| Bible Study -- John Winter-Spring 2012 |
| INTRODUCTION The Gospel of John differs from the other three (synoptic gospels) in its more thematic presentation of the good news of Jesus Christ. John provides us with various "I am" statements of Jesus, weaving teachings and miracles together into an account of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection that are written "that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name." (John 20:31) |
