Someone has said that the Gospel of John is "the greatest Book in the world." Another has declared it to be "the greatest love story ever told." No one would dare surmise how many lives have been drawn to Christ and transformed by this Gospel. Before his conversion, John, the son of Zebedee, the brother ofJames, had been a rugged fisherman casting nets on the Sea of Galilee. Though not named in the narrative, he simply refers to himself as "the disciple whom Jesus loved." This does not denote pride, but rather deep humiliation. It was the profound exaltation of the love of God which had drawn the wayward John to the Lord Jesus. John never ceased to marvel at this love which had changed his life completely.
