Even the twelve didn't get what he was trying to teach them; indeed, in the end, most simply abandoned him, confused, and returned to their ordinary lives. So, what was he really about? Paul wrote in I Corinthians that he and his followers worshipped Christ crucified. But, maybe he was just like all the many thousands of the 'other' disciples who lacked the wisdom to truly grasp the message. According to legends and lore, there might have been a lot more to the historical Jesus than even practicing Christians know. In the meadow, we seek to get past the parables and get to know Jesus as he really was and to follow his teachings.
