The Bridegroom

I stand as one who knows that tremendous things are being offered to me, things that defy
understanding. I cannot come near to comprehending the glory of these things. John

walked in greater closeness to Yahshua than any of the other disciples. He remained focused
on the surpassing greatness of Yahshua, as is revealed in his gospel. He never forgot that

love was the foundation upon which his relationship to Christ Yahshua was built, as is
