John chapter 1 is rich with contrasts--grace and truth, come and hear vs. come and see, doctrine vs. life. "It's real life," Zac explains, "when we're out there in the world and we manifest the beauty and the humility and the patience of Jesus Christ to an ungodly and selfish world." In each miracle is a parable a spiritual message , such as the lame man at Bethesda who pictured life under the law.
