Jesus and the Twelve Choir Members
What if Jesus had been a worship pastor? What if His twelve disciples had been singers or instrumentalists that helped in His ministry?
One day Jesus went out on a hill to teach His disciples. After reaching the appointed place, Jesus looked toward His disciples and said, “Let us rehearse Psalm 91.”
Peter cried out, “Lord, we have not yet done our vocalise.”
Matthew asked, “Can we not afford some newer music?”
Thaddeus called out loudly, “What Psalm did He say?”
Phillip asked, “Good Rabbi, is this song not intended only to be sung on Shabbat?”
Andrew who was seated with his legs crossed and eating some fish and bread wondered allowed, “Will we have to memorize this, Lord, or may we use our scrolls?”
James and John, sons of Zebedee, began to argue as to which would be better suited for the descant.
James, the son of Alphaeus, interrupted the continuing argument because he was convinced that the other James had once again mistakenly picked up his scroll of the Psalms.
Judas walked up to Jesus and told him secretly, “This Psalm is very much like James and John. It stinks like fish. Nobody liked it the last time we sang it.”
Simon reclined in the back reading a scroll from the Pentateuch.
Bartholomew interjected, “The part about the pestilence that stalks in the darkness and the plague that destroys at midday seems so dark and depressing. I would rather sing something about love and joy.”
Thomas quickly added, “I don’t think I can sing those bass notes. They are just too high. Who wrote this anyway?”
Jesus finished the rehearsal then went into the wilderness alone and wept.
