The Disciple Whom Jesus Loved
Dr. David Davis
John 13:23, John 19:26, John 20:2, John 21:7, John 21:20
Read the following verses with me. Did you hear something alike in each verse? Every passage includes this phrase:
''the disciple whom Jesus loved.''
All through the book of John there is a title given to John by himself. This name as referred by Jesus when he called John, the beloved. When John speaks of himself, he says, ''the disciple whom Jesus loved.'' Matthew, Mark, and Luke call him John.
John speaks of himself as: ''that other disciple'' or ''the disciple who Jesus loved.''
He could have said:
''That disciple that wrote this book.''
''That disciple who knew Him best.''
''That disciple who loved Him best.''
''That disciple who leaned on Jesus' bosom.''
''That disciple who has done great works for God.''
Instead, he said, ''the disciple whom Jesus loved.''
He never uses his name. How can a person be the one that Jesus loves? Let's look at the ways...
I. He Loved To Be Close To Jesus
John 13:23-25

Tomorrow He is going to go before the High Priest.
Tomorrow He is going to stand before Pilate.
Tomorrow He is going to be scourged with a cat-of-nine-tails.
Tomorrow He is going to be laid on the Cross.
Tomorrow He is going to cry, ''My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?''
Tomorrow is the awful suffering of Calvary.
He gathers the ones He loves best in the Upper Room and speaks sweet words - John 14:1-3
Those were the words spoken by our Lord as His chosen ones were gathered around.
Suppose that you knew you were going to die tomorrow. Tonight you would gather around the ones you love the best and you would talk to them about your departure.
Our Lord knows that in a few hours, He, the Son of God, is going to die on the cross; the Father is going to turn His back on Him; and He is going to become sin and drink the cup that did not want to drink. So th ...
