Just Pondering....

I have often wondered, 

who had/has it better,

the disciples or us?

Would it be easier to follow Jesus 

if he were right here with us,

or is it easier to follow him knowing how the 

story plays out?

Sometimes I am mystified by the disciples

 lack of understanding

but also am awed at their

commitment.

Jesus was not exactly what

most scholars at the time thought 

their savior would "look" like.

They weren't expecting a 

lamb.

And when Jesus comes again, 

will I recognize him?

He won't be the Jesus I've come to know. 

He'll be more like what the Pharisees

were expecting, 

the lion.
