“Jesus never tried to hide his loneliness and dependence on other people. He chose his disciples not as servants but as friends. He shared moments of joy and grief with them, and asked for them in times of need. They became his family, his substitute mother and brothers and sisters.

He loved them, plain and simple.” PeopleNeedsMomentsJoyMotherJesusGivenSimpleGriefLonelinessBrotherServantSubstitutesDiscipleDependenceBrothers And SistersGiven UpGave UpTime Of NeedPlain And SimpleDependence On OthersJoy And GriefShared Moments Author:Philip Yancey
