John - eBook

The Gospel of John was written so that those who read it might believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and find eternal life. It is different in approach from the other three gospels. In the first half, John alternates seven signs (miracles) with seven sayings (lengthy teachings) backed up by seven statements Jesus makes about himself (each beginning with I am). In the second half, John records the events of the final week of Jesus' life, which includes instruction to his disciples, his death, his resurrection, and his appearances after his resurrection. Although each of nearly 100 readings in the commentary is short, the content is rich with careful explanation, devotional warmth, and practical relevance.
