IT IS FINISHED

As the season of Lent approaches, we move into a new series called, "It Is Finished," that focuses on John's narrative of the passion of Christ, the last week of Christ's life. The Gospel of John is a unique and compelling look at the life of Jesus. In chapter 20 verse 31 John makes his purpose in writing clear: “These things are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” The Gospel According to John was written by one who spent three years with Jesus and had a uniquely intimate relationship with Him.
