chose to heal the blind man at the temple gate. This book teaches the meaning behind Jesus' confession as the Son of Man and His equality with the Father. He explains why the Jews rejected Him for this and sought to kill Him. Also, in chapters 9 & 10 the Apostle gives a beautiful discourse on Jesus as the Good Shepherd tying it into the Old Testament prophets' foretelling of His coming. Once again, you will experience Him in the temple dedicating it to His Father; a theme that continues throughout the Gospel. The healing of the man born blind at the temple gate speaks to the significance that certain causes of infirmities identify spiritual conditions in our lives that bring about our healing. Not every infirmity is because of sin; first century rabbinical thinking. It can also be an opportunity to glorify the Son of Man. This book is a detailed but simplistic teaching of the Gospel of John for all lay people to study and come into a greater understanding of the life of Jesus Christ. It gives instruction to the inheritance we carry as Christians and enlightens us to the possibilities He has for us in the greatness of His life in us. It has questions after each chapter for discussion and bible study and teacher's notes at the end of the book giving answers to those questions. This book is a great bible study tool to help any pastor, church leader, or individual to come to a better understanding of the life of Jesus Christ. It is volume 5 in an ongoing series by Dr. Rocco called "The Legacy of Christ."
