a fine betrayal?

so its been in the news that the director of the divincy code movie was claiming to have found jesus and mary and joesph's bones in the middle east. from what i understand its pretty much cause he found those three names on the tombs, but there were really common names at the time so its pretty much balls.

anyway i was reading a bit or mark's book about jesus life just before the crucifixion and a couple of bits struck me for the first time. Firstly peter his mate denys him three times, but i was thinking if he hadnt he probably would have been killed with jesus, the other disciplines who all fled, if they had stood their ground the same thing. in the end they formed the first church and the beginnings of christianity, so if they hadnt of been chickens and run away then who would have done it. So basically what looks like a totaly failure on their part was actually part of God's bigger plan, which give me a lot of hope ;)

secondly im kinda starting off freelancing and its pretty clear that who you know is a lot more important than anything else, but think about jesus when he was crucified, the way he went from each court to the other and finally before the crowd, if he had spent time getting to know even one priest or palace official they probably would have been able to pull a few strings and get him off... but that would stopped God's salvation plan for the world. So basically im kinda floored by that instead of running around making "connections" and building "networks" Jesus just loved each person with a perfect equality, it didnt matter to him what job or position or money they had, he NEVER chased influence, his afirmation came from his father in heaven and he just loved the people he came across each day...
