    I am on my spiritual journey and I want to simply say Thank you for this lesson and break down. John is the first book I have ever completely read from the Bible and this helped me so much. Thank you ❤

    This was so cool! I am a new Christian and I received advice that the book of John is a good place to start my bible study, and that's what lead me here.
    Thank you for taking the time to do this. Gratitude.

    At 42, I'll turned to god five weeks ago. I read some of genesis and never picked the Bible back up. I've been listening to derek prince videos. He's good at giving instructions, I've been repenting, surrendering and receiving. I woke up one morning and ecclesiastes was burning in my brain. So I read it, as I was finishing, I said to myself what am I suppose to read after this? Apostle John popped straight into my head. I love the overviews before I read the section

      @@endofscene the Gospel of John is really about Christ's deity. He speaks to who he is and his relationship with the father as the father's only begotten son. The seven miracles are signs he performs speak to who he is as God in human form. There also seven I am statements which if I have correct I am the of the light of world, I am the bread of life, I am the Good Shepherd, I am the vine, I am the resurrection and the life, I am the way the truth and the life, I am the gate.

      The first and last of those miracles aren't mentioned in any other gospel. I guess raising Lazarus from the dead (after 4 days!) wasn't noteworthy to the other gospel authors!

      @@endofscene Each book in the New Testament conveys exactly what God wanted them to. In every aspect of Bible authorship, sometimes God spoke directly to the author, who simply recorded what they heard. At other times the author conducted much of his writings on interviews and research. At times they were eyewitnesses. Sometimes the Holy Spirit brought to mind the things Jesus taught. Regardless of the ways the words came to the authors, the words they put down were an extension of them, their personalities, skills, backgrounds and training. But they were the exact words God wanted them to write, because they are His words. Matthew writes his gospel to demonstrate Jesus is the Messiah. Peter passed his recounting to his attendant John Mark. In Mark the theme of this Gospel is to present and defend Jesus' universal call to discipleship. Luke writes his Gospel to highlight it is for all since Jesus is the promised one of God as prophesied in the OT and as seen in God's activity in Christ's life, death and resurrection. John - Jesus is the Son of God, all who believe have eternal life. John relies in his writing, the 7 miracles and I Am statements by Jesus, witnesses to Jesus, John the Baptist, and Jesus himself. Acts, written by Luke, is to give an early account of the church. The main theme is that the Holy Spirit empowers believers to declare the gospel among everyone. Paul writes the letters to the Roman's and its message that in the cross of Christ, God judges sin and at the same time, shows His saving mercy. Paul's first letter to the Corinthians encourages the church to overcome differences to advance the gospel. His second letter is about his suffering and the power of the Spirit in his apostolic life, ministry and message. His letter to the Galatians states that Christ's death has brought the age of the new covenant. Letter to the Ephesians covers Christ's reconciliation of all creation to himself and to God. Christ has united all people to himself and to one another in His church. Christian's must live as new people. In Philippians Paul writes to tell them to live as citizens of a heavenly city and to grow in their commitment to serve God. His letter to the Colossians the theme is about Jesus being Lord of all creation, including the invisible realm. In Paul's first letter to the Thessalonians the main theme is about Jesus Second Coming and the events that will take place. Those who believe will join him those who do not will experience God's Wrath. In his second letter to the Thessalonians it speaks on Jesus return will be preceded by an apostasy and appearance of the Antichrist. In the first letter to Timothy the themes are that the gospel leads to practical, visible change in Believers lives. In the second letter to Timothy, Paul gives Timothy a boiled clear call the continue the gospel despite suffering. In his letter to Titus Paul discusses the unbreakable link between faith and practice, belief and behavior. And his letter of Philemon it is about the power of the Gospel to transform individual lives and human relationships. In the letter to the Hebrews the theme is Jesus is greater than any Angel, priest, or old Covenant practice and Christians must not forsake the great salvation that Jesus brought about. The Book of James was written of course by Jesus's own brother, James. James tells Christians they must live out their faith and that they should be doors of God's words not just people that listen to God's word. In Peter's first letter he tells those that preserving Faith while suffering persecution should be full of Hope. In his second letter the theme is about God's grace and Christ truly transformed and empowers Christian to live righteously despite opposition to do so. This is his final letter to the churches and it reminds them by God's grace they should live in a way that is pleasing to God. In the first and second letters of John, he calls us back to the three basics of Christian life, true Doctrine, obedient living, and faithful devotion. In Jude's letter the theme is how The Church Must defend one true faith Believers must be faithful to The End by resisting false teachers and following the truth. The Book of Revelation written by John, unveils the Unseen spiritual war in which the church is engaged colon the cosmic conflict between God and His Christ on the one hand and Satan and his evil allies, both demonic and human, on the other side. It also tells the readers that Christ already triumphed through his sacrifice on the cross and further encourages us to avoid the pitfalls of this fallen world.

      Hm? Again, I note that the Synoptic authors don't mention the raising of Lazarus (after 4 days of being dead, no less). I suppose they just forgot about that one! And, again, the Synoptic authors don't mention any of Jesus' "I am" statements. I suppose they forgot about those too! :)

    I agree with everything you except one thing you have said that Jesus Christ died for them , Jesus Christ died for all sinners.

    Phil 2:5Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 2Tim 2:13If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. 2Cor 13:5Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

    Wow, I've learned more about the bible from this video than I ever have in 30 yrs lol. I struggle to believe that miracles could be performed.

      I have the same struggle, Mia-the ancients would have had similar skepticism on that front. It seems the apostle's willingness to die as martyrs (without riches or worldly power) won enough people over for the story of Jesus' miracles to "stick" for so long.

      @@OverviewBible Thanks. Yeah, I don't think I'll ever believe miracles happened physically as they're told, but I do think miracles happen in other ways. I have started reading John in the Bible itself, with a Christian helping me study it, and it is really beautifully written and poetic like you say. I think regardless of whether these miracles are true or not, there is a lot that reading the Bible can do for my wellbeing. I want my expand and grow my spirituality, and feel closer to God, and I think this will really help. I'm so excited to finally explore this withouot anyone (my Muslim father) telling me it's wrong. :)
