The Book of John Isn_t What Most People Think

A gospel that reads like a novel. A Jesus who speaks in long theological discourses. A book that calls its readers to believe. The Gospel of John is the most beloved book of the New Testament. It is also the most misunderstood.In this episode, I uncover the hidden structure of John that most readers miss. The book opens with a prologue that echoes Genesis: In the beginning was the Word. It then presents a series of signs, seven miracles that point to Jesus's identity. Each sign is followed by a discourse where Jesus explains its meaning. The structure is not random. John is building a case. He is calling his readers to make a decision. Believe or reject. Light or darkness. Life or death.John is not a biography. It is a testimony. The author was an eyewitness. He saw the miracles. He heard the discourses. He stood at the foot of the cross. He ran to the empty tomb. He is not telling a story. He is telling his story. The book of John is an invitation to see Jesus through the eyes of someone who knew him best.Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and press play because the book of John is not what most people think. It is better.
