Look, I know it's just one word, but I'm totally hung up on it.

The fact that after everything that happened after the disciples bailed on Jesus, not when Jesus

went through like a mild inconvenience, but when Jesus got executed by the state, by professional killers killers stripped in front of everybody, flogged, beaten,

humiliated, all of this stuff. Nobody's there. The disciples aren't there. They all scattered and they left.

Now the women disciples, they hung in with

them. It looks like John showed up incognito, but you would think that we're going to have

this really ugly moment where we put it all back together that's coming down the pike, like some

come-up-ins, right? Like when Jesus sees them you sort of expect the well well well

look who came crawling back do you have anything you guys want to say to me

about your decision making or your courage or lack thereof as it

were.

Any apologies, any thoughts at all because recently I got executed by professional executioners.

Anybody like want to just lead with maybe a simple I'm sorry?

That's what you'd expect.

You'd expect for there to be metaphorical blood that has to be shed to make this thing right mountains of I told you so

and frankly some hardcore squaring of accounts probably with a bunch of mean nasty facetiousness like I was just emulating but it isn't what we get from Jesus at all and

Look I understand that in the same chapter like death was conquered and the divide between finite man and infinite God was bridged and all the things

that we saw in the book of Matthew about who Jesus is and the kingdom and the values of the

kingdom and the destiny of all of history and where it's all going

I all of that stuff was validated and clarified I get it that's a big deal but also I really think it's a big deal

that Jesus again this one word, calls them brothers.

Those people who bailed on him, it's like he doesn't even want to sort it out.
