It must have been quite humbling
To be a disciple of Christ
To daily walk in His footprints
Listen to His instructions and advice
To sit and listen to Him teaching
Learning how to be more like Him
Going against all rhyme or reason
Casting away traditions on a whim
Can you imagine their wonder
As He worked miracles every day?
To realize who He actually was
And the steep price He had to pay
Can you imagine their amazement
While he multiplied fish and bread?
Probably shook their heads in awe
As He raised people from the dead
Just think about the upper room
When He knew that His time was short
With them broke bread, drank wine
Knowing His destiny He wouldn’t abort
Then think about how they denied Him
For Peter the cock thrice it crowed
Thinking only of their own safety
Claiming Christ they did not know
Imagine the astonishment when He appeared
After being dead for three days
Then having to reveal Himself to Thomas
Proving His arising, twas the only way
The enormity, it must have struck hard
When to Heaven He did ascend
Leaving them to carry on His ministry
Jesus put His trust in mortal men
Now He sits at the right hand of God
Depending on us to do His work
Even today He has His disciples
Spreading His Gospel, will not shirk
So, are there still disciples today?
The answer; is an unequivocal yes
I know because I know I am one
Following my Master, I do my best
