all sorts of things. But primarily the Gospel of John is about

and Jesus, particularly the Beloved Disciple and Jesus.
But also I would say Mary Magdalene and Jesus and some of the other disciples

John's Gospel come do for the reader,
for you, is to
discover yourself as the Beloved Disciple.
So the Beloved Disciple isn’t somebody else.
It's me, It’s you.
And in that way I think
Jesus opens his heart to you
and jesus invites us
to share his life and his love and to come to know Him.
To come to know Him

or even perhaps primarily as
Lord or God and but first and foremost as friend
