Prophesied messiah, or prejudged leader? “John. Peter. Paul. Come, follow me.” I imagine Jesus’s smile as he reached out his hand to each man. But, did they drop everything and run to Him? What about when he said, “I am the way, the truth, and the light. No one comes to the Father except through me?” Did they worry about the consequences of leaving family and friends to follow a man who claimed to be the Son of God, the Messiah they had waited for all their lives?...
Jesus. Light of the world and good shepherd. A humble man who became King of Kings, gifted by the Holy of Holies, and destined to lead.
