Abstraction: Greater Than We Know
LINKS
Peter pledged his undying devotion and loyalty, a grand gesture of his virtue. But Jesus knew. Peter would blow with the breeze, the power of his words to vanish in the face of fear and death.
James and John, their egos and need to sit atop a hierarchy on display, didn’t understand. Jesus didn’t come to serve the pride of man.
And Thomas, our eternal example, his pain so great, lost his faith. How many of us are the same- trauma shaping our fate?
Every single disciple He called, loved, and trained, deserted Him. In His darkest hour, not one remained. Even still, upon His return from death, Jesus went to be with them.
This is the greatness of Jesus, the Father’s Love promise. Whatever we are and what we do, He remains.
