You know…You might find this an absolutely rediculous thought. But here goes. I believe that each person in the story of Jesus did the role intended. They did exactly what Jesus wanted and were true to God by their deeds.

Relax while I follow through..

You see, each in the denial, the betrayal, the doubt.. served a purpose. The purpose to teach us all. It made Jesus’s story all that more powerful. That no man is above these things in his weakest hour. And that God loves us inspite of ourselves and our weaknesses. We can learn from our mistakes and grow.

The story of Jesus had so much more power with this added to it. It made his sacrifice far more significant.

I think people miss this. They only see the outcome of what happened, and not the wider picture of it. For we each have or own role to play in life. Even if at the time it seems it isn’t such a good one.
