We have four different stories of Jesus’ life contained in these four books to offer different, holy & sacred perspectives of that same story. We and yet we each need Jesus and strive to follow him. Throughout this series we will be encountering these stories in these four gospels by thinking through who this particular book was written to reach; what we might learn; and how we might be transformed into action by becoming more Jesus-like in our lives.

John’s gospel is over here vibing, taking turns and stops we hadn’t experienced in the other gospels. And John brings in the imagination, the mysticism, or that is to say where the veil is thin, where we encounter the divine, go beyond what makes sense, we enter into territory where we need a story to imagine it, to grasp it. the storytelling that is so crucial to survival and hope.
