Pray for God’s Wisdom and Understanding,
In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

The Gospels,
St. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

4. The Gospel of St. John, Chapters 1-21.
The Gospel of John endeavors to explain the mystery of the Person of Christ by the use of the term "logos"(word) and was written to confirm Christians in the belief that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of God. Its purpose is evangelical and is so stated in John 20:31. John not only records events as do the other Gospels but also uniquely interprets the events by giving them spiritual meaning. The author makes significant use of such words as light, water, life, love, and bread.Traditionally the author of this Gospel is considered to have been John, the Beloved Disciple.

Thanking God, for teaching us his Word, In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
