[1] Paul's writings present man to God in and through Christ. John's
Gospel presents God to man in Christ; the Epistles unfold divine life in
Christ communicated to the believer; though Paul of course speaks of life,
and John of man as in Christ before God. We must add for John's Gospel the
coming of the Comforter. The reader will remark also that John's Gospel
presents to us the new thing taking the place of Judaism, especially from
chapter 4. Election runs all through it, very strongly expressed. The
synoptical Gospels present Christ to the Jews, to man, to be received; but
the world and the Jews are judged in John 1: 10, 11. From that, our grace
and the elect remnant, the sheep alone, are recognised, and the Jews
treated as reprobate.
