The apostle John readily admits in his Gospel account that he truly did not fully understand who Jesus was – the Son of God – until He had risen from the dead. He wants us to know the Jesus whom he loved so that we might also come to know that we are a disciple whom Jesus loves.
Episode Description
In the Gospel of John, the apostle John often referred to himself as the one whom Jesus loved. He didn’t write that distinction because he was the only one whom Jesus loved; rather, he does so because he didn’t only have knowledge of Jesus, and he didn’t even only simply follow Jesus; rather, he was walking in an intimate love relationship with Jesus. He loved Jesus with all of his heart, soul and strength, and he knew Jesus loved him perfectly. And he desired for the readers of his Gospel to know the same.
