Jesus with His twelve close friends and followers set the religious world on tilt. The impact the revolutionary Jesus had on society then and now caused His brutal death. He was born in humble circumstance, in a feeding trough, to questionable parents, with a hit put on Him by Herod. A man of sorrows acquainted with grief is what Isaiah said of Him, the electrocardiogram reads meek and lowly. The rest of the world wants to do something big, like jump their bike into a van??
The devil himself tried to temp Jesus to take the more flesh appealing position of power. Jesus said His father’s Kingdom was like a mustard seed, growing from small to huge over a long period of time. The sure thing Jesus said was that the Kingdom would grow. While most religious leaders spend a large part of life thinking they are going to be big and greatly used by God, the truth is we are the greatest and most powerful when we serve in humility the poor and afflicted of this world.
