A Fable AKA No back up plan

The following is a fable. It is not in the Bible.

Last night I couldn't sleep and I listened to a Sermon and heard this fable for the first time.

The Fable:

The Lord Jesus Christ ascends into heaven after his death resurection and post resurection apearances. The Lord is greeted by the 24 elders. One or the elders asks him.

Elder: So Lord what's the plan?

The Lord: Well one of my disciples betrayed me you know, but I've still got 11 of the 12 and they have about 100 other believers with them. Those 11 are going to preach the Gospel to every creature on the face of the earth and make disciples of all nations.

Elder: 11? and about 100 followers?

The Lord: Yes.

Elder: The 11 that doesn't include that doubting Thomas does it?

The Lord: It does.

Elder: The hot heads James & John?

The Lord: Yes certainly.

Elder: Cowardly Peter?

The Lord: Oh yes ofcourse he's the leader of the pack.

Elder: What is the back up plan?
