       Considering the history of the world, there have been a few moments in time when big events happen. What we are talking about here is God's coming into the world, and the whole mission of this first coming, if you will. John will give us insight into certain, unique perspectives at times, that among the other Gospel writers, only he will bring forward. He will also give us a closer look at Jesus' relationship with his disciples. It's good for us to start with an underlying definition of what the Gospel of John is all about. Thankfully, we already have that matter answered for us by the author himself. Indeed, it is stated in John 20:31: “these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” The first point is a common one that we are going to see as we go throughout this book. That is, “believe.” “That you may believe that Jesus is the Christ.” That’s the first thing John wants to emphasize for us.
