The Gospel of John, called 'the spiritual gospel' in early church history, is among the most profound books of the New Testament. A powerful portrayal of the earthly life and ministry of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, it explores precious tenets of the faith - Christ's nature, His reasons for coming to earth, His determination to fulfill the Father's will by giving His own life for us, the splendour of His miracles, the supremacy of His love.
