A View from the Cross

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 - "Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. (24) Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake. (25) He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?"
Our Lord is in the Upper Room. Around Him are His disciples.
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 - "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. (2) In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. (3) And if I go and prepare a place for you, ...
