The Life

The apostle John concludes his biography of Jesus by sharing what he hopes his readers will glean. His desire is not that people gain a mere intellectual exposure to the claims, ministry, and work of Jesus. Rather, he hopes they will truly believe that Jesus is who he says he is. John recognizes that faith in Jesus is not a simple academic exercise. It’s possible to be wowed by him but never have faith in him. John’s heart is for people to see Jesus for who he really is and to surrender their lives to him by faith.
