For centuries the Gospel of John was discounted as being non-essential. Matthew, Mark, and Luke were considered to have given instruction of exactly how things ought to be, while John gave wispy, imaginary episodes that taught nothing in particular. Now we know that John is the weightiest of the four gospels because he speaks mostly of the spiritual realm, the true realm that we who are born again are living in right now.
Jesus lived in both the natural realm, since He came to earth as a man, and He lived in the spiritual realm because He knew, being the God who laid aside His deity to live as man, with man, and as an example to man, He knew that the spiritual realm gives natural man his force. He had to demonstrate that to us as it had never been taught before. Here, at the end of His ministry, He gives key secrets to His prayer life.
