Title: All the disciples
For three eventful years, the disciples had been prepared for the role of leadership in turbulent times. It is true that they had fled for their lives, and had left their Teacher at the hands of his enemies, but the Lord knew they’d be back.
The Lord Jesus was such an excellent leader, one who could inculcate strength and courage where only weakness was evident, that he was willing to leave despite the seeming disunity among his followers. The transfer of responsibility was not apparent at that time, but soon enough, boldness worthy of what they had been taught would, like cream, rise to the surface.
