John: Jesus and the Invitation
Welcome to the Book of John! Throughout this series, we see Jesus encountering people publicly, privately, and through His passion. All of these movements have one message: Believing in Jesus leads to life. In John 1, we encounter Jesus in His incarnation, His identity, and His invitation. The God of the Universe wants you to come to Him and find the abundant, spiritual, and eternal life you were meant to live. This is only found when we believe, behold, and be with Jesus. So come and see Jesus for all that He is and find life in His name.
