2. The Gospel of John presents to us a story. It is the story of
God. About the glory of His character, the nature of His life
& His desire to share that life w/His creatures. It is about
how He came amongst us & how He received a mixed
response to both His coming & His offer of eternal life.

3.  I am commanded by scripture to teach you the word of
God (see 2nd Timothy 2:14-15; Titus 2:1).
 2nd Timothy 2:14-15
▪ 14 Remindthem of these things, and charge them before God not to quarrel about words,
which does no good, but only ruins the hearers. 15 Do your best to present yourself to God as
one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.
 Titus 2:1
▪ 1 But as for you, teach what accords with sound doctrine.
 There are 4 gospels
 Mark - written w/a Roman audience in mind
 Matthew - written w/a Jewish audience in mind
 Luke - written w/a gentile audience in mind
 John - written w/a Greek audience in mind
 John also writes to encourage new converts.

6.  Online Audio Bibles
 www.biblegateway.com/resources/audio/
 www.youversion.com
 A commentary is a written exegesis of the bible. They
are helpful in understanding the original intent of the
scriptures so that you don’t misinterpret & consequently
misapply them. A few that I will recommend are:
 Commentaries in book form
 D.A. Carson – The Gospel According to John
 Chuck Swindoll – Comentario Swindoll del Nuevo Testamento: Juan
 Online Commentaries
 Google
▪ Click your mouse under the “MORE” tab then select “BOOKS”
▪ Type book name & then hit search
