Le temps de formation

Jésus a passé plus de trois ans avec ses douze disciples. Il les a appelés à devenir des disciples dès le début de son ministère (Matthieu 4:19), et il leur a donné la part du lion de sa vie jusqu'à son départ en Matthieu 28. Il a investi sa vie dans ses hommes. Il est étonnant de constater dans les Évangiles combien Jésus s'est donné à ses disciples. Les foules le poursuivaient, mais il poursuivait ses disciples. Il était prêt à bénir les masses, mais il a investi dans le petit nombre.

Jesus spent over three years with His twelve disciples. He called them to be discipled at the outset of His ministry (Matthew 4:19), and He gave them the lion’s share of His life until His departure in Matthew 28. He invested His life in His men. It is amazing to track in the Gospels how much Jesus gave of Himself to His disciples. The crowds pursued Him, but He pursued His disciples. He was willing to bless the masses, but He invested in the few.
