One Whom Jesus Loves

John 13:23 Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.

The apostle John in the gospel narrative that bears his name referred to himself often as the disciple whom Jesus loved. Do you think that was an arrogant statement for him to refer to himself that way? I can assure you that it wasn’t. It wasn’t because the Lord loved him more than the other apostles. It wasn’t because he felt that he was more special than the others.

The reason he referred to himself that way was the fact that he never got over Christ’s love for him. To John, his name, was not worth mentioning. He had done nothing to earn, merit or deserve Christ’s love. It is almost as if He is saying, “I can’t believe that the Lord loves me.” John knew that Christ loved Peter, James, Matthew, Mark and all the others, but all that he could think about was that Christ loved Him.

It is the same with me. It is easy for me to see how the Lord could love others. But me? How could He love me? There is no reason that my Lord would be mindful of me, or merciful to me, and YET He loves me. I am the one who deserves the least of His love, and yet He loves me. When a saved sinner sees by the sovereign grace of God, Christ’s love for them, they do not desire to talk about themselves, they simply consider themselves as one whom Jesus loves. They want to talk about nothing but Christ’s love for them!

This dear apostle wrote in his epistle these words, We love him, because he first loved us. 1 John 4:19
