Jesus' Farewell Discourse: A 12-Week Study (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781433599477)

Follow Jesus and His Disciples on the Night Before the Crucifixion with This Engaging 12-Week Study of John 13-17

The Knowing the Bible series is a resource designed to help Bible readers better understand and apply God's Word. These 12-week studies lead participants through books of the Bible and are made up of four basic components: (1) reflection questions help readers engage the text at a deeper level; (2) "Gospel Glimpses" highlight the gospel of grace throughout the book; (3) "Whole-Bible Connections" show how any given passage connects to the Bible's overarching story of redemption, culminating in Christ; and (4) "Theological Soundings" identify how historic orthodox doctrines are taught or reinforced throughout Scripture.

In Jesus' Farewell Discourse, Stephen Witmer leads readers in a deep, engaging study of John 13-17, the Gospel passages between Jesus' public ministry and his crucifixion. Over the course of 12 weeks, readers will explore Jesus' private ministry among the disciples, including his longest prayer to the Father, his declaration that he is "the way, the truth, and the life," and the remarkable acts--such as washing the disciples' feet--that displayed his extraordinary love.
