“John tended to refer to himself in his writings not by his name but as ‘the one whom Jesus loved.’ That was especially true in the gospel of John. He certainly didn’t mean that Jesus loved him in an exclusive way. John did not say that with pride; rather, he had great humility, in essence conveying that he, of all people, knew the love of God. John was acknowledging that he was nobody without the love of Christ. It was the hallmark of his identity, even more than his own name. Christ’s love meant everything to him.” (Page 3)
