The Rabbi and His Talmidim

A talmid grew disillusioned with his rabbi.
A talmid betrayed him because of money issues
A talmid thought money worth more than a person
The Rabbi told him just the opposite news.

The talmid thought an offering a waste
The talmid protested the pint of pure nard
The talmid sold God for some lifeless, cold silver
The Rabbi was arrested and imprisoned by the guards.

The talmid ran all the way back to the temple
“This talmid has sinned!” to the priests he cried
“So, Judas, what’s that to us?” they said
But Jesus was saddened by his friend’s suicide.

A talmid grew disillusioned with his rabbi.
The talmid - confused and pained at the sight
The talmid, in his frustration denied
his rabbi being led to his death in the night.

The talmid denied that he had ever known his rabbi
The talmid’s action should have spelled the end of his position
This talmid seems to have thought he was finished
The Rabbi had died - so he went back to fishing.

The talmid was baffled by his rabbi’s resurrection
“My talmid, you’ve stumbled, but you can still be like me.”
Peter would soon become more like his rabbi
Jesus still trusted him to go feed his sheep.
