You
usually think of John
As
a contemplator: one whose mind
Had
been moulded by dwelling on
The
Word.
Why
then was this the man
Who
craved a high place
In
the Lord's kingdom?
Why
was this the man
Whose
human zeal thought
To
call fire from heaven?
Yet
it was a mark
Of
the Lord's approval
To
call him and his brother
Boanerges.
And
Christ accepts
No
fleshly zeal.
More good thoughts.
