The gospel of John is acclaimed as one of the greatest literary works of all time, written in a style of simplicity and eloquence. This most revelatory book in scripture addresses the existence, the identity and the co-eternal, co-essential nature of God and Christ and Christ’s role in God’s awesome plan of salvation for mankind. Some of Christ’s many titles and roles revealed include: the Word, the Light, the Lamb of God, the Living Bread, the Bread of God, the Truth, the Good Shepherd, the Son of God, and the Bridegroom.
