I couldn't believe it when Jesus
called me to follow Him. I'm not an educated man at all. I couldn't figure out
what He wanted of me. After all, I just knew the basics of our religion.
Turns out that most of the inner
group were not highly educated! He seemed to want to teach us His way, not the
way of the Pharisees. Problem is, that put Him at odds with those in charge.
They didn't like Him at all! The things that Jesus taught were at odds with
what those others had been teaching all those years. It's not surprising that
they tried to kill Him and destroy all that He was building. It threatened them
too much.
What? Oh, yes, Jesus did die. But the
authorities couldn't destroy Him and what He taught. God rose Him up again,
because Jesus was God's Son, the Messiah. Death could not hold Him at all. Yes,
of course, I'm sure - I saw Jesus myself afterwards and saw the marks of the
nails. He has risen and lives!
