Chosen: John 1: 1-5 by ric gustafson
According to John 1, in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. The Word was in the beginning. God made all of it. Jesus was called the Word. Jesus's words bring knowledge and light. Jesus's words bring healing and hope.
The disciples were an unconventional group. There were fishermen, a Zealot and a tax collector. The disciples were loud, proud, greedy and defensive. They dropped everything to follow Jesus. In Jesus is life. Jesus's words light up the dark, remove doubt and fear.
To follow Jesus, the disciples left everything. They listened to his teaching. They listened to him pray. Jesus welcomed children. They witnessed Jesus healing the sick. They watched as Jesus defended his Father's house. They watched as Jesus went to the cross, died and then rose again.
The disciples took Jesus's words to the ends of the earth.
