Description

Dr. Tozer expounds on the theological principles and mystical realities of the truths found in the Gospel of John in such a way that they can be understood by every reader.  In his concluding chapter he begins to end his work with a question, “Would you think that God, the eternal Father, would give redemption to the world and then give it only to a few great minds (Tozer 2009, 210)?”  It is a rhetorical device that encourages all of us to consider what God has offered us because in the considering, each of us can grasp the answer.  It is the value of Dr. Tozer’s work in that he does just that.  He presents God in way that can be understood by every mind.  “The message of Christ is not directed to the learned…  God sent His message down to the plain people (Tozer 2009, 210).”  What Dr. Tozer has done in this work is to convey the high and loftiness of God, the fallenness of man, and the incarnation of God as it is found in John’s Gospel in such a way that anyone and everyone can understand and respond.  That should be the goal of every preacher.
