It is argued that we are under that same covenant. All we need to do is look at the covenant God made with Abraham ...read more

    When John begins his journey as a disciple he has a thunderous character which is very intolerant. Yet, because Jesus sees all disciples as “a work in progress” we can have the hope and assurance that we also can be disciples for Jesus.

I don’t want to sound disrespectful to Jesus but, as we have systematically considered the disciples, we have found ourselves in a position where we have to wonder about the choice of disciples which ...read more
