While each of the Gospels presents Christ with a distinct emphasis, the Gospel of John focuses on his greatness--as the timeless Creator-God of the universe, as the Word made flesh, as the gracious lover of our souls, and as the only way to the Father.

Instead of detailing the facts and events of Jesus' earthly life as the other Gospel writers do, John concentrates on the meaning of his works, clearly presenting him as the long-awaited Messiah with one mission in mind: to do the work of the Father who sent him.
