Subject: US go... even we, the disciples? |
Bible Note: Hi, Ray! I am kind of a stickler when it comes to Jesus' words... I don't believe that Jesus said things just to appease or give invitations. When teaching the disciples (12) He separated them from the crowds... I cannot see them, with the exception of Judas and Thomas, refusing to follow Jesus' lead... There was that moment of flight/fight which Peter addressed by cutting off an ear... once it was made clear that they were not to use violence... shum! So when Jesus invites them to go with Him, in my mind, they went! Had the disciples refused to go with Jesus, would it not provide a choice morsel of news to record for posterity? Their flight from the garden was recorded--even that of the young man covered in the blanket! Using the "Us" for Jesus only would, in my opinion, nullify both the purpose of Jesus' reluctance to go at once to Lazarus side, and His consequent statement on verse 15. "Us" objective case; "Our" adjective (possessive)--other than that I have no other knowledge. "This to my mind would be glorifying to our triune God." Are you referring to the term "Us/Our" in reference to Jesus or are you speaking in terms of Lazarus' resurrection? God Bless! Angel |
