SON OF GODthe Gospel of the last disciple is epic. John is the richest treasure we possess with its beauty, clarity, depth and power as it tells the story of Jesus—90% of what it says about Jesus’ life and teachings is not found in the other gospels. Jesus stopped the world as he talked about relationships, happiness, meaning, sex, marriage, power, fame, hypocrisy, worry, fear and all the other things we experience. We find people, in private and public, men and women, engaging Jesus, confronting Jesus, and often, not always, mesmerized by his words. We will see people hanging in the shadows, but very curious, others slowly becoming convinced and then committed to Jesus’ boldest claim that he is God. Let’s meet the people, hear their stories, and listen to the wisdom of Jesus.
