The fourth Gospel sets itself apart within the canon, using unique language and stylistic features distinct to its pages. One of the most frequent symbols the author draws on is the kosmos (translated “world” in English); Jesus uses this concept to teach His followers about their mission, their anticipated sufferings, and the Kingdom which is coming. During August, we explored “the world” in John’s thought and saw how it calls us out into our community, ready to shine the light of Christ and cast a vision for moving forward together.
