The Gospel of John is one of the most beloved books in all the Bible. But how do you teach it to your kids?
The fourth and final Gospel, John stands apart from Matthew, Mark, and Luke. It skips the manger and the shepherds and opens before the universe even existed, with a startling claim: the baby born in Bethlehem was God himself, stepping into our world. From water turned into wine, to a man born blind sent home seeing, to a dead friend called out of his grave, John fills his pages with signs that reveal who Jesus really is. It's the book that gives us the most famous verse in the Bible, and also some of the boldest claims anyone has ever made.
But John is far more than a collection of familiar stories. It was written for one reason, and the author says so himself: so that readers "may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name." Every sign, every conversation, every "I am" was chosen to answer one question, Who is Jesus?, and to invite each reader to decide for themselves.
What Is the Gospel of John? makes this beloved book accessible for today's young readers. Written in a warm, conversational style that doesn't talk down to kids or shy away from hard questions, this guide walks through all twenty-one chapters of John with:
Engaging illustrations from pop culture—from Superman to The Lego Movie—that connect biblical themes to stories kids already know and love
Clear explanations of Jesus' signs and "I am" sayings, unpacking the seven miraculous signs and seven "I am" statements that reveal who Jesus claimed to be
Real-life application—helping kids see how John's themes of belief, identity, and following Jesus speak to their own questions, doubts, and everyday lives
Whether your child is wrestling with who Jesus really is, learning to trust him through doubt, or ready to explore the most beloved of the four Gospels, What Is the Gospel of John? will show them that the same Jesus who turned water into wine and walked out of his own tomb is still calling people to believe and follow him today.
Perfect for family reading, church classes, or independent study.
