Entry to St.John (all)

In my previous blogs about the gospels, I have simply compared how they tell the story of Jesus, and I have now realized that I should also be analyzing the reasons and what they are trying to tell us.
The Book of John tries to explain Jesus' nature. In doing so, this gospel leavs out a lot of the things that appear in the earlier Gospels of Matthew, Luke, and Mark. Thus, this last Gospel excludes Christs' little parables, a lot of his background, and all the talks about the kingdom of God. The Gospel According to St. John is more of an explanation of his divinity. It has more about how he's the son of God and the source of all the light and what not. This also includes a lot of the miracles he preforms in the other Gospels, but finally introduces the water into wine one which I had been waiting to read about. It also seems as if in the other ones, he doesn't really want people to know that he's the "Son of God," while in this one he openly proclaims it.
I'm a really philosophic guy so I kind of like this one more because of what it shows. The others are really monotonous, and I'm glad that this last one was a good change.
