The 12

Post by macca »

Has anyone wondered about when Jesus called His 12 disciples that they left what they were doing and followed Him immediately?
No questions asked just took off after Jesus?

Yes the 12 did follow him, but that was just the 12 who followed.

There were others whom Jesus called and they did NOT follow him.

Luke 9:59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
61 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

Matthew 19:21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

May we always respond as the 12 did - may we follow Jesus.

Are you obedient as the 12 and following Jesus?


God bless

The fault in Bible complications is not with God or the Bible, but with men who refuse to believe what God says and think we have to interpret what He says in order to get the meaning. Dake Bible -Mark 11:17 note

I am amazed just about every time I read or listen to the gospels how they just dropped everything and followed Jesus.
Jesus states the His Father gave them to Him, so it appears they were chosen by the Father for Jesus's ministry.

Ok, the way this post is going, lets talk about Jesus and His response to family.
In Mark. 3; ver 20 Then the multitude came together again, so that they could so much as eat bread.
But when His own people(family) heard about this, they went out to lay hold of Him, for they said, "He is out of His mind"
They were ashamed and offended by Jesus.

31; then His brothers and His mother came, and standing outside they sent to Him, calling Him.
And a multitude was sitting around Him; and they said to Him, 'look, Your mother and Your brothers
are outside seeking you."
But He answered them, saying, "Who is My mother, or My brothers?"
And He looked around in a circle at those who sat about Him, "Here are My mother and My brothers!
For whoever does the will of God is My brother and My sister and mother"
John. 7:1-5;
