Meeting Jesus: The Transformational Encounters of John's Gospel

By Jeremy Norton

Leading an unremarkable life in Galilee, a fisherman named John became an eyewitness to God stepping into human history. Guided by the Holy Spirit, this apostle wrote his Gospel account as a testimony to the radical moments he experienced, when Jesus met men and women in the midst of their ordinary struggles and changed the trajectory of their lives forever.

The encounters John recorded are not random but deeply intentional. Jesus crossed cultural, social and religious boundaries to demonstrate that no life is beyond His reach, and each encounter shows that meeting Him leaves no one unchanged. From Nicodemus' late-night questions to the blind man's restored sight to Lazarus' return from the grave, these narratives demonstrate the power of Divine love on the human experience.

Further, the encounters transcend history, speaking directly into the believer's life today. John presents not only a Messiah Who meets us where we are but also One Who calls us into a new way of being-into the very life of God as His children. Meeting Jesus challenges readers to reflect on their own journeys with Jesus, providing a fresh perspective on the Gospel of John and inspiring a deeper relationship with Christ and a renewed understanding of His mission and love.

"Jeremy Norton has written a compelling look at the life-changing encounters with Jesus in John's Gospel. What I love about this book is how he makes biblical characters like skeptical Nathanael and doubting Thomas feel like people we know today. Norton combines solid biblical insight with a pastor's heart, and his reflection questions turn reading into real spiritual growth. His writing is both accessible and substantive-perfect for anyone wanting to understand how meeting Jesus can truly transform lives. Whether you're leading a small group or growing in your own faith, this book will both challenge and encourage you. Highly recommended."
