Jesus Was a Failure and a Loser

Jesus chose twelve losers and failures of His the community to help him save the world. They were called “apostles” who, even with the power of God behind them, never succeeded to straighten out the mess even of their own community. In fact, when the Word of Jesus arrived in the Philippines, Filipinos began to believe and have to faith as the Sick Man of Asia. In the meantime, Jesus was not invited to a banquet to celebrate the success of his life and work. On the contrary, He was arrested, tried, and crucified on the cross. Indeed, crucified by saps - the same saps who were created in the image and likeness of His own Father - God. Thus, nailed to a cross dying, Jesus cried out loud: "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?" When it comes to divine failures – Jesus is the answer. In the meantime, Generations have passed and there is yet not a sign that Jesus is returning. Nevertheless, if Jesus arrives, it is most probable that his twelve apostles won’tbe coming along with him. They were all frightened cowards in the eyes of Jesus. Consider the two sick criminals crucified along side Him. Jesus promised one eternal salvation for believing in Him. A promise He never made to any of His twelve apostles. But then again, in the ultimate analysis, why would Jesus bother to return when clearly in John 18:36: Jesus bragged: “My kingdom is not of this world.” Poch Suzara
