THERE IS A LEGEND ABOUT JESUS IN HEAVEN SHORTLY AFTER HIS TIME ON EARTH. THE ANGELS WERE TALKING WITH HIM, AND GABRIEL SAID, "MASTER, YOU SUFFERED TERRIBLY DOWN THERE. DO THE PEOPLE KNOW HOW YOU LOVED THEM AND WHAT YOU DID FOR THEM?" "NO," SAID JESUS, "NOT YET. A FEW PEOPLE IN PALESTINE KNOW." "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE," SAID GABRIEL, "TO LET EVERYONE KNOW?" JESUS SAID, "I HAVE ASKED PETER AND JAMES AND JOHN AND A FEW OTHERS TO MAKE IT THE BUSINESS OF THEIR LIVES TO TELL OTHERS ABOUT ME, AND THE OTHERS STILL OTHERS, AND YET OTHERS, UNTIL THE FARTHEST PERSON ON THE WIDEST CIRCLE KNOWS WHAT I HAVE DONE." GABRIEL LOOKED VERY DOUBTFUL. "YES," HE SAID, "BUT WHAT IF PETER AND JAMES AND JOHN GROW TIRED? WHAT IF THE PEOPLE WHO COME AFTER THEM FORGET? WHAT IF WAY DOWN IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY PEOPLE JUST DON'T TELL OTHERS ABOUT YOU? HAVEN'T YOU MADE ANY OTHER PLANS?" JESUS ANSWERED, "NO, I HAVEN'T MADE ANY OTHER PLANS. I AM COUNTING ON THEM."
