Overview of The Gospel of John:
The Gospel of John is written by one of Jesus Christ’s disciples, John, the son of Zebedee. This Gospel is 21 Chapters long. John is described as the “Disciple of Whom Jesus loved”. It has been determined by biblical scholars that John wrote The Gospel of John (also known as “According to John”).
It was written around A.D. 80-90, about 50 years after he witnesses Jesus’ earthly ministry under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and as an eyewitness in composing the gospel. He is not John the Baptist. However, in this book, John the Baptist is discussed.
The Gospel of John explains who Jesus Christ is before creation. It establishes his deity as Creator of the World, The Father (I AM), and is the long-awaited Messiah, the Son of God in the flesh.
Its purpose is to explain that even though Jesus is the Creator and God (I AM), believers are to understand that Jesus is the Son of God that came in the flesh and yet while we were sinners, died for our sins and rose again to become Savior of the World-reconnecting us to God. That is why we pray to the father in Jesus Christ’s name.
Defeating death and sin by the shedding of his blood and life, Jesus gives the gift of everlasting life with repentance. That by believing you may have life in his name (20:31) John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
God is omnipresent meaning he can be in more than one place at the same time. He can be on earth (flesh) and in heaven (spirit) at the same time.
Revelation 19:6 “And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thundering, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.”
Isaiah 9:6 “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son, is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”

Overview of The Gospel of John – Chapter Fourteen
In this lesson on John Chapter 14, students will explore Jesus’ comforting words to His disciples as He prepares them for His departure. This chapter highlights the unity between Jesus and the Father, the promise of the Holy Spirit, and the assurance of peace. Students will gain a deeper understanding of Jesus’ mission and the disciples’ role as they continue His work in the world.
In John Chapter 14, Jesus prepares His disciples for His departure, offering comfort and strengthening their faith. When they ask to see the Father, Jesus confirms that they are looking at him as He and the Father are one.
He tells them he goes to prepare a place for them promising that they will one day be reunited. . He stated that in his Father’s house there are many mansions.
Jesus warns them of the Prince of this world (the devil), who has no power over Him nor belief in him. Through these words, Jesus reassures His disciples of His continual presence and the strength they will receive through the Holy Spirit.
Note: Jesus refers to Satan, the devil, as the “Prince of this World” not a God. There are people in the bible that referred to Satan as “the God of this world”. There is only one God. Jesus Christ has God in him in the flesh and is now spiritually is God. The word that became flesh. Jesus is the external representation of God (reference John Chapter One)
It is important to be consistant in your belief. When reading the bible sometimes we must give priority to Jesus speaking than the disciples because the disciples were men and often spoke with their language referring to their tradition and culture at that time. Jesus message is consistant.

10Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
11Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.

3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

15If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

28Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
29And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
