The Gospel of John uses rich symbolism, brilliant irony, and contrasting opposites to highlight the divine nature of Jesus. Part Two of our study (John 11‒21) begins with the final “sign” of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead and takes readers to the hour of Jesus’s glorification in his passion, death, and resurrection. Enter into this deeply spiritual Gospel and its remarkable account of the Son of God who is willingly “lifted up” on the cross, fully revealing the Father and drawing all people to himself. Commentary, study and reflection questions, prayers, and access to online lectures are included. 5 lessons.
