GBG John 13-21

Description

The second half of the Gospel of John draws us in to the intense 72-hour period covering Jesus’ arrest, execution and resurrection. We come face to face with Jesus as he washes his disciples’ feet, prepares them for his departure, and prays earnestly for their souls These chapters are an intimate portrait of a Savior who is determined to Love his friends to the end. John 13 – 21 is sometimes referred to as” “the book of glory” As the twists and turns of the narrative come to a dramatic climax, John wants to fix our eyes on the glory of the Lord Jesus: a glory which-counterintuitively-comes through, and is seen most clearly at, the cross. In God’s salvation plan the crucifixion is not a tragedy but a triumph. As you behold your crucified King in the Gospel of John, you will be moved by his profound power and humble love, as you discover more about what it means to follow him and enjoy life in his name.
