Excerpt from
The Last Disciple: Gospel of John
After Tychicus had sorted out his clothes, John clapped him on the shoulder. “How many people have you baptized over the years?”
“Tychicus pursed his lips. “Quite a number, for Paul did not really like to baptize believers himself. He usually delegated that to me, or sometimes to Titus or Silas or Timothy.”
While John listened to his friend, he made a connection that had never occurred to him before. “I don’t know if you knew this, but Jesus did not baptize either. He always had one of us disciples do it. I don’t remember him baptizing anyone. Perhaps he felt his calling was to baptize with the Holy Spirit. Maybe that’s why he let us do the baptisms in water.”
John woke in darkness with vivid images flashing through his mind. He thought back to sunny days on the Jordan River when he and Andrew and other followers of John the Baptist had helped those who wanted to be baptized. They were good days, but on one of them, his life changed forever.
That day, John the Baptist saw Jesus coming toward him, and he said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”

 Kurt Brouwer | Kurt is a Christian and a member of a vibrant Christian church on the Big Island of Hawaii. So, in addition to all the usual temptations writers face, Kurt has to fight off the lure of beautiful beaches, pounding surf, great weather, and lush golf courses. Can you imagine? About nine years ago, Kurt did a study for his church on the Apostle John. If you’ve ever been obsessed by anything, you’ll understand what happened. Kurt couldn’t stop researching, digging, diving into the life of John and other first century Christians. Kurt read books by early church historians who wrote quite a bit more more about the disciples, but they often contradicted each other. |
Further, they never really delved into the daily lives and motivations, joys and sorrows of the first Christians. Kurt took
all of his research and knowledge, all the insights and details he had acquired and turned it into a series of Christian
historical novels based on research and Biblical knowledge. The first four books in the series are now available
(on Amazon). Here is the series link: The Last Disciple Series. The Last Disciple: Crisis in Jerusalem,
The Last Disciple: Escape to Antioch, The Last Disciple: Exile in Ephesus, and The Last Disciple: Gospel of John.
