John\'s gospel is unique.
To miss this is to miss the very reason for your existence on this planet.
And John writes for one single, specific purpose: That you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name (John 20: 31).
John writes not as a follower, and not just as an eyewitness, but as Jesus\'s best friend.
John includes seven I am statements and is the only writer that uses the phrase Truly, truly to underscore the extreme importance of these statements.
John describes seven miracles, five unique to his gospel.
John writes long after the other gospel letters had been distributed among the churches.
And it was because of John\'s unique relationship with Jesus that Jesus committed the care of his mother to him.
Only John was at the foot of the cross comforting Jesus\'s mother while the rest hid in fear.
But more than all that, John was the first disciple to be chosen and the only one at the very end.
And in Jesus\'s moment of deepest distress in the garden before his death, only these three were invited deep into the garden to pray with Jesus.
It was John that leaned on Jesus\'s breast at the Last Supper and was told who the betrayer was.
Only these three were invited onto the mountain to witness his transfiguration experience.
Only these three were allowed into the room when Jesus raised the synagogue officials daughter from the dead.
You might say his best friend Peter, James, and John were Part of an inner circle that Jesus included exclusively.
John was Jesus\'s closest friend.
What makes it unique is the author, John, and the perspective he brings to the person and character of Jesus.
