Here's Grace to You, Bible teacher John MacArthur.

Well, as you know, if you've been around Grace Church recently, we're in a series of

sermons where I'm helping you to look at critical conversations with the Son of God.

And that, of course, takes us to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, the gospel accounts of

his life.

Conversations about salvation.

Conversations about the gospel.

Conversations about sin and forgiveness and eternal life and faith and unbelief.

All of those essential elements were topics of conversation between our Lord and His disciples

as well as the people of the land of Israel.

And they are profoundly important conversations because our Lord is defining for us the

essence of spiritual truth.

One of the most profound conversations and one of the most serious is found in the sixth

chapter of John.
