Salvation and being a disciple of Jesus are usually intertwined because once you receive the free gift of salvation from eternal damnation, you also desire to continue to follow Him. Thus, a disciple of Christ is a follower of His will and his ways. Salvation involves a sincere and heart-felt submission to the Lordship of Jesus, whereby you receive forgiveness for anyof your sins, by believing that he is the Christ, and most importantly that he lived on earth and was crucified to death for your sins so that you may receive Salvation or safety and assurance of eternal life in heaven.

Who is the disciple that lay his head on Jesus' bosom in John chapter 13 verse 23?
In the fourth gospel, this was the "disciple whom Jesus loved". We do not know who the "disciple whom Jesus loved" was meant to be. Irenaeus identified him as being John, a view that is still held by conservative Christians today, and drew the conclusion that John was the author of this gospel, which had previously been anonymous. This was speculation and, today, most scholars doubt that the author really was John.A consistent theme of John's Gospel is that Peter was always compared unfavourably with the "disciple whom Jesus loved". It seems likely that the real author of John was troubled by the reverence given to Peter, and wanted to portray him as no more than a disciple, so as to get the focus back on Jesus. He did not want to create another personality cult in place of that of Peter. By choosing an anonymous disciple, he ensured that this disciple coud not be worshipped. By calling him the "disciple whom Jesus loved" he made it clear that there was a disciple much greater than Peter, without appearing to disparage Peter. The scene in John 13:23 serves to emphasise the affection that Jesus felt for this disciple. So, the "disciple whom Jesus loved" is likely to have been no more than a literary invention.

Was John the only disciple at the crucifixion of Jesus?
A:There is no easy answer to this question. The synoptic gospels make it clear that those of Jesus' acquaintance, including his mother Mary, looked from afar off; there was no disciple or friend of Jesus at his crucifixion. However, John's Gospel says that the 'disciple whom Jesus loved', alone of the disciples, stood at the foot of the cross with Mary. In this gospel, Jesus told the beloved disciple to look after Mary like his own mother. There was speculation from the time the fourth gospel was written as to just who this beloved disciple was. As with all the New Testament gospels, this gospel was originally anonymous. Later in the fourth century, after authors had been attributed to the other gospels, the Church Fathers noticed that the apostle John was not mentioned in the last gospel. They decided that the answer must be that this disciple was John. They then decided that the same disciple must have been the author of the gospel, being too modest to use his own name for this most important and beloved disciple. Thus, on the basis of speculation alone, the disciple at the foot of the cross was John, but only in the gospel now known as John's Gospel.
