John's Journey

I thought we would look at the book of John next. Mathew, Mark, and Luke are called the synoptic gospels. Basically that means they cover the same stories and give slight variation of details. But John has an entirely different approach. His book is so full of doctrinal teachings that many recommend new believers start by reading the gospel of John.

The author tells us at the end of his writting why he wrote his book. “…but these things are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name” (John 20:31). We well keep this in mind as we begin our journey with Jesus through John’s experience.
