Q is for Question

So who did Jesus spend his time with? The twelve mostly. Just a few guys.

What about the crowds? It seems that Jesus's main goal was to train His disciples in the context of helping the masses. Look closely at the Gospels. Who did he really want to spend His energy on? The truly hungry or the vaguely curious? Look at Mark4 and the Parable of the Sower and the Four Soils. Who did he explain it to? Those that asked Him what it meant. The twelve and other close disciples, but not the "very large crowd."

What does that mean for us?

What is the difference between helping someone and training someone? Who did he help? Who did he train?

Would you rather eat only American cheese for a year and nothing else, or have one of your arms tied to your side for a year?

Would you rather have eagle like vision or a dog's sense of smell?

Talk amongst yourselves. Anyone have any thoughts?
