Episode 22: You already know this
Download MP3Beginning with verse 7 of chapter 2, John tells his readers that he’s not writing about a new command, but an old one…and then says it actually is a new command. We’ll address the seeming contradiction in the next episode. But in this episode, the point is that the gospel is already rooted in an old command. And we’ll look at the story surrounding the parable of the Good Samaritan to show how it’s possible to know the old command, yet not do it.
