The Book of JOHN -- Episode #100
The Apostle John-- author of the Gospel of JOHN-- was the closest human being on Earth to the Savior Jesus. He was called 'BELOVED DISCIPLE' or the 'Disciple Whom Jesus Loved' throughout the Gospel John’s Gospel can be thought of as an 'insiders tell all’ book… not in a bad way but in an INTIMATE and EYEWITNESS sort of Way. John was THERE on the Mount of Transfiguration with Moses and Elijah! John was THERE when Jesus raised Jairus' daughter back to life. John was THERE in the Garden of Gethsemene hearing the sobs and passions as the Son of God prepared for the Cross. His position as a member of the INNER CIRCLE of Disciples gave him a unique and different perspective of Jesus' life and ministry. As the last Gospel written-- John's Gospel reveals a depth of information and understanding about the Plan of Redemption. 'For God so love the world that He sent his on Begotten son.... Jesus'.
