Reading the second paragraph of this reflection, I realised that I've never actually pictured myself as being back in Jesus day, and as having any chance as being chosen as one of his disciples. I have also never really spent time reflecting on which disciple I might be most like, in terms of personality/temperament. I suspect this is because they were all men. It's undoubtedly been more subconscious than I've realised, but the underlying 'logic' is that Jesus didn't choose to include women among the twelve, and on this basis would never choose me... (an interesting idea that I might just need to explore a bit further)! Thanks for provoking thought and reflection...
Thankyou Claire for sharing this. Are the women around Jesus, he did choose and followed him with the disciples relatable in any way? Thank you for reading.
Again, you comments have given me pause to reflect and consider. Shalom...Shalom.
