I used to think that among Jesus’ 12 disciples, John was the Lord’s favorite disciple and the one who was the closest to Him because the Bible calls John “the disciple whom Jesus loved.” And I always wondered, what was so special about John that made the Lord loved him more?
Then one day, when I was reading God’s Word, the Lord opened my eyes and showed me that the phrase “the disciple whom Jesus loved” is actually found only in John’s own book. Jesus loved all His disciples the same but John knew it. It is a phrase that John used to describe himself! Now, what was John doing? He was practicing and personalizing the love that Jesus had for him. That was his secret!
Beloved, be like John and see yourself as the disciple whom Jesus loves today! This is how you personalize God’s love in your life! http://josephprince.com
