Jesus Christ had many disciples.

- who followed Him

- who believed that He was from God

- some say He was a prophet

- others say He was Elijah or John the Baptist

- but even though they did not know that He was the Christ.. they still followed Him,

believing He was sent by the Lord, for He can perform signs & miracles & can teach the

Word of God, as the one having with authority

But among these disciples who followed Him..


3/9

He has chosen & appointed His 12 apostles..

- in whom, He revealed Himself that He was the Christ

- in whom, He revealed that He and the Father is one

- in whom, He has taught all His teachings at the Mount of Olives

- in whom, He revealed the meaning of the parables

- in whom, He has shown all His miracles

- in whom, He had shared all the knowledge that He has from the Father

- in whom, He has been privately teaching His apostles

whether at the Mount of Olives, or in a closed room- in whom, He told that He would would be crucified but would be risen from the dead- in whom, He has shown Himself after He has risen from the dead

- in whom, He has baptized them with fire & Holy Spirit to have power to do miracles,

signs, wonders from the Lord.- in whom, He has given authority to spread His Word, His Gospel to the nations


4/9

But among these 12 apostles..

There are 3 apostles, who were closest to the Lord..

..Peter, James & John (the disciple whom Jesus loved)..

These 3 apostles have been given the Secret of Jesus Christ..

- they witnessed the transfiguration of Jesus

- they were given the season, the signs, of His coming & of the end of the age (Along

with Andrew)

- Jesus took them in Gethsemane, to watch & pray, before the hour has come


5/9

And of these 3.. two were the closest to the Lord..

- Peter & John whom the Lord has shown Himself in disguise after He has risen, which

the two apostles did not recognize Him or by His words

- Peter - who was given by the Father, to know that He is the Christ, the Son of God

- John - who recognized Jesus after His resurrection when He showed Himself the

third time at the sea of Tiberias, and all the disciples did not recognized Him.


6/9

- Peter - whom Jesus asked to feed His lambs & His sheep, to crucify himself, put to

death the old man that he was & put a new man which is Christ, to follow Jesus Christ

in doing the will of the Father


7/9

-John, the disciple whom Jesus loved - was given divine revelation & inspiration to

write the Most important things about Jesus, to account the revelation of Jesus Christ,

being Him & the Father as one. To account the meaning of salvation, works of the

Spirit & other teachings of Jesus that was not found in the book of Matthew, Mark &

Luke. He alsoaccounted the revelation about Jesus Christ, which were written inplain & simple words for them to truly know & understand Him.- He was also given the SECRET, to know what would happen in the Last days, the

End of the Age, & the New Beginning, that he accounted everything in the book of

Revelation.

SO YOU SEE, AMONG THE DISCIPLES, THE FOLLOWERS OF JESUS CHRIST, HE HAS

APPOINTED HIS 12 APOSTLES. AMONG THESE 12 APOSTLES, HE HAS CHOSEN 3 OF

THEM, TO WITNESS SOME OF HIS SECRETS. AND OF THESE 3 APOSTLES, HE HAS

CHOSEN & APPOINTED, TO WHOM HE WILL ENTRUST TO REVEAL A SECRET & WHO

WILL HE USE MIGHTILY FOR HIS PURPOSE TO DO THE WILL OF THE FATHER.THESE APOSTLES HAS THERE OWN WORKS & PURPOSE ACCORDING TO THE WILL

OF THE FATHER. AND THIS IS WHAT THE MODERN PHARISEES DON'T EVEN

UNDERSTAND. THEY THINK THAT EVERYTHING WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE IS SPOKEN TO

ALL BELIEVERS, UNBELIEVERS, FOLLOWERS, DISCIPLES, APOSTLES ALIKE.

THEY THINK THAT EVERYONE IS EQUAL, THUS FROM THEIR OWN INTERPRETATION,

THEY TOOK IT ACCOUNT TO THEMSELVES, WHAT JESUS CHRIST TOLD TO HIS

APOSTLES, EVEN THOUGH THE LORD HAS NOT CHOSEN & APPOINTED THEM...... ....

.......

....

WHERE DO YOU STAND WITH THE LORD?

ARE YOU JUST PART OF THE CROWD FOLLOWING HIM?

ARE YOU PART OF HIS APOSTLES?

ARE YOU PART OF THOSE CLOSEST TO HIM?

HAS HE CHOSEN & APPOINTED YOU TO DO SOMETHING IMPORTANT?

HAS HE GIVEN YOU REVELATIONS COMING FROM HIM?

AS FOR ME,

I DEFINITELY KNOW WHERE I STAND WITH HIM.

AND IT IS JUST BETWEEN ME & HIM ALONE.

"...I speak NOT of you ALL:I know whom I HAVE CHOSEN.. .."- Jesus (John 12:18)
