Power Book

By Reverend Michael Farias

The Gospel of John presents a powerful message. John's gospel tells of some of the most powerful, miraculous and amazing stories about Jesus.

John records at least seven miracle stories: The first miracle Jesus ever did was to turn water into wine. That follows with the healing of the nobleman's son (ch. 4), the healing of the lame man at the pool of Bethesda (ch. 5), the feeding of the 5000 and the walking on the water (ch. 6), the restoration of sight to the man born blind (ch. 9), the raising of Lazarus from the dead and (ch. 11); finally there is Jesus' own resurrection.

One after another, these amazing stories  convey a powerful message that help us believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that in Him, there is life.

In addition to the miracle stories, there are quotable quotes.  In fact, the three most popular and well known verses in the entire Bible are found in John.
