This plaque is also that special “John” in your life!
The “Eagle’s Eye” View of the Gospel of John
John is depicted on this bronze plaque narrating the Gospel of John to scribes. The eagle – the symbol of the Gospel of John – is in the top right corner of the plaque. Christian tradition has long paired the four “living creatures” standing around the throne of God in Revelation 4:7 with the four Evangelists: the human (angel) symbolizes St. Matthew, the lion symbolizes St. Mark, the ox symbolizes St. Luke, and the eagle symbolizes St. John. But the eagle is also John’s symbol because, as a high-flying creature of the sky, it was believed to be able to gaze straight at the sun without going blind. John gazes straight into Eternity and begins his gospel from this higher perspective with Jesus the Logos, the Eternal Word of God (In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.) The Gospel of John soars at a higher, more theological altitude than do the other three (synoptic) gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke. This solid bronze plaque is an ideal gift for a birthday, name day, or confirmation.

John 1:1-17
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life,and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
There was a man sent from God whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.
The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
(John testified concerning him. He cried out, saying, “This is the one I spoke about when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’”) Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.
