Perceptive and incisive! Aquinas points to John’s exposition of Christ’s nature much more than the other Evangelists, particularly how Christ fulfilled the Scriptures. Referring to several prophecies and symbols of the Old Law, John understands Christ’s own prophetic words to His disciples and His actions as foreshadowing His passion, death, and resurrection. Aquinas highlights the divinity of Christ and the mystery of His humanity, conveying this through the relationship Christ enjoyed with His disciples. Richly rewarding! Leads us to a closer union with Christ.
