In our next session, we’re returning to the Gospel of John.
Over the past several sessions, we’ve stepped back to look at the Bible as a whole—its story, its writing styles, and how the Old and New Testaments fit together. Now it’s time to return to John with that bigger picture in mind.
So the question for this session is simple:
What is John trying to show us about Jesus, and why does he record these particular signs, conversations, and encounters?
Watch the short video, spend some time thinking through the discussion questions below, and come ready to talk.
And as always, bring any questions you might have.
Video: Overview of the Gospel of John
Discussion Questions:
1️⃣ John presents Jesus differently than the other Gospels, focusing heavily on who He is rather than only what He did. As you watched the overview, what description or title of Jesus stood out to you the most, and why?
2️⃣ The Gospel of John repeatedly calls readers to believe in Jesus and receive life through Him. After watching the overview, what do you think John most wanted his readers to understand about Jesus, and what questions did that raise for you?
Optional Reading:
