The Jewish people already has strong ties and believes in God, however there was some debate whether the Jewish’s people believes that Jesus was the Messiah and or the Son of God. According to C. S. Lewis he made a statement about Jesus and John wholeheartedly agreed with, Lewis wrote “Jesus is lunatic, liar, or Lord”.

    In chapter 3 of Speaking of Jesus, Carl Medearis talks about what it means to own Christianity. He says "If we don't truly know what the gospel is, we have to find an explanation for Christianity." Meaning that if we do not know what the gospel is or what it is teaching us, then we try to define it by our own standards, and that is where it gets messy. Medearis talks about how Christianity is more than a religion, but it is a relationship and people tend to not understand that. He explains why people are so defensive and put up their guards towards Christians, because Christians can be so judgemental.

Undoubtedly, this title and the disciple being depicted laying his head against Jesus in art, made John a popular figure and legendary disciple. In the Acts of the Apostles and Galatians, John is depicted alongside Peter as performing miracles, preaching the good news of Jesus, and even being a ''pillar'' of the church after Jesus' ascension.

Yet, that may be true in order to study every aspect of it and have an understanding, every Christian has the ability to grow deeper into what John is really trying to say in the book of Revelation.
