Our familiarity with the Scriptures, those which are called the Old Testament, remind us that the people written about therein, whom we know as God's original chosen people, they were waiting for a Messiah. The eyes were focused in the future toward the One who would arrive on the planet to, really, at the core essence, ultimately save them from their sins. The writings before this time had gone silent for approximately 400 years, as the last truly approved words were recorded by the prophet Malachi. We see a direct glimpse of what we are talking about in certain disciples of John the Baptist early on, in that they themselves were looking for this Person who was to come. And to step out for a moment in all of this, Jesus' disciple John, the writer of this Book we are considering, is in effect telling all who will listen, even today, in our time, that the Person he is writing about—that specific person—is indeed this Jewish Messiah. And the beautiful thing he goes on to show, is that this Jewish Messiah is actually the Messiah for the whole world.
