Profound Truths from the Gospel of John

This book concentrates on Jesus in the Gospel of John by looking at stories, lessons taught by Jesus, and what Jesus said about some topics. The author seeks to identify, state, and distill specific profound truths from these passages. Knowing the truth is preliminary to believing the truth which leads to doing the truth.

As you read through the chapters and consider profound truths, watch for some keywords and concepts. Watch for commands to obey and examples of obedience. Watch for commands to love and examples of love. Watch for examples of commands to give glory and examples of glory given. Watch for gifts and promises given.

The format is to glean profound truths from the passages. Sometimes stores are paraphrased. Other times a lesson is summarized. Sometimes interesting points are added. Some chapters are very short while other chapters are much longer.

Each chapter is a stand-alone chapter. Each is structured to be a lesson. Jesus is the greatest teacher and we can learn from Him. You will find some duplication because the passages overlap from stories, lessons, and topics.

Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me,

for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long (Psalms 25:4-5).
