Nothing lifts our spirits and brings us peace, as does hearing the good news of great joy, which is for all people—and that is the miraculous birth of our Savior.

And why doesn’t John identify this person? “Is the Beloved Disciple’s lack of identity simply because he or she was a minor character lucky to have been mention at all?” my professor asked.

The life of Christ is an exhaustless theme. It reveals a character of greater massiveness than the hills, of a more serene beauty than the stars, of sweeter fragrance than the flowers, higher than the heavens in sublimity and deeper than the seas in mystery.
