metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article is devoted to the disclosure of the teaching of the Apostle John the Theologian
  about following Christ on the basis of the final chapter of the Gospel of John.
  The author comes to the conclusion that love is the main theme of the 21st chapter
  of the Gospel. The Savior’s love for the disciples is the main motive of the evangelist
  John’s story about the Lord’s meal with the disciples after a wonderful fishing trip. The
  central theme of the conversation between the Apostle Peter and the Lord Jesus Christ is also love. It is also a necessary basis for further relations between them, as well as
  all followers of the Savior. The article reveals the issue of the necessity of suffering and
  death for the disciple of Christ, the correlation of love and sorrows, the meaning of
  suffering. On the basis of patristic theology, conclusions are drawn that love for Christ
  makes it possible to overcome the natural fear of death and all the sorrows on the path
  of life. Suffering and death for their Teacher and Lord become His honor, glory and
  desired reward for the disciple. Martyrdom is not a prerequisite for the life of a follower
  of Christ, but those who fight for the truth to death follow Him more.
