St. John was the son of Zebedee, and the brother of St. James the Great with whom he was brought up to the trade of fishing. While Jesus was spreading his teachings and his miracles St. John entered public ministry. Then in his first year of public ministry our Lord called him to be an Apostle. He was called to be an Apostle with his brother, as they were mending their nets on the sea of Galilee. St. John was the youngest of all the apostles, and outlived the others.

It is hard to list in details, all the challenges that St. John faced. His challenges were truly followed by God's will and helped many people. St. John was one of the first ones who understood and studied how a person should live, how should he behave, and how moral his life should be. He was one of the first to follow those holy principles, and show them to others. One of his greatest challenges was wri

Writing a Gospel was not the only great challenge that St. John performed in his life. He became the "beloved disciple" and the only one of the Twelve who did not forsake the Savior in the hour of Jesus Passion. He proved it himself by referring to himself in a Gospel with a proud humility as "the disciple whom Jesus loved." Jesus would have him present with Peter and James at His transfiguration and His agony in the garden. Also John was chosen to go with Peter into the city to prepare the Last Supper. St. John stood faithfully at the cross when the Savior made him the guardian of his mother.

There are a lot of things that I learned from St. John's life. His writings were very important for Christian history, therefore for millions of people who taught from his writings, and that includes me as well. I learned that loving all people is important but not just loving the once who only give you love. Giving love to God important. I should not worry about my clothes or possessions or what worries I should overcome the next day. God takes care of that. I am a lot different right now. I worry about what I will ware the next day, if I lost something I can panic, when I do not realize that the more I panic the less I have a chance of finding the thing that I have lost. St. john was a great hero and he was willing to give up his life for God and for everyone and for the future. From this I learned that this person really was a hero and he was teaching us how to live the right way in life.

St. John is called the Apostle of Charity, a virtue he had learned from his Divine Master. He used that virtue in his words and actions. The "beloved disciple" died at Ephesus, where a stately church was erected over his tomb. It was afterwards converted into a Mohammedan mosque.
