Our generation is still asking: "Who is Jesus?" Jesus is the Christ is more than a book about the theology of the book of John. It relates every teaching in John to the main objective of the book: "these things have been written so that you will believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing, you will have life in His name." Leon Morris shows us that Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah as well as the Son of God. John wrote his book so that the readers would believe in Christ and obtain eternal life.

Riassunto
Jesús es el Cristo es más que una obra sobre la teología del Evangelio de Juan. Consigue relacionar cada una de sus enseñanzas con el principal objetivo de este evangelio: "éstas [señales] se han escrito para que creáis que Jesús es el Cristo, el Hijo de Dios y para que, al creer, tengáis vida en su nombre". Nuestra generación todavía se pregunta "¿Quién es Jesús?". Leon Morris demuestra de forma convincente que el Jesús humano es el Cristo, o el Mesías, y también el Hijo de Dios. Afirma, asimismo, que el propósito de Juan era tanto evangelístico como teológico: Juan escribió su libro para que los lectores pudieran creer en el Cristo y, así, obtener la vida eterna.
