THE DISCIPLE
Thousands heard of Jesus. Twelve knew him intimately. Only one grasped who he was.
“You are Messiah, Son of the living God.”
Peter’s outgoing and often brash personality frequently grated against many and landed him in awkward situations, but he lived life fully every day. The fisherman left no doubt about where he stood on any given topic, even when cursing in complete denial of his relationship with Jesus.
These same traits, his boldness and fearlessness, made Peter the ideal candidate to lead the disciples. His courage pushed him to walk on the turbulent waters of Galilee and to deliver the first message of the gospel on the day of Pentecost, while the others hesitated.
Now an old man, Peter tells his incredible life story to the scribe of a Roman senator who seeks to preserve the gospel in writing.
The Disciple is a thought-provoking look at Peter’s journey with Jesus and the dynamic, often tense, relationships he develops with Jesus and the other disciples.
