Superior Inferiority

Anyone who has ever experienced moments of inferiority, those times when others seem to receive all the breaks and all the elections to place of prominence, should feel a measure of solace from this keen observation by David Egner. The pool of souls the Son of God picked from to accompany Him on His quest – they were far from the popular, upper crust elite of that day.

“Not only was the Son of God born in an unlikely location and of unlikely parents, He chose His first followers at an unlikely place. He didn’t search the religious schools for the most learned scholars. He didn’t look among the ranks of brilliant military leaders. He stayed away from skilled statesmen and famous orators. Rather, Jesus went to the shores of Galilee and called out four common fishermen – Peter and Andrew, James and John.”
