THE GOSPEL OF JOHN

Part 1: The Word That Changed The World

The Gospel of John is a breathtaking biography of Jesus, simultaneously cosmic in scope and yet deeply personal. The story begins before creation itself, introducing Jesus as the eternal Word who became flesh to tabernacle among us. In the early stages of the story, Jesus subverts human expectations and offers surprising hope, undoing religious transactionalism and instead offering living water, new birth, and true worship.

In this part of our journey through the Gospel of John, we’re invited to abandon our attempts at self-reliance, self-optimization, and self-improvement, and instead answer Jesus’s simplest, most profound call: to “come and see” the Word that changed the world, and be transformed as a result.

Read + Reflect + Rest

This Week’s Reading

Week 1 | John 1:1-18

Welcome to a journey through the Gospel of John.

This reading guide is a simple invitation to spend time daily immersing yourself in the story of Jesus according to the disciple “whom he loved.”

As we study the Gospel of John together as a church, we invite you to spend time each week reading, reflecting on, and resting in the specific part of the story we’re exploring that week at WestGate.

Eugene Peterson once wrote that, “We must never… force Scripture to fit our experience. Our experience is too small; it’s like trying to put the ocean into a thimble. What we want is to fit into the world revealed by Scripture, to swim in this vast ocean.”

Our hope and prayer is that as you read, reflect on, and rest in the Gospel of John, you might find yourself in this vast ocean, discovering new depths, experiencing the quiet work of God’s Spirit, and encountering Jesus in all of life.

According to the author, this story was written, “that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.”

May you experience life through the story. Enjoy.
