The Eagle Soars: Volume 3; The Book of John, Chapter 5

This is the third in a series taken from William LePar's lessons on the Book of John covering chapters 5. Mr. LePar's spiritual source, The Council, give it their whole hearted recommendation, "Some of the information that has come out and will come out will never be out again. Now do you understand when we say it will never be out again, we mean in the form that it is presented, in those particular words? The truth has always been and always will be. But it is the proper construction or the proper presentation that makes the difference, that makes for the understanding and the acceptance.

"Now, at the risk of sounding egotistical, we would recommend that (Mr. LePar's) Bible class whole-heartedly, because in that then you get what is necessary, and you get it in a very clear picture without the hindrance of man's intellect."

We feel that this presentation offers a new perspective for all who are interested in spiritual growth.

According to Mr. LePar, Chapter Five sets the stage for what he considers the most important and most controversial chapter in The Book of John - Chapter 6.

First we look at the healing of the crippled man on the Sabbath. Verses 1 - 9 are viewed from two different perspectives. First, from the purely verbal understanding and second, what we need to know as far as the attitudes necessary to bring about a healing.

Next verses 19-29 are studied in detail because of their importance for a complete awareness of what Jesus is claiming in these passages.

We conclude with Christ validating his claims and the unbelief of those who heard and understood what He was claiming to be.

We, who have worked on this book, and the others in this series that will be published in the future feel that this series will become indispensable for any serious student if they are to develop a true grasp of John.
