Christ and His Closests Friends: John, the Beloved Disciple

By Apostle Tonya

Peradventure I shall say with all reverence and awe of His Lordship, our Master reclined at the Last Supper with a heart to delight with His Disciples and closest friends, invariably knowing the hearts of all men.

With this in mind, it is certainly most astonishing as Believers of Christ to imagine the eternal purity wherewith surrounded the Table and the Upper Room with the blessed presence of the Deity of Christ.

Continuing on, might I taketh some time to teacheth on a certain Disciple at our Blessed Master’s Table?

Might we first read together a most profound Scripture recorded in St. John 17:12?

The most moving words of the Son of the Highest’s prayer to God, the Father, read:

While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy Name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

Having now read together this passage, I shall purpose to continueth on speaking about our Lord’s Disciple: the beloved John.

For in the Gospels of God, we read with admiration and awe the record of our Master’s devoted and loyal Disciple whom He loved and who chose to resteth on the Son of God’s bosom even while our Lord feasted on His Last Supper with the Disciples. St. John 13:23

And so, I suppose we might hath grace then to imagine this wondrous love and conclude that John was a most trusted friend to His Lord, the very Son of God.
