It is interesting to me that Jesus required the disciples to give up 'all" and go out in twos actually homeless as He did.
The birds have nests and the foxes holes yet the son of Man hath not a place to lay His head. Did Jesus "not" set the example of true ministry? Apparently Jesus and the disciples were invited into the homes of believers to eat and sleep so they did not have any other responsibilities to deal with. How simple..... down to earth.... It appears, to me, that the simplicity stopped there. They appeared to be busy almost continually with preaching the gospel to anyone who would listen and Paul seemed willing to give his testimony whenever there was an opportunity --------- even when they were trying to kill him when the soldiers rescued him and while on the steps he asked to give his testimony to those who wanted to kill him..... It was like he would make that sacrifice just for "one" person. Like God will move a mountain for just one person who is seeking for that wonderful "unction" available from the Holy One.
It appears, to me that many in this world have expressed a love for Jesus but want to change the ministry and even what Jesus looked like even though it states that the Godhead aught not to be thought of as graven from art and man's device.
Jesus couldn't have had long hair. In 1Cor it says "Doesn't even nature teach that is a shame for a man to have long hair. Jesus was a Nazarene and only Nazarites could make a vow and not cut any hair for 30 days up to 100 days. Then they had to shave it all off when the time was up. Anyone could choose to be a Nazarite --- try to be totally perfect during that period of time. If they failed to keep their vow they had to shave it off and start all over again. Just some interesting food for thoght.
