Publisher's Synopsis
In his gospel, the apostle John provides a unique perspective on the public life and ministry of Jesus that is very different from the Synoptic Gospels by Matthew, Mark and Luke. One of the most distinctive features is the recording of what has been called the "Upper Room Ministry", which includes the so-called "High Priestly Prayer of Jesus. The content is even more poignant given that the events described occurred just a few hours before the cross.
These chapters, John 12 through John 17, provide a fascinating insight into who Jesus was, his mission and purpose and his relationship with his God and Father and his disciples. This book explores these in twelve concise chapters, each written by a different author:
CHAPTER ONE: THE REJECTED KING
CHAPTER TWO: THE LAST PUBLIC APPEARANCES
CHAPTER THREE: AN OBJECT LESSON IN HUMILITY
CHAPTER FOUR: THE TRAGEDY OF JUDAS
CHAPTER FIVE: THIS DO IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME
CHAPTER SIX: DISCIPLESHIP - IT'S CHARACTER AND POTENTIAL
CHAPTER SEVEN: THE PROMISE OF THE COMFORTER
CHAPTER EIGHT: THE VINE AND THE BRANCHES
CHAPTER NINE: THE DISCIPLE AND THE WORLD
CHAPTER TEN: THE HOLY SPIRIT'S MINISTRY
CHAPTER ELEVEN: THE FATHER HIMSELF LOVES YOU
CHAPTER TWELVE: FINAL SUPPLICATIONS
