In the Bible verse above, John wraps up his ‘Gospel’ or story and reveals the purpose of his writing. He writes so that the reader “may believe Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God.” If you, in reading, do believe, something new will come to you; you will have ‘life in His name”! This is truly, good news! Earlier in his Gospel, John shares that Jesus offers both abundant life (John 10:10) and eternal life (John 3:16). Interestingly, Jesus defines eternal life neither by quantity nor length, but in knowing “the only true God and Jesus Christ” (John 17:3).
I’m deeply convinced that we have reduced the Gospel that Jesus preached. Jesus refers to it as the “Gospel of the Kingdom” (Matthew 24:14). It’s bigger than you think and touches every aspect of life on earth. In fact, Jesus’ main theme in his preaching was the Kingdom of God. E. Stanley Jones, a missionary, said, “The Kingdom of God is God’s total answer to humanity’s total need.” Yes! So, I seek to share and live the whole Gospel and help others do the same.
