JOHN WAS THE LAST SURVIVING APOSTLE and one of the few still living who had seen Jesus in the flesh. It would be easy for young believers―removed from Christ’s life, death, and resurrection by a generation and surrounded by a hostile government and unbelieving neighbors―to have doubts and second thoughts about their faith. This book was written in the late 80s after the terrible persecutions of Nero (A.D. 54-68) and the total destruction of Jerusalem (A.D. 70). The church had flourished under persecution, but believers needed reassurance of the truth of Christianity. John, a venerable eyewitness to all that Jesus had done and faithful follower of his Lord, would give that assurance through his personal account of the gospel story. Study John’s Gospel and grow in your personal knowledge of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
