The apostle John gives us insight into the incredible love of Jesus for His disciples when he comments on the events of the last supper. He says, "Jesus…having loved His own who were in the world…" Let it be noted that "His own" were not at all lovable at the time. They were still arguing who was the greatest among them right up to the time Jesus was establishing what we call the Lord's Supper! Yet, Jesus didn't love them for anything that had to do with their performance. He loved them because they were His own. And, "having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them (continued to love them) to the end" (John 13:1, NASB).
