An Ill-Advised Argument

It’s tempting to shake our heads in disbelief at the insensitive and childish behavior of Christ’s disciples: as Jesus spoke of suffering and servanthood, the disciples argued about status and jockeyed for positions of honor.

Like the disciples, though, we have been chosen by Jesus despite our imperfections, and He will never give up on us.
