In his book, John explains his reason for writing:
“Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” (20:30-31, NIV)
In other words, his account is not exhaustive but it provides sufficient evidence for us to believe in Jesus, the son of God – much like an engaged couple don’t know everything about each other but they know enough to commit to marriage.
So what were the ‘signs’ that were witnessed by Jesus followers and that lead us to this conclusion?
Over the next few weeks at St George’s, we will be walking with Jesus’s disciples, through John’s gospel, to see what they saw.
Join us as we look at the evidence for Jesus being the Messiah, God’s chosen saviour, and learn about the life he brings – one of fullness now and life after death.
Sundays at 10.30am. All are welcome.
