Of all the apostles, John is the only one who can say that he was actually at the cross. The others fled in Gethsemane; Peter left and wept bitterly once he had denied the Lord three times.

John gives us close-up of the shame, the pain and the ugliness of the cross in John 19

Christian homes

Many, many Christian homes are practically secular. They don't deny God. They go to church on Sunday. Perhaps the movies they watch are milder than average. But if you had to compare that home with the average secular home in which God doesn't matter, you would not find many differences…
