As Jesus faces the prospect of death on the cross the next day, he prepares his disciples for his farewell.  In this last meal and discourse, Jesus will teach them about love, service, obedience and the Trinity.  In these chapters are some of the most comforting passages in the Bible that offer lasting hope in the face of grief.

The people of God stand on the edge of the land that God has promised them.  A land that the people had failed to take when God gave it to them.  Deuteronomy is Moses' final sermon to the people - urging them to be love and obey the God who has been faithful to them. 

John was one of the closest disciples of Jesus.  He was not only an eyewitness of the great signs that Jesus performed but he also wrote the words of Jesus so that those who believe in Jesus as God's Son and God's King would have true and lasting life in his name.  In a world of darkness, Jesus is the light of life for all.
