John 21:24-25
New International Version (NIV)
24 This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who wrote them down. We know that his testimony is true.
25 Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.
The gospel of John is such a treasure because it was written by a first hand eye witness to Jesus. I love the verse "We know that his testimony is true." If I had to lose every other book of the Bible, I would hold on to the Gospel of John. The richness, the love, the images:
"the light of the world"[8:12]
"the gate of the sheep"[10:7]
"the good shepherd"[10:11]
"the resurrection and the life"[11:25]
"the way, the truth, and the life"[14:6]
"the real vine"[15:1][8]
"the bread of life" 6:35
It is no wonder, the Gospel of John is often first recommended to new believers or to those who have never read the bible.
