An easy one!
You got it! The last of the gospels in the New Testament is indeed the Gospel of John, but there's so much more to this unique book than just its position in the lineup. Unlike Matthew, Mark, and Luke—often called the Synoptic Gospels due to their similar perspectives—John’s gospel takes a distinct approach.
For starters, it doesn’t begin with Jesus' birth but instead with a deep, poetic reflection on the nature of Jesus as the “Word” or “Logos” of God. Remember that iconic opening line? “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” It has that grand storytelling vibe that pulls readers into the profound mystery of existence itself!
Fun fact: John’s Gospel also delights in those so-called “I am” sayings—where Jesus reveals who he is through metaphors (like bread, light, and shepherd). They really invite readers to appreciate his teachings on a more personal level.
Moreover, John’s narrative strikes closer to home with its emphasis on love and community. For example, the beloved disciple, often thought to be John himself, portrayed deep relationships, setting a precedent for the extraordinary community around Jesus—one built on love and authentic connection.
So as you explore the Gospel of John, dive deep into these rich themes and enjoy the unique lens it offers into the life and heart of Jesus.
