WHAT HE SAID WAS TRUE

 JOHN 21:20-24 THE OTHER DISCIPLE

Peter turned round and was behind him the other disciple, whom Jesus loved- the one who had learned close to Jesus at the meal and had asked, “Lord who is going to betray you?” When Peter saw him, he asked Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?”

Jesus answered him, “If I want him to live until I come, what is that to you? Follow me.”

So a report spread among the followers of Jesus that this disciple would not die; he said “If I want him to live until I come, what is that to you?”
 He is the disciple who spoke of these things, the one who also write them down; and we know that what he said is true.
 
John the beloved disciple, whom our Lord mandated to take care of Mary His mother before his death on the cross gave the testimony of Christ divinity, and true His identity as the Son of God.
  Who could have given an accurate account of the life of Jesus Christ if not the beloved disciple? He must have learnt a lot about Jesus from the Blessed Virgin Mary, the mother of Christ. For I know they will always discuss about Him. What mother wouldn’t do so to keep the sweet and bitter memory of her Son?

Every mother does that, and our Mother Mary would not be an exception. .Why should some people come up and debunk the story of our Lord? If they could accept that of the prophets in the Old Testament and John the Baptist Christ forerunner; why must they argue about Christ? 

At their births (prophets) and their callings, they have their different peculiarities but that of Christ was unique.  They did not claim to be the messiah but they spoke about His coming. None did say he is the Son of God, except Christ, and He was sure of His identity He did not say I think, but truly I say to you. All His statement about His union with God was same even unto death He did not deny, nor renounce His identity, His unity and His oneness with God the Father.
