And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me (John 12:32).
John, in his writings, painted a beautiful portrait of our Lord and Savior:
John 1 – Jesus is the way which must be followed by man.
John 2 – Jesus is the temple, which can never be destroyed and through which man is able to be with God.
John 3 – Jesus is the light for a world in darkness.
John 4 – Jesus is living water for a world thirsting to death.
John 5 – Jesus is the healing for a world crippled by sin.
John 6 – Jesus is the living bread for a world starving.
John 7 – Jesus is life for a world who knows only death.
John 8 – Jesus offers forgiveness for a world who knows only guilt.
John 9 – Jesus offers sight to a world blinded by sin.
John 10 – Jesus is the good shepherd who lays down His life for His sheep.
John 11 – Jesus empties the graves of those obedient unto Him.
John 12 – Jesus is lifted up so those who are beaten down by sin may be lifted up.
