John was one of the twelve disciples. In fact, he was one of the three closest disciples to Jesus during His earthly ministry. As we navigate through John, read this through the lens of an eyewitness account of the ministry of Jesus Christ. The thesis for his writing is in the 20th chapter, verse 31: “Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God” clearly showing John’s desire to show that Jesus came as a man, but is undoubtedly the Christ, the Son of God. John makes the case that Jesus’ purpose has always been to be Light and Life for mankind, and in turn, our response should be to be the light and life that is displayed in the ministry of Jesus.
