• ·         John often mentions that Jesus depended on the Father and did the work the Father sent Him to do.
• ·         People were not to believe “in” John the Baptist but “through” him.
• ·         This whole Gospel of John is written to show the truth of Jesus’ Messiahship and to present Him as the Son of God, so that the readers may believe in Him.
