The Disciple Whom Jesus Loved

John was a disciple of Jesus. He wrote five books of the New Testament. He talks a lot about love. St. John is a perspective of the life of Jesus, 1-3 John are instructions, and Revelation, which is a lot of future events. John was taken to the island of Patmos because of his testimony of Jesus. This is where he wrote the book of Revelation. But my favorite book is the gospel of St. John, it has the most popular verse, John 3:16; For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Revelation 1:4; John to the seven churches in Asia, grace to you and peace from Him who IS, and who WAS, and who IS to come. And from the seven Spirits who are before His throne. John is writing letters to seven churches in Asia and Jesus told him what to say.

St. John 1:1; In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

1 John 1:1; That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our own eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word.

It’s cool how John got Revelation and how he got to see all these things that will come to pass. We have the Bible to know what will happen at the end, and since we are his people, we will rejoice!

In Matthew, Jesus called four men to follow him, and immediately they left their boats, and their father and followed him, one was John, who would become his disciple and Apostle. John portrays Jesus as deity, the Son of God. His gospel is really good to read.

We need the Old Testament and the New Testament. We need to tell everyone about Jesus, because we are just nobody trying to tell everybody about somebody that can save their soul. Let’s make heaven crowded, Amen?
