Twenty-five times throughout his Gospel, the apostle John records Jesus beginning a statement with the phrase “Truly, truly, I say to you…” With these six words, Jesus introduced some of His most startling teachings, including His call for believers to be “born again,” His assertion that belief in Him is essential for eternal life, and even His declaration that He is in fact God Himself. And as today, so then: with each new declaration, Jesus provoked a range of responses, from hatred to skepticism to curiosity—and, for some, believing faith.

In this series, Alistair Begg takes us step-by-step through the “Truly, truly” statements in John’s Gospel. As we explore these unparalleled claims, we come to see them as building blocks of Jesus’ self-revelation, offered to us so that, in John’s own words, “you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.”
