Does evil’s darkness overwhelm you at times, driving you to despair and hopelessness? Do you wonder what good could come or how to be rescued from a dreadful future? At these times in life, Jesus’ Cross and Resurrection show us the way – through the Savior’s love.
John 18-21 shows us Jesus’ glory. Jesus our God and King came to save us from sin through the humiliation of the cross. We witness His almighty love eclipse the evil we dread. He defeats sin and death forever. Jesus Christ is our only hope – who He is, what He has done and what He will do.
In this 6-week study, John draws us into God’s story. Follow Jesus through His last hours of earthly ministry. Witness Him faithfully complete His work while caring for others. Walk with John through Jesus’ trials. Feel the guilt of Peter’s denials. Hear Jesus’ world-changing shout, “It is finished!”
Go with John and the faithful women gathered at the cross, through grief and into Jesus’ empty tomb. See them embrace their risen Savior only a few days later. Jesus’ Resurrection is the highlight of the gospel. It gives abundant evidence to convince all who are willing to believe and live by faith in Jesus.
John’s final chapter provides two snapshots to show how Jesus works in those who trust Him today. Has he called you to follow Him and “fish for people”? Jesus’ last words in John’s Gospel speak of His coming again. Will you worship the risen Lord and prepare for His return by feeding His sheep? What better way could you spend the next few weeks than in John's final chapters, following Jesus and experiencing His love?
