About this listen

 Although the Lord Jesus Christ treated all His disciples with condescending and affectionate familiarity, yet some of them He distinguished with more marked attention, and with more intimate access to himself than the rest. On what ground this preference was manifested, it is not for us to inquire; it is sufficient that we are sure that all His actions were guided by perfect wisdom, and sprung from the purest motives. Of the whole number, John only had the appellation of ‘the disciple whom Jesus loved;’ and to him it was granted, not only to be present at those interesting scenes in our Lord’s life and sufferings which were exhibited to few witnesses, but also to lean on his breast at the sacred supper, and to receive, as a legacy, the charge of the blessed virgin from Jesus while dying upon the cross. But Peter also received many marks of special attention from his Master. He was applauded and honoured for his noble confession, that Jesus was the Messiah, the Son of the living God; was severely rebuked for his cowardly and carnal policy in endeavouring to dissuade his Master from meeting the sufferings which he had foretold; was forewarned of his shameful and ungrateful denial of his Lord, and was the object of the special prayers of the great Intercessor, that his faith might not entirely fail in this hour of temptation and discomfiture. And when he had verified the prediction of Jesus, by thrice denying him, he was brought to a penitent sense of his sin by a reproving but gracious look from his suffering Lord. After the resurrection, also, Peter, notwithstanding his fall, was not overlooked. The angels who appeared at the sepulchre to the women, charged them to inform his disciples of the event, and Peter; not naming any other. And it seems that Christ appeared to Peter before he had been seen by any other of the apostles. And here, at the sea of Tiberias, a place consecrated by the residence, the miracles, and sermons of Jesus, he directed his conversation, in a very special manner, to Peter; asking him three times, whether he loved him, and at each answer giving him a charge to “feed his lambs,” or to “feed his sheep.” Christianity Church & Church Leadership Ministry & Evangelism Resurrection
