‘See the failures of the disciples of the Saviour’ (Luke 9:46-56)

The 12 disciples of Jesus were certainly a mixed bag – hot one day (think Peter saying ‘You are the Christ) and cold the next (think their argument on the road to the cross as to which of them was the greatest!). In Luke 9:46-56 it seems that some pettiness in their minds and hearts came to the fore and out of their mouths. Jesus must have felt burdened that they were so off the mark – just like we can also be. Thanks be to God that He wasn’t, but came ‘not to be served, but to serve and give His life a ransom for many’!
