Bible Question: Whom do you think was the disciple that Jesus loved Luke 21:7,20 |
Bible Answer: Hi Aminat Since Jesus does not single out any one of the several disciples that He was talking to, we must assume this to be a general discourse, to all disciples. We must all expect to hear of false Christs and false prophets appearing, and false prophecies given out. We must all expect to hear of great commotions in the nations, and many terrible judgments inflicted upon the Jews. Christ teaches us what hard things we should suffer for his name’s sake, and elsewhere that we are to count the cost of discipleship if we are to follow Him. This is, in my opinion, the one you are referring to, the one that Jesus loves is the one that lays down his life and follows Jesus. We are here encouraged to bear up under our trials, and to go on about our business, ignoring all opposition that attempts to hinder us. We are then set up for a mark, and publicly persecuted, making us all the more noticed along with our statement of faith, and more scrutiny placed upon us. This will give us opportunities of preaching the gospel to the world that come to question why we behave as such. God Bless you as you serve Him, Tim |
