Gospel Of John

The Gospel of John presents Christ, right from the beginning, as the tangible reality of God’s plan for the world. The message of John’s gospel speaks about God, creation, and the meaning and message of Jesus Christ.

This gospel was likely written between 90 and 100 AD, after the other three-Matthew, Mark and Luke. It originates from the Johannine community, a community of Jewish Christians who continued to worship at the synagogue until the destruction of the temple in 70 AD.

John focuses on Jesus as the Word Became Flesh, existing before creation. The prologue found in the gospel of John echoes the creation story in Genesis: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Additionally, the role of the Holy Spirit is frequently spoken of in the Gospel of John.
