John 5 – Jesus is the healing for the world crippled by sin.
John 6 – Jesus is the bread of life for the world which is starving.
John 7 – Jesus is the life for the world which only knows death.
John 8 – Jesus offers forgiveness for the world which only knows guilt.
John 9 – Jesus offers sight to the world blinded by sin.
John 10 – Jesus is the good shepherd who lays down His life for His sheep.
John 11 – Jesus is the one who gives life to those who are dead.
John 12 – Jesus is the one to be lifted up so that those beaten down by sin will be raised eternally.
