To say I recommend the Gospel of John to people would be an understatement.
When one of my non-Christian friends asks, “what book of the Bible should I read to learn more about Jesus?” I say, “John.”
When a new Christian wants to know more about their new faith, I encourage them to read John.
When someone has been a Christian for a long time and things are feeling a bit stale, you guessed it: I recommend John.
One commentator wrote that this book is like a pool of water with edges shallow enough for a child to play in and deep enough in the center to sink an elephant. That’s why I am so excited to launch into a new series next weekend on the Gospel of John: there’s something in it for everyone.
So that’s my pitch! Join me this weekend at any of Riv’s 4 venues as we launch into this fantastic book and take time to consider the Jesus on its pages.
