My thoughts on Ravi Zacharias International Ministries (RZIM) Let My People Think podcast with Dr. John Lennox on Tale-bearing, Partiality and Dreams. Dr. Lennox addresses the question: "what is the biggest risk to institutions (nation or family)" by looking to the story of Jacob's partiality toward his son Joseph. Dr. Lennox proposes one of the greatest threats to institutions is favoritism but what I don't get is "what about Jesus's favoritism toward 3 of his disciples (Peter, James, and John)?" Matthew 17:1-9, Mark 9:2-8, Luke 9:28-36, John 20:2

Thats a very interesting thought Jim. It made me think then, if Jesus had favorites, what about parents? All parents say "I dont have a favorite, I love all of my children the same, but differently" Is that true? Or is it impossible to not love your children all the same amount, since Jesus's disciples were his friends, not his birthed children. But, since he is 3-in-1 they are technically his children.
