🌿 Introduction
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” — John 1:1
The Book of John stands apart as a deeply spiritual and theological gospel. Unlike the synoptic gospels—Matthew, Mark, and Luke—John takes the reader beyond the events of Christ’s life and into the heart of who He truly is: the divine Son of God. This gospel reveals Jesus as the eternal Word, the Light that pierces darkness, and the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
Through seven miraculous signs and profound “I Am” statements, John invites readers to believe in Jesus Christ not only as a historical figure but as Savior and King. His words are both intimate and cosmic, speaking to the soul and the destiny of mankind.
