Gospel of John: The Son of God

“Only in the Gospel of John is Jesus reported as using the title of himself (chs. 5:25; 9:35; 10:36; 11:4). The Jews of Christ's time clearly understood the title in its highest sense (see ch. 19:7). John’s objective in writing a Gospel was to provide convincing evidence that “Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; (ch. 20:31)” (SDA Bible Dictionary 1032).
 
in the lower right corner:

This is the key Greek term in the gospel of John which means “Word” (logos). John used logos to represent “Jesus as the incarnate expression of divine wisdom that made salvation possible, of the divine character and will, and of divine power active in the transformation of men’s lives” (5 BC - 894).

Morse code on the top left side: 

The Morse code here ties in with the other Morse code in the glass throughout the Sanctuary. The Morse code is used in the other glass to give in Morse code key texts and subjects of the Seventh-day Adventists twenty-seven fundamental doctrines of belief. John’s aim is not so much biographical or historical as it is theological, which would place his interest and focus on doctrine that relates to Jesus.
 

The scroll in the upper left-hand corner:

This scroll is diagonally across from the word  to emphasize this important word for John. The scroll is above the Jesus turning water into wine miracle, whereas the word  is below Jesus carrying the cross. This is to symbolize how the Word addresses itself to man's highest joys and deepest sorrows.
 

The sheaves of wheat as seen on the middle left side:

The wheat sheaves symbolize Jesus as the bread of life of which bread is made. The exact number of seven pairs of grain for each sheaf represents the Word of God as the perfect answer to all our needs.

 
Twenty-one sections of glass across the top of the glass:

Represents the twenty-one chapters in the gospel of John.
 

The Greek title: According to John.
 

The cluster of grapes:

There are thirty-three grapes to represent the age of Jesus when He died. Also, this cluster represents the all-sufficient life of Jesus that was crushed.

 
The sections of glass at the bottom of the glass—a group of three and a group of sixteen:

These sections represent John 3:16.
 

I AM:

In Hebrew, as in English, this name is a form of the verb “to be” and implies that its possessor is the eternal, self-existing one (ch. 8:58; DA - 469, 470).

 
The dove above Christ’s head:

This signifies the Holy Spirit empowering the ministry of Jesus.
 

The basin with towel:

Represents the foot-washing ceremony instituted by Jesus at the Last Supper, which is recorded only in the gospel of John (ch. 13:1-17).
 

Teardrop placed above the grape cluster:

Represents the shortest verse in scripture—“Jesus wept” (ch. 11:35).
 

WAVY water line just above basin and above the word :

This connects the idea of the foot washing with baptism, as well as the cleansing effect of the blood shed on the cross for our sins.
 

The white lamb carried by Jesus:

This represents Jesus as pure and innocent.
 

Jesus with staff:

Jesus is portrayed as the shepherd and His staff is in seven sections to symbolize the perfection of this instrument. 

Consider carefully the purpose and significance of the shepherd’s rod and staff. The eastern shepherd’s rod is an extension of his right hand, his weapon of defense against enemies, the mark of his power, and authority to protect and discipline his flock. In the same way the Word of God is an extension of Himself. It bears the mark of His authority. It is a sure weapon against evil (Hebrews. 4:12; Ephesians. 6:17). With it, God disciplines His children (2 Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 12:5, 6). The staff is an instrument unique to the shepherd and is used for control of the sheep, for guidance, and for comfort. Our divine Shepherd gently convicts, leads, and comforts us through all the vicissitudes of life (Senior Sabbath Lesson, 4th quarter, 1983, p. 50).
 

Green cross:

The color green symbolizes how the cross of Jesus brought life to men through His death. This cross overlaps the resurrection concept (eagle and tomb) behind it that speaks of life in Jesus as well.
 

Eagle in front of stone:

The eagle being a creature of the air reveals Jesus as the One who is from Heaven and whose home is there. The circle in front of the eagle represents the tomb that the resurrected Jesus was victorious over. The eagle is about to ascend, and this represents Jesus’ anticipation of His ascension to His Father after His resurrection.
