Gospel in Life
with Tim Keller
In the Beginning
Monday, March 9, 2026
You can’t really understand the real Jesus if you only look at his birth and his death. You must also look at his words and his deeds during his life.
To study the words and deeds of Jesus, we’re going to look in the Gospel of John, starting with John 1. It’s one of the most famous passages of the Bible, with too much great stuff to possibly discuss it all.
So I’d like to give a top-level view of it, looking at the three main parts: 1) a radical, amazing claim, 2) the rejection of the claim, and 3) the answer to the objections to and rejection of the claim.
This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on January 5, 2014. Series: Seeing Jesus. Scripture: John 1:1-14.
