Bible: The Fourth Gospel, Book Of John

All of the Gospels describe the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, but each author illustrates the stories differently. Scholars believe Mark is the first Gospel written and is symbolized by a lion to denote Christ as powerful and fast-paced. The Book of John, understood to be the last gospel composed, is perceived as an eagle because the story differs greatly and is often more developed than the other Gospels. Comparing John 2 to the Gospel of Mark will depict unique themes and characteristics of Jesus.

Within the pages of the Bible are countless truths that Christians are to live by. When Jesus returned to heaven after redeeming the world from sin, He did not leave His people questioning what to do next. Instead He provided His children with an instruction manual developed by the awe-inspired authors of the Epistles. One such epistle is the insightful book of 1 John. The chapters of this letter contain messages of reassurance in the Lord rather than the world and an urging toward the security of love and faith.

Some reader of the book of John may say that it is difficult to understand then at the same time others see it as somewhat of bewildering. In this book through a series of sermons preach by Tozer. Jesus with his deity is presented In the book And He Dwelt Among Us: Teachings from the Gospel of John, although not written by Tozer, this book consist of a collection of the sermons on the book of John. The book is compiled and edited by James L. Snyder, who himself is pastor. He write this book base on the life and ministry of A.W. Tozer. Snyder`s aim in his writing seem to be to allow his readers to experience the voice of Dr. Tozer through his sermons as one become acquainted with the One who became flesh.

The genius of the Apostle John resides in his ability to penetrate to the theological

The Gospel of John, the last of the four gospels in the Bible, is a radical departure from the simple style of the synoptic gospels. It is the only one that does not use parables as a way of showing how Jesus taught, and is the only account of several events, including the raising of Lazarus and Jesus turning water into wine. While essentially the gospel is written anonymously, many scholars believe that it was written by the apostle John sometime between the years 85 and 95 CE in Ephesus. The basic story is that of a testimonial of one of the Apostles and his version of Jesus' ministry. It begins by telling of the divine origins of the birth of Jesus, then goes on to prove that He is the Son of

Christians across the globe have different ideas about Jesus and his story. The Gospel of John and the way it tells Jesus' story is quite different from the other three Gospels primarily because of its author. Even though it is not precisely known who the author of this Gospel is, it is very apparent that he was likely in very close relationship with Jesus himself. Identified only as the beloved disciple, or the disciple whom Jesus loved, we can see this close relationship with Jesus throughout the entire narrative of this Gospel (John 20:2). Therefore, the perspective that this author has of Jesus is one with no negativity whatsoever while also seeing him as both the Messiah and the son of God.

John as we know today was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus. He was also the brother of James, who was also an apostle. John was the son of Zeebee and of Salome. His father was a fisherman while living in Bethsaida in Galilee on the border of the lake Gennesareth. John's mother was one of many women who gave to the maintenance of Jesus Christ. John's parents were very good people, they loved God and his son. It is said that john and his brother James were fishing when Jesus came and chose them. They were soon known as the fishers of men. The John of whom I am talking about is John the Evangelist.

The gospel of Luke and John are gospels about Jesus and John the Baptist. They have several differences and similarities. The Gospel of Luke describes the conception and birth of John the Baptist and Jesus while the gospel of Luke describes their life after birth. Summaries, variances, and connections of these two gospels are discussed below.

All the Gospels tell the same story but just to different people. Of the four Gospels John presents Jesus as God the most. These were written after the life of Jesus, Johns main focus was not just on who Jesus was but more of what Jesus did. So John was giving the Jews truth why they don't have to live under the law and why Jesus did what he did. For me personally, I would struggle with sharing the good news and the love of God and not seeing any instant fruit. But I have come to the conclusion that God doesn't answer on our timing but on his. Also that I might not see instant fruit from inviting someone to church or praying for someone, but I know the least I have done is plant a seed in their heart. It is not my job to make someone accept

The three main ideas that can be understood by the text in the gospel is servitude, humility and selfless love. The first step in understanding the verse is understanding the writing style the author of John took. For the most part the gospel of John is written in third person, like that of the synoptic gospels. The difference between the synoptic gospels and the gospel of Joh is that the author of John has more of a reflective description to his writing. The text also shows clear separation from the author and the events which is what shows the reader of the gospel that the description of event was written then it was recorded. The reader can see the events described through the eyes of the author, however it is not explained as a guide to

This essay will show contrasts in views on the Gospel of John regarding authorship,dates, and the relationship between John's Gospel and the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke. Some comparison of thought, concerning composition and life setting, will also be presented.

The Gospel of John is one of the four gospels within the New Testament. Throughout the Gospel there are many themes that are apparent. Many of the themes are associated with Jesus and him being deemed as the “son of God.” Within the New Testament there are reoccurring themes such as love, power, and sacrifice, but specifically in the Gospel of John, there are eternal life and dualism. The main focus however for this gospel is eternal life of Jesus.

Throughout the Bible, the number seven has had a significant meaning. Beginning in Genesis 1, the number seven was first introduced in God’s creation of the world, where He created it in seven days. The Biblical meaning behind the number seven is both comfort and completion. The series of seven continues in John’s gospel with the seven signs and Jesus’s seven “I am” statements which are: I am the bread of life, I am the light of the world, I am the door, I am the good shepherd, I am the resurrection and the life, I am the way, the truth, and the life, and I am the true vine. In John 14:6, Jesus states the He is the light of the world and this statement had both an impactful meaning then and now.

The book of John expresses that the Word of God has always existed.This is illustrating that God has been here forever. He is an everlasting God. The Word is revealed as Jesus Christ. He, the Word, was with God and was God. Everything was created through Him. All aspects of life have light through the Word.

The word 'gospel' means good news. There are four gospel accounts in the New Testament:
