SECRET DISCIPLES

Today's reading: John 19-21

"Afterward Joseph of Arimathea, who had been a secret disciple of Jesus (because he feared the Jewish leaders), asked Pilate for permission to take Jesus' body down. When Pilate gave him permission, he came and took the body away." John 19:38 NLT

I believe there is God-sized purpose for the secret disciples around the world today.

The people who are not loud with their faith.

The people who do not wear the Christian t-shirts.

The people who don't quote Bible verses with every breath.

God has them in place, in their homes and workplaces and communities, for moments like the one Joseph found himself in.

In an ungodly palace, surrounded by godlessness we find a man who had made enough of an impact on Pilate, or had chosen to not ruffle his feathers in any way. One fella who could ask this great request and it be granted.

For such a time as this.

Maybe you are a secret disciple. 

For now.
