Mr. Smith continues his Bible study series on the book of John. He begins this study by showing that Jesus and John are related to each other. He then spends the rest of thee study looking at two words used in John's gospel, "truth" and "life" and shows that there is more meaning to the Greek words than we see in the English words. He shows that the word truth conveys the meanings of genuine and reality. And the word life means real future eternal life as opposed to the mere existence in this physical life.
