Jesus

Jesus’ disciples

Jesus liberated us from the conventional social order. Jesus chose blue-collar workers for leaders. Do you think that’s just accidental? Why didn’t He go to Jerusalem and pick doctors of the law? Why didn’t He pick scholars?  Why didn’t He pick lawyers? Those would have been the ones who would have fought for Him. Rather, He picked fishermen and tax collectors.

Jesus chooses the uneducated and the little ones to be His followers. Is that not a liberating concept to all of us?
