    About this ebook

    When people met the Lord Jesus in the Gospel of John, they were forced to re-examine their lives and priorities. They came to see life through new eyes--they were changed.

    The Gospel of John is filled with encounters between Jesus and ordinary people of His day. Each of these encounters is unique and has something to teach us about what it means to follow the Lord Jesus. In this study we will examine a variety of these encounters in a way that will challenge you in your own relationship with Jesus. May it be an inspiration to you in your walk with the Saviour.

      PREFACE

      I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full, Jesus said in John 10:10. Men and women flocked to Jesus to hear him preach. Jesus touched their lives during His brief stay on earth. He touched the rich and the poor, the sinner and the religious person, the sick and the healthy. His great desire was that they have an abundant and full life.

      Many years have passed since Jesus rose from the dead. People all around the world are still meeting him today. Countless lives have been changed. People from every nation on earth have testified to having met this wonderful Saviour.

      In this book, we will examine a variety of encounters between Jesus and ordinary people as recorded for us in the Gospel of John. It is my desire that the reader will gain a new appreciation of what it means to meet and follow after the Lord Jesus. May this book serve as a means of introducing many to this great Saviour.

      Chapter 1 - THE APOSTLE JOHN

      When he had gone a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John in a boat preparing their nets. Without delay he called them and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him. (Mark 1:19-20)

      Before we begin this series of reflections on the Gospel of John it may be helpful to learn something about the author. The author of the Gospel of John was one of the twelve disciples of Jesus. He was a fisherman by trade (Mark 1:19-20). John would develop a very close relationship to Jesus. In fact on several occasions he was referred to as the disciple whom Jesus loved (see John 13:23; 19:26; 21:7) He was among the few apostles to see the resurrection of Jairus' daughter from the dead (Mark 5:37). He was with Jesus on the mountain when he saw Jesus gloriously transfigured (Mark 9:2). He was also in the Garden of Gethsemane with Jesus before his crucifixion (Mark 14:33). When Jesus was on the cross, he gave John the responsibility of caring for Mary his mother (John 19:27). After the ascension of Jesus, John became a co-worker with the apostle Peter in spreading the gospel. It was also to this beloved disciple that the risen Jesus revealed the future. John is the author of the book of Revelation. He also wrote the first, second and third epistles of John.

      What did it mean for this man to meet the Saviour? When John met the Lord Jesus he was in a fishing boat. Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee when he saw John fishing. Jesus called out to him. The Bible tells us that when John heard the call of Jesus to follow him, he did two things.

      First, John responded immediately. Jesus expected nothing less of him that day. Later on in his ministry Jesus called another man to follow him. That man responded by saying: Lord, first let me go and bury my father. (Matthew 8:21). Jesus, he was saying, I'm willing to follow you but you caught me at a bad time. I've got a few things to attend to and then I'll come and follow you. Jesus told that man: "Follow me, and let the
