John 19:38-42 – The Burial of Jesus.
- “Too late to be Strategic?”
- Two VIP’s come out of the woodwork as disciples of Jesus.
- Both were members of the Sanhedrin the ruling Jewish authorities.
- This old Sanhedrin was about to be replaced by Jesus Apostles, the ones He sent out in Luke 10.
- These two men did a very brave thing here – they made an important an statement.
- I’m wondering how much impact they would have had afterwards?
- They were not included in the 72 as far as I know.
- Does that mean we can be precious as follows of Jesus but not strategic to Him?
- Should they have made their beliefs clear earlier?
- I’m wondering if other leaders even today hide their true beliefs for political reasons.
- I’m wondering if they also hold on to one position out of fear and in doing so lose the opportunity of a far greater opportunity to serve Jesus.
- Just a thought.
- I'm so impressed with those who step out of secure positions to pioneer something they truly believe in.
- I must be careful not to be a secret believer who only states my true beliefs when it’s a little too late.
