Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. II Timothy 2:15
4th Quarter 2024-Themes in the Gospel of John
John’s Gospel is unique among the four Gospels, often focusing attention on personal interviews between Jesus and just one or two people—such as Nathaniel, Nicodemus, etc. Many of these stories appear only in John.
John was the willing instrument that the Holy Spirit used to convey many crucial themes: the Word (logos), light, bread, water, the Holy Spirit, oneness, signs, testimony, and prophecy.
This quarterly study concentrates on the meaning of a word or a small passage, grammar, the immediate context, and the historical context. These details help paint the bigger picture of John’s divinely inspired revelation of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
May this study carry us back to the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, whom to know, is life eternal.
