The Book of John (2020 Edition) (eBook)

The book of John reveals Jesus Christ as the Son of God, the One who is the divine self-expression and fullness of God's glory. John was a prophet, a seer, a lover, an evangelist, an author, an apostle, and a son of thunder.   While the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke provide the history of Christ, John's Gospel unveils the mystery of Christ. We experience Jesus as the Lamb of God, the Good Shepherd, the Kind Forgiver, the Tender Healer, the Compassionate Intercessor, and the Great I Am. Full of miracles, living truths, and wondrous works, the Gospel of John brings a heavenly perspective filled with inspiring revelations in every verse.   To read John's Gospel is to encounter Jesus. Our lives will never be the same once we enter the great magnificence of his presence and sit enthroned with him.   'All you thirsty ones, come to me! Come to me and drink! Believe in me so that rivers of living water will burst out from within you, flowing from your innermost being, just like the Scripture says!' John 7:37-38
