“Christian witness is the obedient action of the Church by which it recognises that Jesus Christ is really the Lord”.  An excerpt from an address to pastors by the Swiss theologian, Karl Barth, which nicely states ‘the heart of the matter’ in chapters 5 and 6 of St John’s Gospel – our focus in our upcoming Advent Bible Study.  Jesus engages with the crowds, his disciples, and his opponents – all of whom in their own way resist, side-step, turn a blind eye, to what it would mean for them to acknowledge that, ‘not I’, but he, Jesus, is the Lord.  “Jesus Christ, as he is witnessed to us in holy scripture, is the one Word of God whom we are to trust and obey in life and in death” (Barth).
