Crossroads To Heaven: Being Enlightened By John

By Volker Schunck

The Gospel of John is different to the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke). The collection of Jesus words sounds more like far eastern spirituality: e.g. “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM.” “I and the Father are one.”
Unfortunately modern theology let appear the Gospel of John in a bad light. Especially Bultmann started a discussion about the authenticity of the Jesus quotes. But let me ask with Pilate “What is truth?” (John 18:38). The wisdom of the Jesus words directly touches your heart. You hear the voice of the Arisen One through them. Who cares about their provableness by science?
So open your hearts to the verses of John. A lot is not understandable by your minds but only by your hearts. I have selected those verses, which currently are speaking most to me.

Thanks a bunch!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I live in Dresden, Germany. First I was a merchant, then I studied theology for a few years. Through my engagement with Zen I became aware of the Christian mysticism. Meanwhile I go my own way. Faith is for me not only a world-view but a mode of being. My Christian faith and my experiences in meditation influence my everyday life, in which I try to be attentive. My books arise from this spirit too.

Preface

The Gospel of John is different to the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke). The collection of Jesus words sounds more like far eastern spirituality: e.g. Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM. I and the Father are one.

Unfortunately modern theology let appear the Gospel of John in a bad light. Especially Bultmann started a discussion about the authenticity of the Jesus quotes. But let me ask with Pilate What is truth? (John 18:38). The wisdom of the Jesus words directly touches your heart. You hear the voice of the Arisen One through them. Who cares about their provableness by science?

So open your hearts to the verses of John. A lot is not understandable by your minds but only by your hearts. I have selected those verses, which currently are speaking most to me.

God bless you, my friends!

Yours Volker

John

Chapter 1

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him. Without him was not anything made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn’t overcome it. 6 There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him. 8 He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light. 9 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.

10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn’t recognize him.
