Nearly everyone has had the experience of meeting someone who appears to be warm, engaging, and deeply interested in others, but later learning that the initial impression was based on a veneer, under which was a very different person, one who is really much more interested in his or her own advancement than in anyone or anything else.
Such an experience can lead to a sort of skepticism regarding others we might meet along the way, causing us to wonder, “Is there anyone who is really genuine and authentic—the real deal?”
In this third episode of the series, “Six REALLY Ordinary Men,” we learn of one of the twelve individuals Jesus called to follow Him, to be with Him, and to be sent out by Him, who actually was “the real deal.” From the time Jesus first met him He recognized: “This is a plain-talker, not a phony, and what you see is what you get!”
So, let’s turn to a careful study of one about whom there is very little known, but one who displays this rarest of qualities: authenticity and sincerity, a man in whom there is no deceit. We call this episode, “REALLY Ordinary, but Really Real!”
