Seven Wonders from the Cross

No other event was surrounded by so many miracles as the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The magnitude of this event was marked by seven miracles that culminated in the greatest miracle of all: the resurrection of Christ.

old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” –2 Corinthians 5:17

In this lesson we see a new life emerging in one of Jesus’ disciples. As we examine the New Testament we see the Calling of John, the Character of John, and the Change that takes place in the life of John who went from selfish ambition to selfless love.
