John – Awestruck Friend (A Glimpse of Hope)

John and Jesus were friends—probably cousins as well. In all likelihood they grew up at least acquainted with each other. It may be one of the factors why he (along with his brother James) was so ready to jump out of his father’s boat and join the ministry of Jesus when he called him to be his disciple. During Jesus’ three-year ministry, John was, it appears, constantly by his side.
