The Twelve Disciples were an unusual and motley bunch. They were in the presence of THE greatest rabbi, teacher, leader, prophet, healer and man who ever lived and they often argued and fought over which of THEM was the greatest. Jesus must have rolled His eyes, took a deep breath and continued with His rabbi'ing, teaching, leading, prophesying and healing, hoping that one day His followers would finally "get it".
Here at TGPP, we have five current and former "Christ Figures", men with different personalities, different gifts and talents, different roles in the PP ministry, and each has a right to stake his claim as the greatest to portray The Greatest, yet there is an air of working to advance the whole rather than the individual and an uncommon humility in their manner. I work most closely with Joe, a veteran of over 30 years here at TGPP, and Kent who is not even 30 years old. They are a riot to work with because of their different "approaches" to solving problems, and their tireless devotion to getting those projects done. They are two of the hardest working people I have ever known and it is a hoot to be a "fly on the wall" as they discuss the means to use in solving the problem at hand. Their love for TGPP is beyond measure, and if we could bottle that "love" WE would be the greatest ministry ever created. I know God smiles when He watches those two at work and will someday greet them with the hardiest of "Well Dones" as they keep on serving Him into eternity.
What a blessing to do what we do, to serve where God has called us, to look beyond the politics of life, the politics of religion and the politics of politics and trust and believe in THE GREATEST, our Lord and Savior...........JESUS CHRIST. Thank You, Lord.
