'Simon Peter Wanted To Know.'
John 13:24.
a) So Simon Peter motioned to the Disciple who was the closest physically to Jesus.
b) To ask Jesus.
c) Of whom He was speaking.
(This QT reminds me that there are some times that we want to know but it is not necessary for us to know)
PRAY: For daily Wisdom in our walk with the Lord. REMEMBER: There is no need for us to know everything.

'Leaning Back Was Very Intimate.'
John 13:25.
a) The Disciple whom Jesus loved
b) Was leaning back on the breast of Jesus,
c) He said to Jesus:
d) "Lord, who it is who is going to betray You."
(Through this Second one I understand that Leaning Back Was Very Intimate)
PRAY: Not to be over-familiar in our relationship with the Lord.

Simon Peter wanted to know when it was not necessary for him to know. The Lord's Business is His Business. This is just the same as anyone, not only for the Lord! Everyone is entitled to their own life and privacy. Invasion of privacy was never something encouraged by Jesus. He always gave to the Disciples their space. The reason that they could all serve together for such a long time as a team was that Jesus gave all His Apostles and Disciples their space. We need especially to remember this when we are involved in Ministry Teams, everyone is entitled to their own space. To take away a person's personal life or space is what a cult may do. Church and Christian Ministry should always respect another's personal space.
