John wrote his gospel so we could see God through his son

God did everything that needed to be done for us..our sins. The Bible is a book of God working through his people to solve the problem.
Next Week's Lesson Outline
In this lesson, we will look at how the teaching ministry of Jesus Christ was centered on the kingdom of God—the arrival of God’s reign in fulfillment of His promises to His people. The kingdom puts on display the saving power of God as it is proclaimed to all kinds of people. In response to Jesus’ proclamation of the kingdom of God, we must repent of our own personal agendas, trust in Him as our King, and then represent Him faithfully in the world.
Lesson Outline
1. The kingdom has arrived with the coming of Jesus (Mark 1:14-15).
2. The kingdom is the demonstration of God’s saving power (Luke 4:16-21).
3. The kingdom is proclaimed to all kinds of people (Luke 8:4-8).
4. The kingdom has authority because of the identity of the King (Matt. 7:28-29).
