#268 - Joseph Prince - Becoming The Disciple Whom Jesus Loved

Practice the love of God for us, just like the Apostle John who called himself "The disciple whom Jesus loved". Keep your eyes on God's fixed and unchanging love for us, and you will be settled. God wants us to be Christ-occupied, not self-occupied. When you sin, God looks at your sacrificial lamb, not at you. If you are a believer, you have Jesus, the Lamb of God. The sacrificial lamb's righteousness is transferred to the offer-er (us), and the sins of the offer-er is transferred into the lamb. That's what happened at the cross. All that we deserved fell into Jesus, and we received Jesus's righteousness and all the blessings and favor of God. Peter's name means "Rock" and it represents The Law. John's name means "Grace". John leaned on Jesus's love for him, whereas Peter boasted of his love for Jesus. Peter failed and denied Jesus thrice. John was the only disciple at the foot of the cross where Jesus hung.
