I hope you had a wonderful Christmas season and are ready for a new year. I’ve enjoyed studying the Gospel of John and have chosen this year to send devotionals from that book. The book was written by John the disciple; not John the Baptist. We will see that Jesus truly loved John and trusted him completely. Remember when Jesus was on the cross, He asked John to care for His Mother. John also deeply loved Jesus. He shares many intimate details of Jesus’ life and ministry.
I think John was probably a pretty timid person. He writes this entire book in third person without identifying himself. He calls himself “the one Jesus loved”. There are many well known and important verses in John, including one that shares the purpose of the book “but these have been written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name (20:31).”
I trust you will enjoy and benefit from the study of the book as I have.
Blessings,
Joe
