Most of all he loved his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ whom he wanted others to know and love also.

John spent his last days on earth praying to his God and Savior Jesus Christ trusting Him to help him and hoping in his promises. Now John is celebrating a wonderful eternity with Jesus and other believers.

Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. I Thessalonians 4:13-14
