Coming out alive and rich in high end Christology, the Gospel of John poses into the world one more purpose than what the other Gospel writers said about the life and earthly ministry of Jesus Christ, which is to counter-attack criticisms or unorthodoz belief of the Jews, saying that Jesus' existence is mainly spirit and not flesh. This defies the 100% humankind and 100% God-nature that Christians regarded Jesus to be, throwing away all the edges of reason and embracing the majesty and infallibility of Heaven.
As a gospel, John is a story about the life of Jesus. The Gospel can be divided into four parts: the Prologue, the Book of Signs, the Passion narrative, his version of the story and the Epilogue.
The prologue hightened Jesus as God, in all His deeds and power across the earth. The signs mirrored Jesus' earthly ministries, his teachings and the signs He set for the world to see. John's version of the Passion told of the events in the Upper Room (the Last Supper) as He discoursed the events of the following day and the farewell He gave, along with the arrest, crucifixion, burial and resurrection. On the epilogue, Jesus was showcased after He resurrected Himself from the dead and revealed Himself to the disciples.
Logos, as it was called, was John's forefront on Jesus' mission on earth, and the way He conversed with the disciples at length about Himself. John uplifted Jesus more than any of the Gospel Writers ever did. He put Jesus, the person, the God above His message, in contrary to what the other gospel writers.
In summary, the inspiration the writer held as he wrote his version of the story of the owner of the face and heart he was very close to, was infallibly beautiful. Showcasing the caster, and not the casted, something for a change, made the whole world loving Him and His word more and more, now knowing the power from where it's all from, and still fully clinging to learning more about Him everyday.
