PERSONALIZE THE LOVE OF CHRIST



“Lying back on Jesus’ chest was one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved.”

John 13:23 (New American Standard Bible)



One glorious identity you can have is not the job you do, the title you bear, the things you have accomplished; but the reality that you are loved by Jesus.

The love of Christ is not limited to one person or a group of people. 

The love of Christ reaches all and is available for all. His love is unconditional, unquenchable, unfailing, intense, extensive, expansive and unending.

Jesus in His earthly walk loved everyone, and that was why He died for all men.

John (the apostle of Jesus), the author of the “Gospel of John” personalized Christ’s love for him.

The Gospel of John is known as the revelation of the divinity of Jesus. However, it is also the Book focused on the revelation of the Love of God.

John the apostle wrote about the love of God for the world (see John 3:16). And how Christ also has a special love for His own who are in the world (John 13:1).

He unveiled the fellowship of love in the Godhead, as in the Father’s love for the Son. The Lord shares this same love with His disciples (John 15:9).

Jesus loves the world, yet He loves His disciples and has a deeper fellowship with them.

John wrote how Jesus loved Lazarus and his sisters (Mary and Martha). He even wept when Lazarus died, and the people who saw him said, “See how He loves him”. (John 11:5, 35-36).

So clearly, John the apostle knew the scope and extensiveness of the love of Christ. However, he personalized the love Christ has for him.

For about five times in his Gospel account of Jesus, he identified himself as the disciple whom Jesus loved.

(See the following verses, John 13:23; 19:26; 20:2; 21:7, 20).

John didn’t only write about how Jesus loved him, he also wrote about how he related to Jesus.

In the Gospel of John, we see that he related to Jesus as his Father. John didn’t connect to Jesus only as his master. He exudes the confidence of one who is loved.

While all the disciples were dining with Jesus, John writes how he was lying on Jesus’ chest.

Wow…

John lying on the chest or bosom of the King of Glory?

Let me ask you:

Do you have the same level of confidence in the love of Christ?

How do you see yourself when you think about Jesus?

Do you think you are among all the innumerable company of saints?

Or do you think you are the one Jesus loves?

This is not about esteeming yourself above others. This is not about being loved because of your deeds.

The confidence in Christ’s love for you must be dependent on who Christ is and the richness of His love.

He loves you personally. Among the multitudes, He still loves you as though you are the only one He sees.

Personalize the love of Christ.

“I AM THE DISCIPLE WHOM JESUS LOVES”

Glory to God!!!

Shalom
