The Scriptures lay at the heart of all John’s teaching and preaching. His ability to interpret them was not simply a matter of the intellect, but of a heart full of love for Christ, and a longing to serve him faithfully, no matter what the cost in human terms. For he believed and submitted himself to the sovereignty of God and the Lordship of Christ in his own life – and he accepted the authority of the Bible as the word of God, regardless of ridicule by some.

Indeed, John taught and practised what he believed, and I thank God for the way he pointed me constantly to Jesus. ‘Don’t look at me’, he would say. ‘Look at Jesus and listen to him.’ But he also demonstrated the truth of what he was saying by his own example of obedience. This was the powerful magnet that drew people to put their faith in Christ as the Son of God and Saviour of the world.
