Another thing that's interesting is that John, over one-third of John's gospel, chapters 12 through 19, covers the last week of Jesus. And so it really focuses on that crucial work that he did, that centerpiece of his death, burial, and resurrection. That's a really, really important point. And our response to the Gospel of John is the word believe.
And that word believe is used many, many times because as John is showing you that Jesus is God, Jesus is the key to salvation. then the onus is upon us to respond to it, and that is called faithfulness, or we believe, we believe the truth.

Yeah, you mentioned the high priestly prayer in chapter 17. That is an amazing prayer that when we get to that, we'll see that we are focus of that, that he prays that we would be one as he and the Father are one. And that's very, very powerful. You know, every time I hear the Gospel of John, I'm reminded of Pope John Paul II.

Because John Paul II, he did Lectio Divina on the Gospel of John every month of his pontificate. So you could say that he literally owned it. He owned that gospel. And that's something that I would really encourage people to do is choose one of the gospels and own it. You know, really get to know it. Memorize the main theme of every chapter.

Now, John is great for that because every chapter, as I said earlier, is a portrait, really, of who Jesus is. So, you have the very famous nine I am statements of Jesus. So John says about Jesus, I am the bread of life in John 6. I am the light of the world, John 8. And also in John 8, before Abraham was, I am. In John 10, I am the door. John 10, I am the good shepherd.

John 11, I am the resurrection and the life. John 14, I am the way, the truth, and the life. In John 15, I am the true vine. And John 18, I am he. And John seems to enjoy doing this because when he later wrote the book of Revelation, he also picked up on that as well and uses I am the Alpha and the Omega. I am the beginning and the end. I am the first and last. I am he who lives and was dead.

And I am he who searches and reigns. in hearts, and I am the root and offspring of David, and I am the bright morning star. So John is just really into revealing who he is and his divinity, and I think that that is beautiful. The one verse that really caps it all off in John is John 10, 30, where Jesus said, I and my Father are one. I and my Father are are one.

And he who has seen me, in John 14, has seen the Father. End of case. Yeah.
