Paul Murray's Newly Released "Meet Messiah: A Simple Man's Commentary on John" is an Inspiring Exploration of the Unique Gospel Penned by Jesus Christ's Best Friend
MEADVILLE, Pa., Sept. 6, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Meet Messiah: A Simple Man's Commentary on John": a simple but breathtaking study of the disciple John. "Meet Messiah" is the creation of published author, Paul Murray, a Christian husband, father, and grandfather; with experience in professional ministry, realty, and real estate brokerage who also harbors a passion for fly-fishing.
Murray shares his fascination with this unique disciple, "Only Peter, James, and John were allowed in with Jesus when He brought back to life the daughter of the synagogue official Jairus. These three also went alone with Jesus up on a mountain to pray. At the Last Supper, when Peter wanted to know who the betrayer was, he asked John, who was reclining on Jesus's breast, to ask Jesus.
John wasn't just an apostle and faithful disciple among the twelve. He was a close personal friend of Jesus. John was the only disciple at the foot of the cross, comforting Jesus's mother during that tragic event. Knowing He was dying, it was John to whom Jesus entrusted the care of his mother, not to one of His half-brothers. (James, the author of the book of James in the New Testament, was Jesus's brother). At this time, James was not a believer. James didn't become a believer until Jesus met him, one on one, in one of Jesus's postresurrection appearances. I'd love to have been at that meeting."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Paul Murray's new book is a perceptive and inspiring discussion that does not attempt to downplay the other three gospels alongside John's, instead showing how each had an important role to play, and how John's role in testifying to Jesus's divinity has been foundational to the faith.
Compelling and thoroughly researched, Murray brings to light a new appreciation for one of Christ's greatest supporters of all time.
