    "Why John Did Outrun Peter"

    Title of the Message: “Why John outran Peter?” John records that he outran Peter to the empty tomb? This message is speculation, but I believe that the trues are very acurate. In context John records that he is, “The disciple whom Jesus loved.” When Peter was running to the tomb, no ...read more
