The Bible OverBrew - Bible in a Year

DAY 347 OF 365

Week 50. Day 4. John 13-17.

John 13-21 The book of glory / book of the passion

Now the time/hour has come, Jesus speaks about his ‘going’ or ‘departure’ by which he means his death. Notice the many references to ‘glory’ in this section. God’s glory is most clearly displayed, not in kingly majesty, but in the humility of a suffering servant.

Ch 14 Jesus is going. What is the comfort for his disciples?

Ch 15 What will life be life when he is gone?

Ch 16 What more is said about the Holy Spirit here?

Ch 17 In the first half of his prayer, Jesus prays for his 12 apostles. But in the second half he prays for all believers. Take a moment now to ponder the enormity that Jesus is praying these things for you right now.

Note how eternal life is defined in 17:3. This is the John 10:10 ‘life to the full’ that begins now, as the age to come has broken into the present through Jesus’ death, resurrection and pouring out of the Spirit.

NOTE: Days 1-5 of each week contain the scripture reading for that week. Day 6 has just the 'key chapters'. If you want a briefer version of this plan that still takes you through the whole Bible, you could just read the key chapters featured on day 6. Day 7 has the podcast video where we discuss the week's reading.

About this Plan

The Bible OverBrew - Bible in a Year

The Bible OverBrew is a friendly virtual book group, helping you read the Bible in big chunks, preferably with a mug of tea! Maybe you've tried to read through the Bible before, but gave up when it felt confusing or too intense? We are here to help you! We provide notes and questions to guide your reading, and note ‘key chapters’ if you don’t have time to read it all. In our podcast at the end of each week we draw out the key themes, and how it all points to Christ. We’d love you to join us!
