We walk the big picture of John’s Gospel, from the cosmic prologue to breakfast by the sea, to show how Jesus reveals God’s heart up close. Signs, I Am statements, the cross, the Spirit, and restoration form one story that invites belief and brings life.
• how John differs from the Synoptics
• who wrote John and why that matters
• the prologue’s claims about the Word
• seven signs that reveal identity and compassion
• seven I Am statements that invite trust
• love that serves in the upper room
• the Holy Spirit as helper and guide
• the cross, the resurrection, and restoration of Peter
• John’s purpose: belief that leads to life
If this episode helped you see Jesus a little more clearly, share with someone who might need that reminder too
