Walking Like Jesus Walked by Greg Holmes, D.MIN – Director of Missions serving 17 churches
JOHN IS KEENLY AWARE of and deeply inspired by Jesus’ character and nature. He was the youngest of Jesus’ apostles, having become a disciple when he was a young teenager—most commentators see him as 13-16 years old when he started his journey with Jesus. In his gospel he addresses himself as “the disciple whom Jesus loved.” (John 13:23) In his letters, he calls himself “The elder.” (2 John 1:1) We wonder if these are reasons for the depth of John’s own character development—his youth at the beginning, his love of and by Jesus, and his apparently long life.
