Mr. Smith begins this Bible study by asking what were the issues that lead the Jewish leaders in their desire to kill Jesus? Sabbath keeping differences were one, but by far the biggest issue to them was Jesus claiming to have come down from God out of heaven and claiming to be God. In this study Mr. Smith looks in detail at the first 18 verses of John 1 and bringing in other verses he shows that the Bible clearly teaches the divinity and pre-existence of Jesus Christ.
