What does John's relationship with Jesus teach us about intimacy with God?

Answered in 1 source

John's closeness to Jesus exemplifies the kind of intimate relationship believers are called to have with Christ.

John is famously referred to as 'the disciple whom Jesus loved,' illustrating the deep intimacy that characterized his relationship with the Savior. This closeness is seen in John 13:23-25, where John leans against Jesus and seeks to know who would betray Him. This act of leaning on Jesus is symbolic of a trusting and personal faith, encouraging believers to cultivate such an intimate bond with Christ. The more we rest in Him and engage earnestly in our relationship with Him, the more we experience His love and guidance in our daily lives.
