# Through John's Gospel

**In one sentence:** John wrote so that you may believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and have
life in His name (John 20:30-31), and in each of these chapters Jesus gives Himself under a picture
Israel already knew, so you can see in Him what God had promised all along.

The weeks follow the Gospel's own order, chapter by chapter.
