Differently from the three the synoptic Gospels, John’s Gospel gives a distinct and unique perspective of the life of Jesus Christ. This was written clearly and purposefully for the hearers. The Gospel is divided in to two major parts in which John unfolds the purpose for which he composed the Gospel. As clear as it is demonstrated in the fourth Gospel. In order to gain a necessary understanding of the purpose of the Gospel, there is a need to unfold and expand on the way of the messiahship of Jesus Christ. John’s unique perspective is purposeful while aiming to gain a spiritual understanding and a meaning of the Gospel.

John’s Gospel narrative tells of Jesus, who draws large crowds of people who follow him because they see the healing that He performed on people. (6:1-14) Jesus perceives of their physical need and gathers up five loaves and two small fishes. After blessing the loaves and gives thanks, he distributes the food the people through the disciples. God’s faithfulness through Jesus’ proclamation is to supply every need when the Kingdom of God and His righteousness is sought first.

The man is brought before the Pharisees to be tested by hearing his testimony. The Pharisees examination and eventual attitude testifies of their blindness of deliberate misinterpretation of the miracle that took place. The blind man’s testimony conveys that anyone who is willing can be made whole and healed. The Pharisees attitude confirmed the opposite by their rejection of the miracle that would have pointed them to God.

Only God is able to open the ways to heal and give life. In the account of the death of Lazarus, Jesus comforts by the stating of the sickness is not deadly. (11:1-44). Yet he choses to glorify God through it by taking distance and returning to Judea. To
