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.
Just pondering.....
