ABIDE: Encountering Christ through the Gospel of John

By Patrick J. Ransom

You can know a great deal about Jesus and still find yourself longing to know Him more deeply. John’s Gospel invites you to encounter the Savior, trust Him, and remain in Him.

ABIDE is a 52-week devotional journey through John’s Gospel. Each week offers space to consider Scripture and respond with a concrete practice for everyday life.

My prayer is that these pages will help you slow down, spend time in God’s Word, and grow in your relationship with Christ.

52 weeksGospel of JohnReflection & application

Make room to listen.

  1. Read the passage. Give the words of Scripture your attention before turning to the devotional.
  2. Reflect honestly. Consider what the passage reveals about Jesus and where it meets your life.
  3. Respond in faith. Take one concrete step, then return to it as the week unfolds.
Do I need to begin in January?

You can begin at any time. The 52-week format gives you a yearlong rhythm without requiring a particular start date.

Can I read alongside someone else?

Yes. Read the same passage, talk about what you’re learning, and pray for each other as you put it into practice.

Begin with John.
