Jesus Christ came to earth for a purpose. His coming was a conscious decision.

This reading plan aims to trace some of those statements to make us aware of Jesus’ mission.

What do the miracles that Jesus performed 2000 years ago have to do with your life? Quite a lot, because Jesus is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Step into the Gospel of John and read through the influence and impact Jesus had the two weeks preceding His death. Once you experience God’s truth, you will never look at life the same – for Jesus is greater than any fear that grips your life or joy that fills your heart.
