John’s Gospel omits a large amount of material found in the synoptic Gospels, including some surprisingly important episodes: the temptation of Christ, Jesus’ transfiguration, and the institution of the Lord’s supper are not mentioned by John. John mentions no examples of Jesus casting out demons. The sermon on the mount and the Lord’s prayer are not found in the Fourth Gospel. While there are allegories in the gospel, John does not include any narrative parables. Still, there is much in John that gives us a more expansive view of the character and ministry of Christ. In fact, John is distinguished from the Synoptic Gospels in that more than 90% of what he writes about is unique.

 

In today’s Top Ten List, we examine ten important notes about the life, mission, and ministry of Christ that are recorded in the book of John. Scriptures referenced include John 2:1-12; Hebrews 8:6; John 14:6; John 6:35; John 8:12; John 15:5; John 20:30-31; John 1:41, 45; John 2:13-22; John 11:35; John 3:4; and John 1:1-5.
