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!
