DAY 1 OF 7

  

John wastes no time in his Gospel outlining exactly who Jesus was. He wasn’t just a teacher, wasn’t just a wise man or a miracle worker…this was God incarnate! He has always existed (“the Word” who was with God in the beginning), and then He came to earth exactly as had been prophesied for hundreds and hundreds of years. And once He hits the scene, he immediately starts flipping everything on its head. The first prophet in generations (John the Baptist) points straight to Him, He demonstrates His power over nature in His first public miracle, and He even begins calling out the existing religious establishment. Jesus came on a mission, and He didn’t waste any time getting to work. John had a front row seat to all of this, and he clearly knew early on that Jesus was like no one else in history. 

As you read today, ask yourself these two questions:

  • What verse or moment stood out to me the most?
  • What can I do with that in my life today? 

About this Plan

Challenge Accepted: Bible

Of the 12 Disciples, John was the closest to Jesus. So, his 21 chapters outlining the life and ministry of Jesus are not just historical fact; they are the fond memories of Jesus’ best friend. As you spend the week in this biography of Jesus, try to read it from the perspective of a friend reminiscing on the amazing things he witnessed in the presence of Jesus Himself.
