Meditate On
As the Father loved Me, I also have loved
you; abide in My love.
John 15:9
You
Are The Disciple Whom Jesus Loves
I used to think that of all the disciples
Jesus loved, John was most loved by the Lord because the Bible calls him “the
disciple whom Jesus loved.” Then one day, I discovered that the phrase, “the
disciple whom Jesus loved,” only appears in John’s Gospel. In other words, it
was John who called himself the disciple whom Jesus loved!
Was John being arrogant? Did Jesus love him
more than the rest? No, Jesus loved all 12 disciples the same, but John knew it
and he personalized and practiced Jesus’ love for him.
My friend, that’s what you ought to do too.
Don’t just say, “Yes, yes, Jesus loves everybody.” Say, “Jesus loves ME!” Say,
“I am the student whom Jesus loves,” or “I am the mom whom Jesus loves!” Every
day, personalize, practice and rest in Jesus’ love for you. Expect good things
to happen to you when you believe that Jesus loves YOU in an intimate and
personal way!
