John’s Gospel
This gospel story is a bit different from the other three, Matthew, Mark and Luke. It takes a big picture view which places Jesus and the people around him into a story which starts at the beginning of the universe and connects big ideas with the realities of everyday struggles to have a better life.
John crafted his account to be meaningful on lots of levels, including the use of the significant number seven, understood by the original readers to stand for perfection or completion of something by God.
John picks seven miraculous signs which show Jesus’ authority to point us to life itself. There are seven important witnesses picked out who saw what Jesus did, seven times Jesus refers to himself using a term people associated with God, and more.
We’ve made an original audio version of this gospel called “Time, Space, Jesus” - see if you can spot how sevens make their way into the soundtrack too!
