Following the Gospel of John, we continue into the other "Johannine" books (works written by the apostle John). We can easily find many similarities between John's Gospel and his first letter known as I John.

John 21: The Story Goes On
John had to be selective about what to include in his Gospel. Verse 25 tells us that the whole world would not have room for the volumes that could be written about Jesus. John uses the last lines of his work to give us one final look at an intimate moment between Jesus and His disciples.

Psalm 5: Two Kinds Of People
There are a lot of "Two Kinds of People In This World" observations. One of my favorites is - "There are two kinds of people in this world - those who believe there are two kinds of people, and those who don't."

John 19: Low In The Grave He Lay...
By now you may have noticed that John's Gospel is quite different than the other three. Matthew, Mark, and Luke are sometimes called the "synoptic" gospels because they see things basically the same way. Their stories are of Jesus' teachings, particularly His parables, and His miracles. The Fourth Gospel (as John is sometimes called) stands apart from the others. There are only a handful of powerful miracles, and long, detailed discourses by Jesus that we do not find in the other three accounts. Personally, I am very thankful that John came along to include this material that would otherwise be missing because we have it nowhere else.
