FREE Men of the Bible Coloring Page-The Disciples
Imagine being sent on the most important mission of all time with a group of 12 others, investing every moment in them, teaching them what they needed to know, watching them make one mistake after another, and loving them enough to die for them anyways. The love of Jesus for His disciples amazes me, and it reminds me of His love for me. He knows every mistake I’ve made, and all the ones I have yet to make. He knows every flaw, every shortcoming. Yet He looks at me and chooses me. He wants me on His team. And just as He did with the disciples, He patiently teaches, encourages, and corrects me. He comes to where I am and leads me forward to a place I can’t begin to imagine. He takes an ordinary life and gives it extraordinary purpose. And He never gives up on me. He loved me enough to die for me, and absolutely nothing can change that.
