One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to him.
John 13:23
I’ve read this verse before, but it never has fully sunk in, until now. This verse is of course talking about the disciple, John… and John of course wrote this verse.
It’s not that Jesus didn’t love the other disciples, but it’s that John knew He was loved. He believed it.
As I’ve been reading others’ blogs, I’ve noticed something lately about “Christian” bloggers, including myself. We rarely use Scripture in our posts. Maybe it’s becoming “uncool”… NO.WAY.
I know my reason. It’s because I know someone is reading my posts and knows a lot more about the Bible than I do. Then when I use that Scripture that I think is perfect, someone who knows Hebrew and Latin and actually wrote part of the Bible, points out that it’s not being used in the right context. Yep. That happens quite a bit.
I do learn something from those folks, though.
I’ve been thinking about all of this lately. This shouldn’t keep me from using Scripture. I should share it every chance I get.
I should actually use a verse in every post even if it doesn’t go, just to mess with all of your minds.
Maybe I’ll start with something easy, but profound. Something like John 3:16.
That verse always goes.
So, what’s your favorite scripture and why?
