What a glorious book this is—with the Truth and the Light shining from every page. <3 Every time I see something new...

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness.” (1:1-5)
“That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” (1:9-14)
“For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.” (1:17 )
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. “He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.” (3:16-21)
“He must increase, but I must decrease.” (3:30)
“He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” (3:36)
“But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” (4:23-2)
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” (5:24)
“And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.” (5:40)
“How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?” (5:44)
“And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.” (6:35)
“Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.” (7:24)
“Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.” (8:5, 7, 11)
“I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” (8:12
“And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.” (8:29)
“If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (8:31-32)
“If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.” (8:42, 44-47, 55)
“One thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.” (9:25)
“I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.” (10:10-11, 28-29)
“When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.” (11:4)
“Sir, we would see Jesus.” (12:21)
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour. Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. Father, glorify thy name.” (12:24-28)
“Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.” (12:31-32)
“He that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.” (12:35)
“Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.” (12:42-43)
“I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.” (12:46)
“For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.” (12:49-50)
“If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.” (13:14-15‬)
“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” (13:34-35‬)
“I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (14:6)
“If ye love me, keep my commandments.” (‭14:15‬)
“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.” (14:16-19)
“If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.” (‭14:23-24)
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” (‭14:27)
“These things I command you, that ye love one another. If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin. He that hateth me hateth my Father also. If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:” (15:17-26)
“And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.” (16:8-11‬)
“Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” (‭16:32-33‬)
“I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.” (‭‭17:9, 14-18)
“Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?” (18:1)
“Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee? Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above:” (‭19:10-11)
“But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.” (‭20:31)

Chronological reading of the four gospels x2

[Emma Turner · Rating 5 out of 5]

John really spoke to me from reading through it this time. Specifically three words, “I saw thee.” These words were spoken to Nathanael by Jesus. They encouraged me in two ways:

1) Jesus sees me. When I feel alone, when I feel like giving up, when I feel discouraged, when I feel broken, when I feel defeated- He sees me. Jesus sees our tears falling when no one else does. Jesus sees us and cares about us.

2) Jesus sees the lost world. Jesus saw Nathanael before anyone ever told Nathanael about Jesus. There are so many “Nathanael’s” today that God is waiting to bring to Him. But, He needs “Philip’s” that are willing to be a light. Because God cares about the lost world, we should as well.

The last verse of John is unique. I can’t wait for heaven to hear about all the miraculous things Jesus did on earth that aren’t written in God’s Word.

“And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.”
‭‭John‬ ‭21:25‬ ‭

"Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen Me, thou hast believed: BLESSED ARE THEY THAT HAVE NOT SEEN, AND YET HAVE BELIEVED." John 20:29

"But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through His name." John 20:31

John is undeniably one of my favorite books in the Bible! <3<3

The Gospel of John, the fourth book of the New Testament, is a riveting masterpiece of theological insight and storytelling that has enraptured readers for centuries. This gospel, written in Greek around 90-110 AD, is widely considered the most mystical and profound of the four gospels, delving deep into the nature of Jesus as the Son of God and elucidating his transformative teachings with awe-inspiring clarity and power.

The book opens with the iconic words, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." This exalted declaration sets the tone for the entire book, announcing that Jesus is not just a human prophet or miracle-worker, but the divine logos, the very essence of God's creative and redemptive power. From there, the Gospel of John proceeds to recount the key moments in Jesus' life, such as his baptism, his ministry in Galilee, his miracles, his climactic entrance into Jerusalem, and his arrest, crucifixion, and resurrection.

Yet what truly sets this gospel apart from the others is its abundant use of symbols and metaphors to convey the depths of Jesus' teachings. In his encounters with Nicodemus, the Samaritan woman at the well, the blind man, and Mary and Martha, Jesus reveals profound truths about salvation, eternal life, the kingdom of God, and the nature of God as a loving Father. He speaks in poetic and paradoxical language, inviting us to contemplate the mysteries of God's grace and truth. His famous declaration "I am the way, the truth, and the life" encapsulates this whole approach, encapsulating the seemingly contradictory nature of his identity and mission.

At the heart of the Gospel of John is a powerful vision of God as the source of all love and life, who reaches out to us through his only begotten Son to offer us the fullness of his grace and presence. It is a vision that transcends simple narratives of sin and punishment, and instead invites us to enter into a deep and intimate relationship with God that transforms us from the inside out. This is the message that has made the Gospel of John such a beloved spiritual guide for generations of Christians, and which continues to challenge and inspire readers today.

Overall, the Gospel of John is a triumph of theological and literary genius, a work of art that merges profound spiritual insight with timeless storytelling mastery. Whether you are a believer or a skeptic, a casual reader or a theologian, this gospel has something to offer. So dive in and prepare to be transformed, as you encounter the Word made flesh and discover the depth of God's love and grace for yourself.

With the many voices in our culture today, I was challenged to pay a closer attention to the words of the most important and intellectual person that ever lived.
I started with the testimony from John one of Jesus disciples and wrote out every single word that Jesus spoke in a book during my quiet time.

It was an enjoyable experience spending time in the life changing, comforting words of our Savior. Jesus introduces us to a God who is our Father and to the love that they share and one we would come to share with them.

I can’t wait to do this with the other epistles, my prayer is that I ( & we ) keep listening and obeying the words of Jesus our savior.

I had not realised the importance of the four gospels with regards to perspective. Each of the four authors witnessed some or all of the events in Christ's last years, yet all have recorded slightly different accounts, showing that everyone sees things through their own lens and conditioning. I think this lends credence to the accounts.

John's account of the life and ministry of Jesus, my Lord and Saviour. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son.

Bless the name of Jesus!

Favorite book of the Bible I've read so far. Loved this perspective

[Theresa · Rating 4 out of 5]

The 4th gospel of Jesus Christ. John focuses more on who Jesus is, his reason for coming to Earth and his last days: his crucifixion resurrection, etc. than the others. When you read the phrase ‘that other disciple, whom Jesus loved’ that’s John referring to himself.

Fave verse: John 8:7 ‘So when they continued asking Him, he lifted Himself up, and saith unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.’
