The First Disciples

Do you remember when you were in school and you were chosen to be the class leader that day or chosen as a ‘good citizen or buddy’ and the feeling of elation that you had. 

“𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝗲,” 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺, “𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲.” 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝟭:𝟭𝟳

Imagine what that would have felt like to have been chosen as one of Jesus’ disciples. 

I love this quote from Mark 1:17 when Jesus began gathering his disciples and spoke these words to the fisherman he came upon, or sought out, Simon and his brother Andrew and James and his brother John. To be a disciple that Jesus chose to help him spread and preach the Gospel. 

What an honor that would have been especially during those times. I can feel the Glory just with reading God’s word through Jesus. Could you imagine how much more that feeling would be intensified if living it first hand. The Bible gives us that opportunity to live it! To breathe it! To thirst for and consume it! 

I am so thankful for this living and breathing testimony of God and Jesus, his beloved Son. And thankful for my freedoms to share God’s word too.
