This week we’ll read the last of the four Gospels, written by the youngest of the 12 disciples.
It’s not just the final Gospel in the Bible, it’s the last one to have been written and it tells us a lot about Jesus that we haven’t read in the previous three Gospels. In fact, about 90 percent of John’s account is found only in John.
In this episode we’ll point out some of those differences and we’ll show you the themes to look for that will help this amazing book come alive as you read it.
