HIS CLOSEST FOLLOWERS
Today's reading:  Luke 7-8

In regards to Jesus' disciples, one could think they were extraordinary men.  It might be assumed that they were given to unique or outstanding talents or gifts.  It might be thought that they had airs of prestige in their very beings.

Or you could realize they were human and what set them apart as ones Jesus drew near because of what I found today...

"His disciples asked him what the story meant."  Luke 8:9 NLT

Simple words.  Clear cut information about who they were.  A very good idea for us to follow.

They didn't assume to know.

They didn't chalk it up to something they couldn't talk to Him about.

They didn't give up when something came their way they couldn't understand.

They didn't rely on their own wisdom, but drew on all they knew He knew.

Quite a good example for us to follow, don't you think?
