              The Gospel of JOHN: The Relationship Between GOD and Man

   There is a Need and GOD has a Solution, in between these two - stands the conflict.

 The Gospel of John could be summarized with the above sentence. But in John, we first see The Solution and that Solution is Jesus. Then we begin to see the Needs. People place Demands on Jesus to Solve The Need. Once the Solution is presented, we also begin to see Conflicts arise.... The Chapter outline below summarizes the Spiritual-Solution, and The Natural-Need shown in John.

 The Book of John is The 4th Gospel. It stands apart from the first Three Synoptic Gospels. (Synoptic = Similar or Comparable Gospels) John presents Jesus as The Eternal Word and as The Man Who perfectly represents GOD in a fleshly form. John most closely follows Jesus’ 3 and ½ year ministry while He follows The Annual Feast Cycle - Three or Four Passovers (See Diagram Below) are shown in John to keep us on track but most prominently one can see John is a story about The Relationship between GOD and Man.  

 3 or 4 Passovers in Jesus' Ministry

 1-- 2:13 Just after Jesus was baptized

 2-- between 4:35 and 5:1 a Passover can be assumed

 3-- 6:4 Jesus feeds 5,000 near Passover

 4-- 11:55 Jesus becomes The Sacrifice
