tj,

I think you could use the eight hours quite well by using the Gospel of John. In it we can find examples of Jesus' discourse with people and the miracles He performed that not only make it clear who He is but what He came to do.

John highligts the reality of sin in various ways especially by emphasizing our total dependence on God for salvation alone. Just as our physical birth was not the result of our own effort or will, so our spiritual birth is not do to us, but to God's will and the power of His Spirit (John 1:12, 13; 3:5-8).

When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of Glory died, my richest gain I count but loss and pour contempt on all my pride. - Isaac Watts
