Everyone knows what a plane is, right?

That depends.

How it’s used in a sentence is what reveals its meaning.

“We boarded the plane for our vacation.”
“The artist sketched a cube on a flat plane.”

Same word. Different meaning.
Context is what gives it meaning.

Last night at Starkville Bible U, we began our study of John—and it was wonderful. Those who got the most from the lesson will tell you the key was prayer and reading through the whole book.

Because context is what gives things their meaning.

We invite you to join us in the study of the Gospel of John—not only to better understand Jesus, but to better understand yourself.

Because context is what gives things their meaning.

Jesus is context for everything.

“All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.”
— John 1:3

We hope you’ll read through the entire Gospel of John and join us next Tuesday.

A link to the study questions for Lesson 2 is in the comments.
