In the Book of John, the author wants to establish that Jesus Christ is God’s eternal and divine son. The theme of John’s book is that in Christ we have light and life. Christ is the light that shines in every generation. John records eight distinct miracles and establishes that Jesus was both God and man, the Word made flesh. He ties together several things that happened throughout Scripture so the reader can understand the same God was there in the beginning (in Genesis), He spoke to Moses (in Exodus), and He continues to be with us today. Jesus came that we might have life in His name.
